A general review of the sub-seafloor biosphere is presented. This includes an update and
assessment of prokaryotic cell distributions within marine sediments, current deepest 1922 …

The use of the Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) has become a rather common
practice in Earth Sciences since the pioneer note by Graham. The versatility of the …

The third edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to
all aspects of global tectonics, and includes major revisions to reflect the most significant …

Along plate boundary subduction thrusts, the transformation of smectite to illite within fault
gouge at temperatures of∼ 150° C is one of the key mineralogical changes thought to …

The location of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program's (IODP) Nankai Trough Seismogenic
Zone Experiment (NanTroSEIZE) was based on regional two-dimensional seismic reflection …

Pore fluid pressure is a key parameter governing both the shear strength of faults and the
conditions for seismic and tsunamigenic slip on subduction zone megathrusts. However …

Gas hydrate in continental margins is commonly indicated by a prominent bottom-simulating
seismic reflector (BSR) that occurs a few hundred metres below the seabed. The BSR marks …

We show that both fault mineralogy and regional excess fluid pressure contribute to low
resolved shear stresses on the Nankai subduction plate boundary off southwest Japan. Ring …

Summary Diversity of Bacteria and Archaea was studied in deep marine sediments by PCR
amplification and sequence analysis of 16S rRNA and methyl co‐enzyme M reductase …

Deep within the Nankai Trough subduction zone the plate-boundary thrust slips along a well-
imaged megasplay fault system during the megathrust earthquakes that regularly strike …
