Hydrogeology and mechanics of subduction zone forearcs: Fluid flow and pore pressure

DM Saffer, HJ Tobin - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary …, 2011 - annualreviews.org
At subduction zones, fluid flow, pore pressure, and tectonic processes are tightly
interconnected. Excess pore pressure is driven by tectonic loading and fluids released by …

Fluid and mass transfer at subduction interfaces—The field metamorphic record

GE Bebout, SC Penniston-Dorland - Lithos, 2016 - Elsevier
The interface between subducting oceanic slabs and the hanging wall is a structurally and
lithologically complex region. Chemically disparate lithologies (sedimentary, mafic and …

The global range of subduction zone thermal models

EM Syracuse, PE van Keken, GA Abers - Physics of the Earth and …, 2010 - Elsevier
We model 56 segments of subduction zones using kinematically defined slabs based on
updated geometries from Syracuse and Abers (2006) to obtain a comprehensive suite of …

Slow earthquakes and nonvolcanic tremor

GC Beroza, S Ide - Annual review of Earth and planetary …, 2011 - annualreviews.org
Nonvolcanic tremor is observed in close association with geodetically observed slow-slip
events in subduction zones. Accumulating evidence points to these events as members of a …

Tectonic significance of serpentinites

S Guillot, S Schwartz, B Reynard, P Agard, C Prigent - Tectonophysics, 2015 - Elsevier
At plate boundaries, where deformation is localized along centimetre-to kilometre-scale
shear zones, the influence of serpentinite on tectonic processes is linked to its unique …

Common depth of slab‐mantle decoupling: Reconciling diversity and uniformity of subduction zones

I Wada, K Wang - Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Processes in subduction zones such as slab and mantle‐wedge metamorphism, intraslab
earthquakes, and arc volcanism vary systematically with the age‐dependent thermal state of …

Invited review paper: Some outstanding issues in the study of great megathrust earthquakes—The Cascadia example

K Wang, AM Tréhu - Journal of Geodynamics, 2016 - Elsevier
Because of a combination of new observational tools and a flurry of large megathrust
earthquakes, tremendous progress has been made in recent years towards understanding …

Strength of stick-slip and cree** subduction megathrusts from heat flow observations

X Gao, K Wang - Science, 2014 - science.org
Subduction faults, called megathrusts, can generate large and hazardous earthquakes. The
mode of slip and seismicity of a megathrust is controlled by the structural complexity of the …

Serpentine in active subduction zones

B Reynard - Lithos, 2013 - Elsevier
Serpentinization is a key phenomenon for understanding the geodynamics of subduction
zones in the 10–200 km depth range. Serpentines are a major water carrier, and their …

Subduction of oceanic lithosphere in the Alps: Selective and archetypal from (slow-spreading) oceans

P Agard - Earth-Science Reviews, 2021 - Elsevier
