Rapid metabolism fosters microbial survival in the deep, hot subseafloor biosphere
Nature Communications, 2022 In the deep sedimentary biosphere, 80 °C has been proposed as an upper thermal barrier for life. Using a suite of radiotracer experiments, this study reports active methanogenic and sulfate-reducing microbial populations with high cell-specific metabolic

Laboratory observations of slow earthquakes and the spectrum of tectonic fault slip modes [PDF]
, 2016 Slow earthquakes represent an important conundrum in earthquake physics. While regular earthquakes are catastrophic events with rupture velocities governed by elastic wave speed, the processes that underlie slow fault slip phenomena, including recent ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract Understanding the cause of spatial variations in seismicity is crucial for comprehending the physics governing earthquake activity. Off Iwate, in the northern Japan Trench subduction zone, the plate boundary can be divided into three distinct zones based on depth‐dependent slip regimes: the slow earthquake, asperity, and stable creeping zones.

Biological surveys reveal unexpectedly high faunal diversity at Nankai Trough methane seeps
EcosphereCold seeps are chemosynthesis‐based ecosystems powered by microbial primary production that support diverse and specialized faunal assemblages in the deep sea. Despite Nankai Trough in Japan being a geologically active margin hosting numerous seeps, much

Shallow Creep in the Leaky Stress Shadow of Locked Zones of Subduction Megathrust
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract In some subduction zones such as Nankai, creeping of the shallow part of the megathrust in the stress shadow of deeper locked zones is detected by seafloor geodetic measurements and/or reflected by slow earthquakes (SEQs). Here we explain that shallow creep occurs in the stress shadow for two reasons: (a) prolonged afterslip and (b) a leaky ...

P and S wave velocity measurements of water-rich sediments from the Nankai Trough, Japan [PDF]
, 2014 Acoustic velocities were measured during triaxial deformation tests of silty clay and clayey silt core samples from the Nankai subduction zone (Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expeditions 315, 316, and 333).

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract Frictional slip behavior in fault zones can be analyzed with friction laws using 1 or 2 state variables, but the physical meaning and applicability of the 2‐state variable form of the law remain unclear. Here, we re‐analyze friction experiments by Roesner et al. (2022, https://doi.org/10.1186/s40623‐022‐01728‐w) using a natural sample from the

Earth, Planets and Space, 2020 Plate-boundary earthquakes of magnitude 8 or greater along the Suruga–Nankai Trough subduction zone have repeated at intervals of 90–150 years, but with widely varying magnitudes and rupture areas.
