New 2010 Maule Aftershock Catalog Reveals Structure of the Deep Subduction Interface
Abstract On 27 February 2010, a Mw 8.8 earthquake occurred near Maule in south‐central Chile. The subsequent rapid deployment of a dense network of seismic stations on land was able to capture the first year of its aftershock sequence. Here, we revisit this data set using picking Artificial Intelligence tools, a 3D velocity model of the region and ...

Abstract Despite millions of ship soundings, bathymetry from satellite derived gravity is still necessary to fill in approximately three quarters of the global oceans. The methods used to carry out this inference have not changed significantly since the 1990s; however new methodology involving Machine Learning (ML) improves the bathymetric predictions ...

Abstract We present array‐scale (∼500 × 500 km) anisotropic shear‐velocity models from two Pacific ocean‐bottom seismometer (OBS) arrays of the OBS Research in the Convecting Asthenosphere (ORCA) experiment: Young ORCA (∼43 Ma) and Old ORCA (∼90 Ma). Rayleigh‐wave phase velocities spanning 5–150 s are combined with Love‐wave phase velocities from 5 to ...

Preconditioning of Polynya Formation by Ocean Mixing at Maud Rise, Antarctica
Abstract Antarctic open‐ocean polynyas trigger vigorous wintertime convection, influencing ocean circulation and atmospheric processes. In the Weddell Sea, interaction between the Weddell Gyre and the Maud Rise seamount generates a Taylor column that favors polynya formation.

Despite a strong increase in research on seamounts and oceanic islands ecology and biogeography, many basic aspects of their biodiversity are still unknown. In the southwestern Atlantic, the Vitória-Trindade Seamount Chain (VTC) extends ca.

Abstract Volcanic islands are prone to flank instabilities that can generate tsunamis even when mobilized volumes are moderate. This study investigates submarine collapses during the 2011–2012 eruption south of El Hierro, which built the Tagoro submarine volcano.

Seamount subduction and accretion in West Junggar, NW China: A review
Seamounts are prominent seafloor features that make inhomogeneous oceanic crust, carried by some moving plates and eventually accreted or subducted at convergent margins.

Abstract The accurate computation of pressure gradients in ocean models is essential for simulating ocean and climate processes. Inaccurate computation can result in spurious velocities on the order of real ocean flows, particularly in quiescent ice shelf cavities.
