Short-and long-term processes at or close to the subduction plate interface (eg, mineral
transformations, fluid release, seismicity and more generally deformation) might be more …

Deep-seated slow slip and tremor (SST), including slow slip events, episodic tremor and
slip, and low-frequency earthquakes, occur downdip of the seismogenic zone of numerous …

The interface between subducting oceanic slabs and the hanging wall is a structurally and
lithologically complex region. Chemically disparate lithologies (sedimentary, mafic and …

A new model of the subducted Juan de Fuca plate beneath western North America allows
first‐order correlations between the occurrence of Wadati‐Benioff zone earthquakes and …

Serpentinization is a key phenomenon for understanding the geodynamics of subduction
zones in the 10–200 km depth range. Serpentines are a major water carrier, and their …

In the Cascadia subduction zone, beneath southern Vancouver Island at 25–45 km depth,
converted teleseismic waves reveal an∼ 5-km-thick landward-dip** layer with …

Subduction of hydrated oceanic lithosphere can carry water deep into the Earth, with
consequences for a range of tectonic and magmatic processes. Most of the fluid is released …

High-resolution seismic imaging has previously revealed sudden changes in the dip of
subducted oceanic plates. This 'kinking'feature is crucial because in many subduction zones …

We find that in young and warm subducting plates, earthquakes occur just below the Moho.
In older plates, earthquakes occur throughout the subducting oceanic crust, as well as the …

Convergent margin volcanism originates with partial melting, primarily of the upper mantle,
into which the subducting slab descends,. Melting of this material can occur in one of two …
