Plate Puzzle [PDF]

This activity was designed to help students develop a better understanding of the Earth's plates and their distribution. They will explore plate motions and the interactions of the plates along the plate boundaries by re-assembling a map of the earth ...

Probabilistic enhancement of the Failure Forecast Method using a stochastic differential equation and application to volcanic eruption forecasts

, 2018
We introduce a doubly stochastic method for performing material failure theory based forecasts of volcanic eruptions. The method enhances the well known Failure Forecast Method equation, introducing a new formulation similar to the Hull-White model in ...

Crustal anisotropy from tectonic tremor under Washington State in the Cascadia

Geophysical Research Letters, 2015
AbstractWe present new observations of crustal shear wave anisotropy extracted from nonvolcanic tremor in Cascadia under Washington State. Measurements of crustal anisotropy are extremely sparse and limited in this area mainly due to low level of seismicity.

Tidal correlation of deep tectonic tremors increases during long-term slow slip events in the Bungo Channel, southwest Japan

Earth, Planets and Space
In the Bungo Channel along the Nankai Trough, southwest Japan, long-term slow slip events (LSSEs) of about $${M}_{\text{w}}$$ M w 6–7 and lasting 6–12 months occur at several-year intervals at the base of the seismogenic zone.

Non-monotonicity of the frictional bimaterial effect

, 2017
Sliding along frictional interfaces separating dissimilar elastic materials is qualitatively different from sliding along interfaces separating identical materials due to the existence of an elastodynamic coupling between interfacial slip and normal ...

Geophysical Constraints on the Relationship Between Seamount Subduction, Slow Slip, and Tremor at the North Hikurangi Subduction Zone, New Zealand

Geophysical Research Letters, 2018
We use a prestack depth migration reflection image and magnetic anomaly data across the northern Hikurangi subduction zone, New Zealand, to constrain plate boundary structure and geometry of a subducting seamount in a region of shallow slow slip and ...

A new fault lineament in Southern California [PDF]

ERTS-1 imagery clearly shows a 50-mile wide tectonic zone across Southern California oriented about 15 deg to the structures of the Transverse Ranges or with an azimuth of 70 deg.

The Life and Death of a Tectonic Plate: Imaging the Juan de Fuca Plate with Amphibious Seismic Data [PDF]

, 2019
Understanding of Earth’s evolution has been hindered, in part, by the technical challenges associated with placing seismic instruments on the seafloor. As technology improves, more arrays of ocean bottom seismometers are being deployed around the ocean ...

Structural control on the shallow tremor distribution linked to seamount subduction: insights from high-resolution seismic imaging in Hyuga-nada

Earth, Planets and Space
Tectonic tremors occur around the subducting seamount of the Kyushu Palau Ridge (KPR) in Hyuga-nada, Japan. We investigate the relationship between tremor activity and structural and physical characteristics using high-resolution reflection seismic ...
