At ocean margins where two plates converge, the oceanic plate sinks or is subducted
beneath an upper one topped by a layer of terrestrial crust. This crust is constructed of …

Accretionary prisms are composed of initially saturated sediments caught in subduction
zone tectonism. As sediments deform, fluid pressures rise and fluid is expelled, resembling a …

Seabed fluid flow involves the flow of gases and liquids through the seabed. Such fluids
have been found to leak through the seabed into the marine environment in seas and …

The Makran subduction zone of Iran and Pakistan exhibits strong variation in seismicity
between its eastern and western segments and has one of the world's largest forearcs. We …

Multichannel seismic reflection data have been analyzed from an area of clear bottom
simulating reflectors (BSRs) on the northern Cascadia subduction zone margin off …

Dry and brine-saturated clay aggregates ranging from pure smectite to pure kaolinite were
compacted in the laboratory. Experiments were conducted by increasing vertical effective …

Bottom‐simulating reflectors (BSR) are observed commonly at a depth of several hundred
meters below the seafloor in continental margin sedimentary sections that have undergone …

Makran is one of the largest accretionary wedges on the globe, formed by the convergence
between the Eurasian and the Arabian Plates. It is characterised by an extremely high …

Interest in groundwater and other subsurface fluids has increased in recent years.
Hydrogeologists and geologists are now actively exploring the role of subsurface fluids in …

Seismic reflection profiles across many continental margins have imaged bottom-simulating
reflectors (BSRs) parallel to the seabed; these are often interpreted as the base of a zone in …
