A silent slip event on the deeper Cascadia subduction interface.

TL;DR: Continuous Global Positioning System sites in southwestern British Columbia, Canada, and northwestern Washington state, USA, have been moving landward as a result of the locked state of the Cascadia subduction fault offshore, and a cluster of seven sites briefly reversed their direction of motion in the summer of 1999.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seismic Consequences of Warm Versus Cool Subduction Metamorphism: Examples from Southwest and Northeast Japan

TL;DR: Thermal-petrologic models predict that oceanic crust subducting beneath southwest Japan is 300 degrees to 500 degrees C warmer than beneath northeast Japan, resulting in shallower eclogite transformation and slab dehydration reactions, and possible slab melting.
Journal ArticleDOI

Observation of a broad structure in the pi(+)pi(-)J/psi mass spectrum around 4.26 GeV/c(2)

Bernard Aubert, +634 more
TL;DR: Fits to the mass spectrum indicate that a broad resonance with a mass of about 4.26 GeV/c2 is required to describe the observed structure, and the presence of additional narrow resonances cannot be excluded.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermal constraints on the zone of major thrust earthquake failure: The Cascadia Subduction Zone

TL;DR: In this paper, a thermal model of the Cascadia subduction margin is used to estimate the temperature at the top of the oceanic crust at the deformation front and the transition stable sliding zone with a temperature of about 450°C.
Journal ArticleDOI

The updip and downdip limits to great subduction earthquakes: Thermal and structural models of Cascadia, south Alaska, SW Japan, and Chile

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined thermal and structural control of the updip and downdip rupture limits of great subduction thrust earthquakes and compared the predictions of several models for what constrains great earthquake rupture.
