Journal ArticleDOI
A mechanism for the formation of methane hydrate and seafloor bottom‐simulating reflectors by vertical fluid expulsion
Roy D. Hyndman,Earl E. Davis +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model in which bottom-simulating reflectors (BSR) hydrate layers are formed through the removal of methane from upward moving pore fluids as they pass into the hydrate stability field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrothermal recharge and discharge across 50 km guided by seamounts on a young ridge flank.
Andrew T. Fisher,Earl E. Davis,M. Hutnak,Volkhard Spiess,Lars Zühlsdorff,A. Cherkaoui,L. Christiansen,K. M. Edwards,Robie W. Macdonald,Heinrich Villinger,Michael J. Mottl,C. G. Wheat,Keir Becker +12 more
TL;DR: Results of swath mapping, heat flow, geochemistry and seismic surveys from the young eastern flank of the Juan de Fuca ridge show that isolated basement outcrops penetrating through thick sediments guide hydrothermal discharge and recharge between sites separated by more than 50 km.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recurring and triggered slow-slip events near the trench at the Nankai Trough subduction megathrust
Eiichiro Araki,Demian M. Saffer,Achim J Kopf,Laura M. Wallace,Laura M. Wallace,Toshinori Kimura,Yuya Machida,Satoshi Ide,Earl E. Davis,Iodp Expedition Scientists +9 more
TL;DR: A family of recurring slow-slip events (SSEs) on the plate interface immediately seaward of repeated historical moment magnitude (Mw) 8 earthquake rupture areas offshore of Japan appear to occur regularly, indicating frequent release of accumulated strain near the trench.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rates of fluid expulsion across the Northern Cascadia Accretionary Prism: Constraints from new heat row and multichannel seismic reflection data
TL;DR: One hundred and ten closely spaced probe heat flow measurements provided new constraints on the thermal regime of the northern Cascadia accretionary sedimentary prism off Vancouver Island as mentioned in this paper, which was interpreted to mark the thermally controlled base of a methane hydrate layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accretion and recent deformation of sediments along the northern Cascadia subduction zone
Earl E. Davis,Roy D. Hyndman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the surface morphology, cross-sectional geometry, and deformation style of this part of the Cascadia accretionary prism were analyzed using multichannel seismic reflection profiles, acoustic imagery and swath bathymetric data from the Vancouver Island continental margin.
