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 …

We present a review of the analogue modelling method, which has been used for 200 years,
and continues to be used, to investigate geological phenomena and geodynamic processes …

Despite the growing spatiotemporal density of geophysical observations at subduction
zones, predicting the timing and size of future earthquakes remains a challenge. Here we …

During the past five decades, numerical modeling of subduction, one of the most
challenging and captivating geodynamic processes, remained in the core of geodynamic …

The underestimation of the size of recent megathrust earthquakes illustrates our limited
understanding of their spatiotemporal occurrence and governing physics. To unravel their …

Analog, or physical, models have been used to investigate problems in structural geology
and tectonics for over two centuries. Together with field observations and theoretical …

Historical and paleoseismic records in south-central Chile indicate that giant earthquakes on
the subduction megathrust–such as in AD1960 (M w 9.5)–reoccur on average every∼ 300 …

A supercycle describes a long-term cluster of differently-sized megathrust earthquakes,
leading up to the final complete failure of a subduction zone segment,. The precise controls …

Earth deformation is a multi-scale process ranging from seconds (seismic deformation) to
millions of years (tectonic deformation). Bridging short-and long-term deformation and …

We present a 2‐D numerical modeling approach for simulating a wide slip spectrum in a
viscoelastoplastic continuum. The key new model component is an invariant reformulation of …
