Abstract: Because they provide information about the spatial distribution of brittle deformation, both seismologists and experimentalists use b-values to study earthquake populations. Here, we present the b-values for intermediate-depth intraslab earthquakes in the Pacific slab beneath… read more here.

DOI: 10.2138/am-2019-6805
Abstract: Abstract Antigorite dehydration experiments were performed under ambient pressure using a non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis. Antigorite, with a grain size of 5−10 μm, was analyzed using heating rates of 10, 15, 20, and 25 K/min at… read more here.
