Hydrogeology and mechanics of subduction zone forearcs: Fluid flow and pore pressure

DM Saffer, HJ Tobin - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary …, 2011 - annualreviews.org

interconnected. Excess pore pressure is driven by tectonic loading and fluids released by …

Significance of mud volcanism

AJ Kopf - Reviews of geophysics, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Mud volcanism and diapirism have puzzled geoscientists for∼ 2 centuries. They have been
described onshore and offshore in many places on Earth, and although they occur in various …

[图书][B] Seabed fluid flow: the impact on geology, biology and the marine environment

A Judd, M Hovland - 2009 - books.google.com
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 …

Comparison of smectite-and illite-rich gouge frictional properties: application to the updip limit of the seismogenic zone along subduction megathrusts

DM Saffer, C Marone - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2003 - Elsevier
Along plate boundary subduction thrusts, the transformation of smectite to illite within fault
gouge at temperatures of∼ 150° C is one of the key mineralogical changes thought to …

Updip limit of the seismogenic zone beneath the accretionary prism of southwest Japan: An effect of diagenetic to low-grade metamorphic processes and increasing …

JC Moore, D Saffer - Geology, 2001 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Off southwest Japan the seaward limit of coseismic displacement (or updip limit of the
seismogenic zone) of the 1946 Mw 8.3 thrust earthquake reaches to 4 km depth and∼ 40 …

Subduction fluxes of water, carbon dioxide, chlorine, and potassium

RD Jarrard - Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
The alteration of upper oceanic crust entails growth of hydrous minerals and loss of
macroporosity, with associated large‐scale fluxes of H2O, CO2, Cl−, and K2O between …

Mechanical and hydrological effects of seamount subduction on megathrust stress and slip

T Sun, D Saffer, S Ellis - Nature Geoscience, 2020 - nature.com
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 …

Elevated fluid pressure and extreme mechanical weakness of a plate boundary thrust, Nankai Trough subduction zone

HJ Tobin, DM Saffer - Geology, 2009 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
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 …

Compositional and fluid pressure controls on the state of stress on the Nankai subduction thrust: A weak plate boundary

KM Brown, A Kopf, MB Underwood… - Earth and Planetary …, 2003 - Elsevier
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 …
