During the past five decades, numerical modeling of subduction, one of the most
challenging and captivating geodynamic processes, remained in the core of geodynamic …

This hands-on introduction to numerical geodynamic modelling provides a solid grounding
in the necessary mathematical theory and techniques, including continuum mechanics and …

Scientific theories of how subduction and plate tectonics began on Earth—and what the
tectonic structure of Earth was before this—remain enigmatic and contentious …

Dynamic modeling of sequences of earthquakes and aseismic slip (SEAS) provides a self‐
consistent, physics‐based framework to connect, interpret, and predict diverse geophysical …

Numerical simulations of sequences of earthquakes and aseismic slip (SEAS) have made
great progress over past decades to address important questions in earthquake physics …

Geodynamic modelling provides a powerful tool to investigate processes in the Earth's crust,
mantle, and core that are not directly observable. However, numerical models are inherently …

The underestimation of the size of recent megathrust earthquakes illustrates our limited
understanding of their spatiotemporal occurrence and governing physics. To unravel their …

The relative contribution of tectonic and kinematic processes to seismic behaviour of
mountain belts is still controversial. To understand the partitioning between these processes …

Slip accommodation in subduction zones ranges from aseismic slip phenomena to regular
megathrust earthquakes, and strongly depends on pore fluid pressure. We develop a new …

A supercycle describes a long-term cluster of differently-sized megathrust earthquakes,
leading up to the final complete failure of a subduction zone segment,. The precise controls …
