A pressure solution flow law for the seismogenic zone: Application to Cascadia. [PDF]
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.

Abstract Relative plate motion in subduction zones transitions from frictional slip to viscous flow with increasing depth and temperature. The frictional‐viscous transition can control the depth extent of megathrust earthquakes and episodic tremor and slip (ETS).

Characterisation of the 2D and 3D density and connectivity attributes of fracture systems in carbonate reservoir analogues: implications for fluid flow [PDF]
Fault zones, hosted in fractured carbonate reservoirs, can behave as either high porosity and permeability conduits, favoring the migration of fluids; or, conversely, as low porosity and permeability barriers, retarding fluid flow, due to the presence of

Coseismic landslides have the potential to cause catastrophic disasters. Thus, it is of crucial importance to conduct a comprehensive regional assessment of susceptibility to coseismic landslides.

Aerial and Space‐Borne Seismology on Venus: Viability and Design Implications for Future Missions
Abstract Venus' evolution remains a mystery because of the lack of in situ geophysical data to constrain its interior structure. Recently‐selected planetary missions VERITAS (NASA), DAVINCI+ (NASA), and EnVision (ESA) will investigate the planet's interior, surface, and atmospheric chemistry.

Grain Size and Fluid Effects on the Frictional Behavior of Simulated Carbonate Fault Gouge
Abstract Carbonate rocks exhibit a span of clast and grain size in fault zones. However, the effect of grain size distribution on the frictional behavior of carbonate faults and its implications for natural and induced seismicity remain poorly understood.

Evidence for seismogenic fracture of silicic magma
It has long been assumed that seismogenic faulting is confined to cool, brittle rocks, with a temperature upper limit of 600 °C (ref. 1). This thinking underpins our understanding of volcanic earthquakes, which are assumed to occur in cold rocks ...

Fault slip-rate variations during crustal-scale strain localisation, central Italy
Rates of plate motion are generally uniform over 10–102 Myrs timescales. Faults between tectonic plates might, therefore, be expected to show temporally-uniform slip-rates if the same number of faults remain active. For an extending region of the Eurasia-

Potential Seismogenic Faults in Norway [PDF]
Identification of seismogenic potential of faults in an area is crucial in the assessment of earthquake hazard. One of the most challenging tasks in seismotectonic analysis that leads to the identification of the seismogenic potential of earthquake ...

Focussing on Proto-Seismogenic Zone of erosional Convergent Margin
Great earthquakes in subduction zones occur after stable slip in the proto-seismogenic zone transitions to the unstable slip that characterizes seismogenic zones. Subducted material input to seismogenic zones affects this transition.
