At subduction zones, fluid flow, pore pressure, and tectonic processes are tightly
interconnected. Excess pore pressure is driven by tectonic loading and fluids released by …

First reported in the 1960s, offshore freshened groundwater (OFG) has now been
documented in most continental margins around the world. In this review we compile a …

Modern geodetic and seismologic observations describe the behavior of fault slip over a
vast range of spatial and temporal scales. Slip at sub-seismogenic speeds is evident from …

Subduction of rough seafloor and seamounts is thought to impact a broad range of
geodynamic processes, including megathrust slip behaviour, forearc fluid flow and long-term …

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 …

Microorganisms in marine subsurface sediments substantially contribute to global biomass.
Sediments warmer than 40° C account for roughly half the marine sediment volume, but the …

Seismological data provide evidence of a depth-dependent rupture behaviour of
earthquakes occurring at the megathrust fault of subduction zones, also known as …

Interseismic and coseismic slip on the subduction zone megathrust show complex along-
strike variations and the controlling factors remain debated. Here we image seismic velocity …

Tectonic plate motions predominantly result from a balance between the potential energy
change of the subducting slab and viscous dissipation in the mantle, bending lithosphere …

The 2015 Gorkha earthquake sequence provides an outstanding opportunity to better
characterize the geometry of the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT). To overcome limitations due …
