T emperature and shear stress are two influential variables that affect faulting and seismicity in subduction zones, where tectonic plates converge. Yet because earthquakes originate tens of ...

and the deformation of the plate beneath Vancouver Island may simply provide the additional stress that triggers seismicity here. Calvert, A.J., Seismic reflection imaging of two megathrust shear ...

subduction zones, and earthquakes. I am interested in the properties of the Earth’s crust and mantle, the nature of lithospheric deformation, and the causes and consequences of induced seismicity. My ...

Megathrust earthquakes occur when stress at subduction zones is released, causing significant plate slippage. These events disrupt long-term tectonic changes, complicating modeling efforts.

A record-breaking deep earthquake registered in May 2015 offshore of Japan likely was not a tectonic event but triggered by a ...

A re-examination of the 2015 Bonin Islands earthquake disproved earlier claims of a record-breaking deep aftershock in the ...

The magnitude 7.9 Bonin Islands earthquake sequence in May 2015, which ruptured deep within the earth near the base of the upper mantle, did not include an aftershock that extended to record depths ...
