Abstract: Abstract Fluid-rock interaction on oceanic transform faults (OTFs) is important for both the deformation behavior of the lithosphere and volatile cycling in the Earth. Rocks deformed and exhumed at OTFs preserve information about the depth… read more here.

Abstract: Oceanic transform faults are seismically and tectonically active plate boundaries1 that leave scars-known as fracture zones-on oceanic plates that can cross entire ocean basins2. Current descriptions of plate tectonics assume transform faults to be conservative… read more here.
