DOI: 10.1016/j.earscirev.2021.103720
Abstract: Abstract An increasing number of seismological studies report transient seismicity clusters in the mantle wedge several kilometers above the subduction interface. Their physical significance with respect to subduction zone seismo-tectonics remains poorly understood. Jadeitites are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.soildyn.2018.03.024
Abstract: Abstract Ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) for earthquakes that occur in subduction zones, including both interface and slab parts, have a major impact on seismic hazard analysis in many parts of the world. For example,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gji/ggaa409
Abstract: The behaviour of tsunami waves at any location depends on the local morphology of the coasts, the encountered bathymetric features, and the characteristics of the source. However, the importance of accurately modelling the geometric properties… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jmg.12570
Abstract: The physical and mechanical processes rooted in the hydrated, serpentinized mantle above subduction zones remain insufficiently explored despite fundamental implications for our understanding of rheology and fluid recycling along subduction interfaces. Through a field‐based investigation,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/ges02037.1
Abstract: We use structural and microstructural observations from exhumed subduction-related rocks exposed on Syros Island (Cyclades, Greece) to provide constraints on the length scales and types of heterogeneities that occupy the deep subduction interface, with possible… read more here.
