Characteristics of cold seeps at different geologic settings are the subject of this review
primarily based on results of the Research Consortium SFB 574. Criteria are drawn from …

At subduction zones, fluid flow, pore pressure, and tectonic processes are tightly
interconnected. Excess pore pressure is driven by tectonic loading and fluids released by …

Earthquakes occur as a result of global plate motion. However, this simple picture is far from
complete. Some plate boundaries glide past each other smoothly, while others are …

The third edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to
all aspects of global tectonics, and includes major revisions to reflect the most significant …

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 …

Erosion by high stress abrasion of convergent margins from horsts and grabens on the
subducting plate is not shown in seismic images. In a proposed model, the frontal sediment …

Subduction of rough seafloor and seamounts is thought to impact a broad range of
geodynamic processes, including megathrust slip behaviour, forearc fluid flow and long-term …

The Hikurangi subduction margin, New Zealand, has not experienced any significant (> Mw
7.2) subduction interface earthquakes since historical records began∼ 170 years ago …

Pore fluid pressure is a key parameter governing both the shear strength of faults and the
conditions for seismic and tsunamigenic slip on subduction zone megathrusts. However …

We use the pore pressure distribution predicted from a waveform tomography (WT) velocity
model to interpret the evolution of the mega-splay fault system in the Nankai Trough off …
