Coastal subsidence contributes to relative sea-level rise and exacerbates flooding hazards,
with the at-risk population expected to triple by 2070. Natural processes of vertical land …

Short-and long-term processes at or close to the subduction plate interface (eg, mineral
transformations, fluid release, seismicity and more generally deformation) might be more …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

In the 1970s, the Shumagin Islands region of the Alaska subduction zone was identified as a
seismic gap expected to host a future great [moment magnitude (M w)≥ 8.0] earthquake …

Over million years, convergence between the Nazca and South America tectonic plates
results in Andean orogeny. Over decades/centuries, it fuels the earthquake cycle of the …

Following great subduction earthquakes, postseismic deformation of coastal areas shows
consistent seaward motion but complex vertical deformation. Understanding both the …

Subduction megathrusts develop the largest earthquakes, often close to large population
centers. Understanding the dynamics of deformation at subduction zones is therefore …

The strength of the lithosphere controls tectonic evolution and seismic cycles, but how rocks
deform under stress in their natural settings is usually unclear. We constrain the rheological …

The very early phase of postseismic deformation spanning the first few hours is difficult to
capture using daily Global Positioning System (GPS) and interferometric synthetic aperture …

The distribution of slip during subduction megathrust earthquakes depends on the slip deficit
that accumulates on the plate interface prior to the event. We develop 3‐D finite element …
