Accretionary prisms are wedges of saturated sediment that are subject to intense
deformation as a result of lithosphere convergence. Compressive stress and rapid burial of …

The imbricated frontal wedge of the central Hikurangi subduction margin is characteristic of
wide (ca. 150 km), poorly drained and over pressured, low taper (∼ 4°) thrust systems …

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 …

We show that both fault mineralogy and regional excess fluid pressure contribute to low
resolved shear stresses on the Nankai subduction plate boundary off southwest Japan. Ring …

The Nankai Trough accretionary prism is considered an “end‐member” prism accreting a
coarse terrigenous sediment section in a setting with structural simplicity, unparalleled …

Analysis of seismic reflection profiles, swath bathymetry, side‐scan sonar imagery, and
sediment samples reveal the three‐dimensional structure, morphology, and stratigraphic …

Subduction complexes provide an opportunity to examine the interactions of deformation
and fluid flow in an active setting. Ocean Drilling Program Leg 190 investigated the …

At subduction plate boundaries, strains accumulate within the overriding plate in response to
motion of the down‐going plate. To a first approximation, margin‐normal interplate slip and …

Three depth‐converted and geologically interpreted seismic profiles provide a clear image
of the offshore outer accretionary wedge associated with oblique subduction of the Pacific …

Geophysical observations show spatial and temporal variations in fault slip style on shallow
subduction thrust faults, but geological signatures and underlying deformation processes …
