The thermal structure of subduction zones is fundamental to our understanding of the
physical and chemical processes that occur at active convergent plate margins. These …

Deep earthquakes behave like shallow earthquakes but must have fundamentally different
physical processes. Their rupture behaviors, magnitude-frequency statistics, and aftershocks …

Antigorite is the high‐temperature member of the serpentine group minerals and is broadly
considered a primary carrier of water in the subducting oceanic lithosphere. It has a wavy …

The Java subduction zone is located in the southern part of Southeast Asia, where the
strong plate convergence results in clustered arc volcanoes and intense seismicity. To better …

The existence of subcrustal continental earthquakes beneath the Alpine–Himalayan Belt
was recognised more than 60 years ago. There is general agreement that most of those …

Earthquake moment tensors in eastern Pacific (ePac) slabs typically show downdip
tensional (DT) axes, whereas in the western Pacific (wPac), they typically show downdip …

Intermediate-depth earthquakes occur at temperatures and pressures thought to prohibit
brittle fracture and are deficient in aftershocks compared to shallow earthquakes. We search …

The initiation of intraslab earthquakes and their location depend on multiple factors such as
slab heterogeneity, pre-subduction anisotropy, thermal parameters and the metamorphic …

This study focuses on the empirical assessment of the control period TC for intermediate-
depth earthquakes. A ground motion database of about 700 recordings from 25 intermediate …

Constraining the mechanism of earthquakes in subduction zones requires adequate
estimates of source location and near‐source elastic properties. In this study, we propose a …
