Abstract Deformation along oceanic transform faults is partitioned between seismic and aseismic slip, controlled by lithology, thermal structure, and fluid circulation. We analyze one year of data from a 54‐station ocean bottom seismometer network deployed across the Blanco Transform Fault (BTF), Northeast Pacific.

Abstract Interactions between the Antarctic Ice Sheet and the underlying solid Earth occur within the ice‐bedrock interface zone (IBIZ), containing structures of sediments and rocks that strongly influence ice sheet dynamics. Existing insights into the Antarctic IBIZ come primarily from interpretations of airborne geophysical data and active seismic ...

Abstract We investigate shear‐wave splitting of SKS and SKKS phases from teleseismic earthquakes to study the anisotropic structure of the lithosphere and upper mantle beneath the Colombian Andes. This area is shaped by complex interactions between the subducting Nazca and Caribbean plates beneath the South American plate. A recent broadband deployment

Abstract With over a century since the last major rupture affecting the wider Los Angeles region, tectonic stress has steadily built along the southern San Andreas and San Jacinto fault systems, raising concerns of an imminent large earthquake. Cajon Pass, located at the junction of these faults, represents a critical site for potential through‐going ...

Abstract Crust formed in volcanic arcs is accreted to continents over geologic time, serving as the source material for new continental crust in Earth's present and recent past. Geochemically, arcs are found to be significantly more mafic than bulk continental crust.

Hydrological Impact of Earthquakes on Reverse and Normal Faults: Results From Numerical Models
Abstract I investigate earthquake‐induced hydrological signals related to poroelastic deformation, thermal pressurization, fault‐zone dilatancy and rupture of a pressurized reservoir at depth. This is performed using a two dimensional plane strain model that simulates ruptures on reverse and normal faults governed by rate‐and‐state friction coupled to ...
