Background Research Team Project Components Field Work Data Background Subduction zones are settings where one plate slips beneath another along a subduction megathrust fault as it moves back into the mantle. Around the world subduction zones generate over 90% of the world’s seismic energy and produce the most powerful and destructive earthquakes and tsunamis. While… Continue Reading Hikurangi 3D

Navigation Background Research Team Project Components Field Work Background In project SHIRE (Seismogenesis at Hikurangi Integrated Research Experiment), we aim to rigorously investigate the feedbacks between plate interface slip behavior, solid and fluid mass fluxes, and manifestations of plate boundary mechanics in the long-term geological record that likely reflect common driving processes linking forearc uplift,… Continue Reading SHIRE
