Microscale cavitation as a mechanism for nucleating earthquakes at the base of the seismogenic zone [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Earthquakes frequently occur in the brittle-ductile transition near the base of the seismogenic zone. Using shear experiments on calcite faults, here the authors show that microscale cavitation plays a role in controlling the brittle-ductile transition ...

A pressure solution flow law for the seismogenic zone: Application to Cascadia. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2023 We develop a linear viscous constitutive relationship for pressure solution constrained by models of deformed metasedimentary rocks and observations of exposed rocks from ancient subduction zones. We include pressure and temperature dependence on the solubility of silica in fluid by parameterizing a practical van’t Hoff relationship.

Bathymetry of the Indonesian Sunda margin-relating morphological features of the upper plate slopes to the location and extent of the seismogenic zone [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2010 Earthquake history shows that the Sunda subduction zone of the Indonesian margin produces great earthquakes offshore Sumatra, whereas earthquakes of comparable magnitude are lacking offshore Java and the Lesser Sunda islands.

Forecasting the Largest Expected Earthquake in Canadian Seismogenic Zones. [PDF]
Entropy (Basel)Significant earthquakes can cause widespread infrastructure damage, social implications, and substantial economic losses. To mitigate these impacts, earthquake forecasting models have been developed to estimate earthquake occurrences and improve recovery efforts, with the Epidemic-Type Aftershock Sequence (ETAS) model being the most informative ...

Thermal models of the Mexico subduction zone: Implications for the megathrust seismogenic zone [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2002 It has been proposed that the seismogenic zone of subduction thrust faults is primarily controlled by temperature or rock composition changes. We have developed numerical models of the thermal structure of the Mexico subduction zone to examine the factors that affect the temperature of the subduction thrust fault. Although the oceanic plates subducting

NanTroSEIZE: The IODP Nankai Trough Seismogenic Zone Experiment [PDF]
Scientific Drilling, 2006 The IODP Nankai Trough Seismogenic Zone Experiment (NanTroSEIZE) will, for the fi rst time ever, attempt to drill into, sample, and instrument the seismogenic portion of a plate-boundary fault or megathrust within a subduction zone.

The First D/V Chikyu IODP Operations: Successful Logging and Coring During NanTroSEIZE Stage 1 Expeditions [PDF]
Scientific Drilling, 2008 The Nankai Trough Seismogenic Zone Experiment (NanTroSEIZE) is a multi-expedition IODP drilling project aimed at drilling, coring, logging, and instrumenting the seismogenic zone of an active subduction margin , in a region thought to generate megathrust
