The Cascadia Subduction Zone looks a little different than researchers thought. Here's what that means for 'The Big One' Although the hazards may be different, that does not mean the risk is less ...

As the most seismically active regions in the world, oceanic subduction zones show contrasting seismicity in different regions. A review by a team from Nanjing University explored the ...

Yixian Zheng has a long-standing interest in cell division and cytoskeleton. In recent years, her team's findings have broadened their research using animal models to include the study of stem cells, ...

Subduction zones occur where tectonic plates converge, and denser, underthrust lower plate materials are recycled to varied extents back into the Earth’s mantle. Modern subduction zones are associated ...

NEW DELHI: A recent study from scientists in Portugal has raised concerns about the future of the Atlantic Ocean. They have identified a subduction zone, known as the 'Ring of Fire', that could ...

A modeling study suggests a slumbering subduction zone below the Gibraltar Strait is active and could break into the Atlantic Ocean in 20 million years' time, giving birth to an Atlantic "Ring of ...

In a study published in PNAS, Prof. XIAO Yilin’s group from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) quantitatively determined, for the first ...

Our research presents a method that more accurately determines the quantitative composition of ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) fluid [high H 2 O (~40 wt.%) and solute (~60 wt.%) contents] released by a slab ...

Due to their low viscosity, high mobility, and high element contents, supercritical fluids are important agents in the cycling of elements. However, the chemical composition of supercritical fluids in ...

Researchers believe this fluid comes directly from the Cascadia Subduction Zone and helps control stress buildup between the two plates. | UW (University of Washington), Deborah Kelley/University of ...
