Ridge Migration and Plate Boundary Readjustments at the Rodriguez Triple Junction
Abstract The Rodriguez Triple Junction (RTJ) marks the intersection of the Indian Ocean's three principal mid‐ocean ridges and is a type locality for Ridge‐Ridge‐Ridge triple junctions. A local seismic network was deployed for 8 months to monitor seismicity around the RTJ and the adjacent Central Indian Ridge (CIR).

A Spreading‐Rate Dependence for Periodic Signals Embedded in Otherwise Aperiodic Abyssal Hills
Abstract I present evidence, through an empirical pre‐whitening analysis, that periodic signals are embedded in otherwise aperiodic abyssal hills across paleo‐spreading rates ranging from 1 to 9 cm/yr (half rate). Data are comprised of archival trackline and multibeam bathymetry profiles in north and south Atlantic Oceans, Pacific‐Antarctic Ridge ...

Abstract The physical conditions governing earthquake initiation are largely unknown, particularly in the minutes to seconds preceding rupture. While there is geodetic and seismic evidence of precursory activity in the hours to weeks prior to large earthquakes, the observational evidence immediately preceding the earthquake rupture is limited and ...

Thermal Structure Beneath the Himalayan Orogen Revealed by Pn‐Wave Receiver Function Imaging
Abstract The Himalayan orogen formed through convergence between the Indian and Eurasian plates, and parts of the subducting Indian crust were impeded by the Lhasa terrane and accreted into the orogen. However, whether the Indian lower crust was stripped from the downgoing plate and incorporated into the orogen, and by what mechanism, remain debated ...

Seismic Evidence for Slab Tearing Beneath the Indo‐Myanmar Subduction Zone
Abstract Slab tearing has been increasingly recognized as a key geodynamic process influencing the evolution of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis. However, whether, where and how the subducted Indian slab beneath the Indo‐Myanmar subduction zone has been torn remains poorly constrained.

Abstract We performed a stress tensor inversion using focal mechanisms from intermediate‐depth and deep earthquakes to estimate the stress regime of the Pacific slab beneath southwestern Japan. We focused on the temporally averaged stress field derived from the recent 28‐year data set of the F‐net CMT solutions.
