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 …

The largest tectonic relief breaking the Earth's surface (13 km vertically) is at the subduction
margin of the Andes, which generates routinely megathrust earthquakes (Mw> 8.5) and …

After more than 100 years of earthquake research, earthquake forecasting, which relies on
knowledge of past fault rupture patterns, has become the foundation for societal defense …

Continuously recording Global Positioning System stations near the 28 March 2005 rupture
of the Sunda megathrust [moment magnitude (M w) 8.7] show that the earthquake triggered …

The recent expansion of dense GPS networks over plate boundaries allows for remarkably
precise map** of interseismic coupling along active faults. The interseismic coupling …

Subduction zone megathrust faults host Earth's largest earthquakes, along with multitudes of
smaller events that contribute to plate convergence. An understanding of the faulting …

The Maule earthquake of 27th February 2010 (Mw= 8.8) affected~ 500km of the Nazca-
South America plate boundary in south-central Chile producing spectacular crustal …

We use about two decades of geodetic measurements to characterize interseismic strain
build up along the Central Andes subduction zone from Lima, Peru, to Antofagasta, Chile …

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

Geophysical and geological observations document that beneath the submerged forearc,
processes of sediment subduction and subduction erosion move large volumes of material …
