TL;DR: It is proposed that aftershocks of large earthquakes in such geologic environments may be driven by the coseismic release of trapped, high-pressure fluids propagating through damaged zones created by the mainshock, which may provide a link between earthquakes, aftershock, crust/mantle degassing and earthquake-triggered large-scale fluid flow.

TL;DR: In this article, a benchmark comparison between various numerical codes (Eulerian and Lagrangian, Finite Element and Finite Difference, with and without markers) as well as a laboratory experiment is presented.

TL;DR: The volume of Archaean crust preserved at Earth's surface today is low. as mentioned in this paper showed that the thick, primary crust that would have formed on a much hotter Archaean Earth was denser than the underlying mantle, and would have therefore been recycled back into the mantle as drips.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a theoretical analysis that provides the physical conditions under which the sticky air approach is a valid approximation of a true free surface, and quantitatively compare topographies calculated by six different numerical codes (using finite difference and finite element techniques) using three different topography calculation methods: (i) direct calculation of topography from normal stress, (ii) body-fitting methods allowing for meshing the topography and (iii) Lagrangian tracking of the surface topography on an Eulerian grid.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on a model in which shear localization is initiated through shear heating and use linear Maxwell viscoelastic with von Mises plasticity and an exponential dependence of viscosity on temperature.
