DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.70451
Abstract: Cold seeps are chemosynthesis‐based ecosystems powered by microbial primary production that support diverse and specialized faunal assemblages in the deep sea. Despite Nankai Trough in Japan being a geologically active margin hosting numerous seeps, much… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020jb019841
Abstract: The strength of subduction thrust faults is key to understanding seismogenesis at the provenance of Earth's largest earthquakes. Earthquake focal mechanisms are routinely inverted to constrain the stress state at seismogenic depths. However, on some… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-45781-0
Abstract: Recent seismic and geodetic observations in subduction zones have revealed that slow earthquakes have preceded some large earthquakes. Characterization of slow earthquakes and their relation to large earthquakes provides important clues to constrain a wide… read more here.
