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 …

Megathrusts, faults at the plate interface in subduction zones, exhibit substantial
spatiotemporal variability in their slip behaviour. Many previous attempts to discern the …

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 …

Three‐dimensional seismic velocity structure in and around the Philippine Sea plate
subducting beneath southwestern (SW) Japan is determined by applying double‐difference …

Many characteristics of the incoming oceanic lithosphere, such as its age, rigidity, fabric
orientation or sediment thickness, are often cited as important properties controlling the …

Episodic tremor and accompanying slow slip, together called ETS, is most often observed in
subduction zones of young and warm subducting slabs,,. ETS should help us to understand …

We carry out high‐resolution three‐dimensional seismic tomography of the crust and upper
mantle beneath southwestern (SW) Japan using arrival‐time data obtained from the …

Abstract In July 2020, a Mw 7.8 earthquake initiated directly to the east of Simeonof Island
offshore of the Alaska Peninsula. The earthquake ruptured the eastern part of the Shumagin …

Episodic tremor and slip (ETS) events in subduction zones occur in the general vicinity of the
plate boundary, downdip of the locked zone. In develo** an understanding of the ETS …

Seismic evidence of lithospheric slab segmentation, dehydration, and anisotropic rocks
beneath the Kii Peninsula, central Japan, is detected with receiver function (RF) analyses …
