Shaking Up Earthquake Science in Cascadia
A new center will bring together earthquake scientists to study the Cascadia Subduction Zone and clarify seismic hazards.
Illuminating the Complex Structural Fabric Beneath the European Alps
A new study investigates the dynamics of the complex continental collision that formed the European Alps and reveals how structural alignments change with depth.
Fluid Release from Subducted Slabs Without Percolation Flow
A new study demonstrates the absorption mechanism of H2O release out of subducting slabs, making the previous hypothesis of dehydration embrittlement unnecessary.
Low-Frequency Quakes Have Modest Effect on Slow Earthquake Cycle
Slow slip phenomena on subdaily scales, captured by seismic and GNSS data, show that low-frequency earthquakes are incidental to larger magnitude slow earthquakes, in which aseismic slip dominates.
A New, Underground Atlas of Subduction Zones
Submap merges graphic design with geodynamics, providing a fast, free, and user-friendly resource to map subduction zones.
Talc May Make Mexico’s Subduction Zone More Slippery
Production of the weak, water-bearing mineral at the interface between the Cocos and North American Plates could contribute to the occurrence of poorly understood episodic tremor and slow slip.
Mounds of Ancient Ocean Floor May Be Hiding Deep in Earth
A mysterious seismic feature at the bottom of Earth’s mantle is more widespread than previously thought.
Are Low-Frequency Earthquakes Just Slow Slip?
Tests of seismic attenuation show fluid saturation and high pressure near a seismic source reduce high-frequency content, challenging the idea of slow slip as the cause of low-frequency earthquakes.
Bio-Argo Floats Reveal Phytoplankton Increase at Ocean Fronts
Bio-Argo floats and satellite altimeter data reveal that upwelling caused by confluent flow on the warm side of ocean fronts increases phytoplankton carbon and chlorophyll.
