Investigating Global Correlations Between Earthquake-generated Tsunamis and Subduction Zone Characteristics

Tektonika
Tsunamigenic earthquakes pose a large hazard in subduction zones, but it is currently unclear in which - if any - tectonic setting they preferentially occur.

Two-sided asymmetric subduction; implications for tectonomagmatic and metallogenic evolution of the Lut Block, Eastern Iran [PDF]

, 2011
West directed subduction zones show common characteristics, such as low structural elevation, deep trench, steep slab and a conjugate back-arc basin that are opposite to those of the east directed subduction zones.

Heterogeneous coupling of the Sumatran megathrust constrained by geodetic and paleogeodetic measurements [PDF]

, 2008
Geodetic and paleogeodetic measurements of interseismic strain above the Sumatran portion of the Sunda subduction zone reveal a heterogeneous pattern of coupling.

Origins of the Pangkaimen Au Deposit in the Northern Great Xing'an Range, China: Evidence From Geochronological, Geochemical, Fluid Inclusion, and H–O–S–Pb Isotope Data

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
The Pangkaimen Au–Ag deposits belong to the epithermal Au deposits, which are of great significance for guiding the research and development of this type of gold deposit. Metallogenic model diagram of Pangkaimen Au–Ag deposit. ABSTRACT The gold (Au) metallogenic belt in the northern Great Xing'an Range is characterised by the wide occurrence of the ...

Horizontally forced initiation of the Izu-Bonin-Mariana subduction zone

Communications Earth & Environment
The sparsity of a direct record for the moment of subduction zone initiation has led to various models describing the infancy and evolution of modern oceanic subduction systems.

Neogene plate tectonic reconstructions and geodynamics of North Island sedimentary basins: Implications for the petroleum systems [PDF]

, 2006
Although the modern Australia-Pacific plate boundary through New Zealand is relatively straight, there have been significant changes in its geometry during the Neogene. Within the North Island sector there has been a fundamental transition from an Alpine

Earthquake slip surfaces identified by biomarker thermal maturity within the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake fault zone. [PDF]

, 2020
Extreme slip at shallow depths on subduction zone faults is a primary contributor to tsunami generation by earthquakes. Improving earthquake and tsunami risk assessment requires understanding the material and structural conditions that favor earthquake ...

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 ...

Mesozoic–Cenozoic Thermochronology of the Tarim–Southern Tianshan System, NW China

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
Tectonothermal history of the Tarim–Southern Tianshan system compared with the major tectonic events at far‐field plate margins. ABSTRACT The Tarim Basin, an oil‐bearing basin in northwest China, is tectonically and sedimentologically linked to the Southern Tianshan Orogenic Belt.

Earth's rotation variability triggers explosive eruptions in subduction zones [PDF]

, 2015
The uneven Earth’s spinning has been reported to affect geological processes, i.e. tectonism, seismicity and volcanism, on a planetary scale. Here, we show that changes of the length of day (LOD) influence eruptive activity at subduction margins ...
