Water, oceanic fracture zones and the lubrication of subducting plate boundaries - insights from seismicity [PDF]
, 2015 We investigate the relationship between subduction processes and related seismicity for the Lesser Antilles Arc using the Gutenberg-Richter law. This power lawdescribes the earthquakemagnitude distribution, with the gradient of the cumulative magnitude ...

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2021 The thermal structure of the continental subduction zone can be deduced from high-pressure and ultra-high-pressure rock samples or numerical simulation. However, petrological data indicate that the temperature of subducted continental plates is generally

A multiphase seismic investigation of the shallow subduction zone, southern North Island, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2001 The shallow structure of the Hikurangi margin, in particular the interface between the Australian Plate and the subducting Pacific Plate, is investigated using the traveltimes of direct and converted seismic phases from local earthquakes.

P and S Wave Anisotropic Tomography of the Banda Subduction Zone
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 In subduction zones with slab‐slab interactions, the pattern of mantle convection is very complex and still unclear. In this study, we jointly invert a large number of P and S wave arrival time data of local earthquakes for 3‐D isotropic and anisotropic ...

Horizontal mantle flow controls subduction dynamics [PDF]
, 2017 It is generally accepted that subduction is driven by downgoing-plate negative buoyancy. Yet plate age –the main control on buoyancy– exhibits little correlation with most of the present-day subduction velocities and slab dips. “West”-directed subduction

Slow Geodynamics and Fast Morphotectonics in the Far East Tethys
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 How can the sluggish, long‐wavelength mantle convection be expressed by so many time and space scales of morphotectonic activity? To investigate these relationships, we explore the Java‐Banda subduction zone, where geodynamic records cluster.

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The potential mechanisms that drive the behavior of subducted oceanic plates at the 660-km discontinuity are subject to debate. Here we conduct logistic regression analysis and model selection to determine the key subduction-zone parameters in natural ...

An aseismic slip pulse in northern Chile and along-strike variations in seismogenic behavior [PDF]
, 2006 We use interferometric synthetic aperture radar, GPS, and seismic observations spanning 5 to 18 years to reveal a detailed kinematic picture of the spatiotemporal evolution of fault slip in a region corresponding to the 30 July 1995 M_w 8.1 subduction ...

Juan de Fuca subduction zone from a mixture of tomography and waveform modeling [PDF]
, 2012 Seismic tomography images of the upper mantle structures beneath the Pacific Northwestern United States display a maze of high-velocity anomalies, many of which produce distorted waveforms evident in the USArray observations indicative of the Juan de ...
