Slow slip events (SSEs) accommodate a significant proportion of tectonic plate motion at
subduction zones, yet little is known about the faults that actually host them. The shallow …

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 …

Frictional instabilities along tectonic faults produce a full spectrum of slip behaviors including
aseismic creep, slow earthquakes, and regular earthquakes. Thermally controlled rock …

Fault slip speeds range from steady plate boundary creep through to earthquake slip.
Geological descriptions of faults range from localized displacement on one or more discrete …

Slow slip events (SSEs) have been identified at subduction zones globally as an important
link in the continuum between elastodynamic ruptures and stable creep. The northern …

Subduction megathrusts exhibit a range of slip behaviors spanning from large earthquakes
to aseismic creep, yet what controls spatial variations in the dominant slip mechanism …

Many described subduction complexes (or mélanges) exhumed from seismogenic depths
comprise thick, turbidite‐dominated sequences with deformed zones containing clasts or …

Exhumed subduction zones frequently show widespread actinolite-chlorite (Act-Chl)
dominated compositions, suggesting that this may play an important role in controlling …

The strength properties of fault rocks at shearing rates spanning the transition from crystal–
plastic flow to frictional slip play a central role in determining the distribution of crustal stress …

Abstract From California to British Columbia, the Pacific Northwest coast bears an
omnipresent earthquake and tsunami hazard from the Cascadia subduction zone. Multiple …
