Nicoya earthquake rupture anticipated by geodetic measurement of the locked plate interface
(Nature Research, 2013-12-22)
The Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica is one of the few places on Earth where the seismically active plate interface of a subduction zone is directly overlaid by land rather than ocean. At this plate interface, large megathrust ...
Monitoring transient changes within overpressured regions of subduction zones using ambient seismic noise
(American Association for the Advancement of Sciences (AAAS), 2016)
In subduction zones, elevated pore fluid pressure, generally linked to metamorphic dehydration reactions, has a profound influence on the mechanical behavior of the plate interface and forearc crust through its control on ...
