Journal ArticleDOI
Do faults preserve a record of seismic slip: A second opinion
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the criteria for seismic slip defined by Cowan and determine that they are too narrow, and conclude that seismic slip at rates in the range 10−4−101 ǫm/s is almost certainly dynamic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and composition of the plate-boundary slip zone for the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake.

TL;DR: Observations from boreholes drilled by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 343 and 343T show a single major plate-boundary fault accommodated the large slip of the Tohoku-Oki earthquake rupture, as well as nearly all the cumulative interplate motion at the drill site.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-scale pseudotachylytes and fluidized cataclasites from an ancient subduction thrust fault
TL;DR: In this article, the pseudotachylyte was found to be composed of glass, with vesicles, amygdules, microlites, and flow structures, indicating a frictional melt.
Journal ArticleDOI
The thickness of subduction plate boundary faults from the seafloor into the seismogenic zone
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the thickness of subduction thrust faults from active and ancient examples observed by ocean drilling and fi eld studies in accretionary wedges and found that the total thickness encompassing all simultaneously active and anastomosing strands increases to ~100-350 m at 1-2 km below seafloor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disappearing ink: How pseudotachylytes are lost from the rock record
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify characteristics of pseudotachylytes that are resistant to change over geologic time and develop criteria to allow recognition of relict pseudoteachylyte.
