Layered Seismic Anisotropy and Tectonics of the Anatolian Plate
Abstract Anatolian tectonics are associated with slab retreat in the west and gravitational potential energy and continental collision in the east, leading to westward motion of Anatolia relative to Eurasia, partially accommodated on the North and East Anatolian transform faults.

Partial Ruptures, Cascading Multi‐Fault Ruptures, and Aftershocks in 2D Random Fault Network
Abstract The Gutenberg‐Richter law for the distribution of earthquake magnitude and the Omori law for the decay of aftershocks are two universal laws in seismicity. Although numerical models have been developed to reproduce these laws, they sometimes produce many more foreshocks and fewer aftershocks than observed.

Abstract The Southern Array for the Lithosphere and Uplift of Taiwan Experiment (SALUTE) provides a new window into the subduction‐collision transition zone in southern Taiwan, where the Eurasian Plate‐Luzon Arc convergence drives intense orogeny and crustal deformation. Using dense P‐ and S‐wave spectral amplitude data recorded by SALUTE and a quality

Rheology of the Earth's mantle and geodynamical processes
A non‐linear integral rheological model consistent with general creep theory and laboratory studies of rock creep is proposed to describe the rheology of the Earth's mantle. This model is universal, i.e., relevant to all strains, stresses and timescales. For constant stresses the model behaves like a power law non‐Newtonian fluid.

Penetration of Warm Slabs Across the 660 km Boundary: The Potential Role of Hydrous Stishovite
Abstract We investigate the phase boundary of hydrous/anhydrous post‐spinel transition at conditions relevant to the 660 km boundary. For the hydrous ringwoodite decomposition, the slope is found to range from negative to positive values depending on the distribution of water between the final products, namely, bridgmanite, periclase (mostly anhydrous)

Regional‐to‐Global Tectonic and Trench‐Morphology Effects of Oceanic Plateau Subduction
Abstract Regional geodynamic modeling has shown that oceanic plateau subduction can modify the slab behavior. However, few studies have explored these interactions beyond 100 Myr in 3‐D spherical models. Using 3‐D spherical mantle convection models with self‐consistent plate‐like behavior, we investigate how the geometry and rheological properties of ...
