Abstract Melt migration in partially molten rocks is commonly described by porous flow models controlled by the hydro‐mechanical compaction length, which effectively explains melt extraction at mid‐ocean ridges. However, this framework cannot account for the paradoxical accumulation of small melt fractions into rhythmic leucosome–melanosome bands in ...

Geodetic Resolution of the Interplay Between Earthquakes and Slow Slip in the Hikurangi Margin
Abstract Interactions between slow slip and earthquakes remain poorly understood. We examine such an interaction in the central Hikurangi subduction zone where several moderate (Mw 4–5+) earthquakes occurred during a deep, 2‐year M7 slow slip event that started in 2021.

Autocorrelation Seismic Imaging of Northern Taiwan Using Ambient Noise Data
Abstract Over the past few million years, northern Taiwan records a tectonic history of subduction to arc–continent collision followed by post‐collisional collapse. This evolution motivates constraints on crustal structure, including crustal layering and thickness.

Abstract Natural hydrogen gas (H2) generated through the serpentinization of mantle rocks is a possible source of clean energy. For efficient serpentinization and large‐scale H2 generation to occur, mantle rocks need to be brought near the surface (exhumed) into a favorable temperature range (the serpentinization window) and in contact with water.
