New thermal‐petrologic models of subduction zones are used to test the hypothesis that
intermediate‐depth intraslab earthquakes are linked to metamorphic dehydration reactions …

More than a decade after the discovery of deep episodic slow slip and tremor, or slow
earthquakes, at subduction zones, much research has been carried out to investigate the …

A wide range of geophysical and geological data indicate that extensive serpentinization in
the forearc mantle is both expected and observed. Large volumes of aqueous fluids must be …

DECIPHERING the geological evolution of the Earth's continental crust requires knowledge
of its bulk composition and global variability. The main uncertainties are associated with the …

We implement a method to invert jointly teleseismic P-wave receiver functions and surface
wave group and phase velocities for a mutually consistent estimate of earth structure …

The Moho in subduction zones exists in two distinct forms, one associated with the
subducting oceanic plate and second with the overriding plate. The seismic expression of …

Subduction thrust faults generate earthquakes over a limited depth range. They are aseismic
in their seaward updip portions and landward downdip of a critical point. The seaward …

This study examines thermal and structural controls of the updip and downdip rupture limits
of great subduction thrust earthquakes. Data on past great earthquake seismic limits have …

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 …

An important but poorly known part of the earthquake hazard at near‐coastal cities of
western North America from southern British Columbia to northern California is from great …
