Geochemistry of continental subduction-zone fluids

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2014
The composition of continental subduction-zone fluids varies dramatically from dilute aqueous solutions at subsolidus conditions to hydrous silicate melts at supersolidus conditions, with variable concentrations of fluid-mobile incompatible trace ...

Evolving Subduction Zone Thermal Structure Drives Extensive Forearc Mantle Wedge Hydration

open access: yesAGU Advances
Hydration of the subduction zone forearc mantle wedge influences the downdip distribution of seismicity, the availability of fluids for arc magmatism, and Earth's long term water cycle.

Analysis of Stress Drop Variations in Fault and Subduction Zones of Maluku and Halmahera Earthquakes in 2019

open access: yesJurnal Penelitian Fisika dan Aplikasinya, 2019
The amount of stress released by an earthquake can be calculated with a stress drop, the stress ratio before and after an earthquake where the stress accumulated in a fault or a subduction zone is immediately released during an earthquake. The purpose of

Terrane Collision‐Induced Subduction Initiation: Mode Selection and Implications for Western Pacific Subduction System

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
In the regime of plate tectonics, the subduction of an oceanic plate generally terminates with the collision and accretion of continental terranes. Then, a new subduction zone may form in the neighboring oceanic plates, which is defined as the terrane ...

Subduction Zone Magmas

open access: yes, 2013
The importance of subduction zones, which are major sites of earthquakes, mountain building, and basalt–andesite–rhyolite volcanism, was nicely presented by Stern (Rev Geophys 40:1012, 2002): “Subduction zones are also our planet’s largest recycling system.

Numerical simulations of an ocean/continent convergent system: influence of subduction geometry and mantle wedge hydration on crustal recycling

open access: yes, 2009
The effects of the hydration mechanism on continental crust recycling are analyzed through a 2D finite element thermo-mechanical model. Oceanic slab dehydration and consequent mantle wedge hydration are implemented using a dynamic method.

Probabilistic Earthquake Hazard in Metropolitan Taipei and Its Surrounding Regions

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2010
The aim of this study is to evaluate the probability of seismic hazard for the Taipei metropolitan area in northern Taiwan from readily available information, including the attenuation relationship of peak ground acceleration (PGA), tectonic settings ...

The 25 October 2010 Mentawai tsunami earthquake (M_w 7.8) and the tsunami hazard presented by shallow megathrust ruptures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The 25 October 2010 Mentawai, Indonesia earthquake (M_w 7.8) ruptured the shallow portion of the subduction zone seaward of the Mentawai islands, off-shore of Sumatra, generating 3 to 9 m tsunami run-up along southwestern coasts of the Pagai Islands that
