Strength of stick-slip and creeping subduction megathrusts from heat flow observations
X Gao, K Wang - Science, 2014 - science.org
Subduction faults, called megathrusts, can generate large and hazardous earthquakes. The
mode of slip and seismicity of a megathrust is controlled by the structural complexity of the …
