SHIRE Expedition Updates
Our team of researchers working on SHIRE (Seismogenesis at Hikurangi Integrated Research Experiment) have begun their expedition offshore of New Zealand. They are investigating 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 […]
