Deep-seated slow slip and tremor (SST), including slow slip events, episodic tremor and
slip, and low-frequency earthquakes, occur downdip of the seismogenic zone of numerous …

Because quartz veins are common in fault zones exhumed from earthquake nucleation
temperatures (150° C–350° C), quartz cementation may be an important mechanism of …

Whether orogenic gold deposits formed from crustal or subcrustal sources is debated, and
their link to orogenic processes is ambiguous. Gold mineralization in the Triassic East …

Aseismic megathrust slip downdip of the seismogenic zone is accommodated by either
steady creep or episodic slow slip events (SSEs). However, the geological conditions …

Geophysical observations indicate that patches of localized fracturing occur within otherwise
viscous regions of subduction plate boundaries. These observations place uncertainty on …

Whether auriferous hydrothermal fluid is generated during crustal metamorphism or by
subcrustal processes to form orogenic gold deposits is hotly debated. Noble gas isotope and …

Geophysical and geological studies provide evidence for cyclic changes in fault‐zone pore
fluid pressure that synchronize with or at least modulate slip events. A hypothesized …

In several examples of subduction zones, we compared pairs of quartz veins formed either
at the lower temperatures of the seismogenic zone (260° C or below), or at the higher …

Fluid overpressure from the water released by subducted sediments and oceanic crust is an
important mechanism for generating earthquakes via brittle failure and frictional instability. If …

Slow slip phenomena deep in subduction zones reveal cyclic processes downdip of locked
megathrusts. Here we analyze seismicity within a subducting oceanic slab, spanning~ 50 …
