Streak and hierarchical structures of the Tohoku–Hokkaido subduction zone plate boundary by Takashi Okuda, Satoshi Ide

“…It is likely that many streak structures have developed over a 1000 km along-strike section of the plate interface that extends from the Kushiro-Oki region to the Naka-Oki region of the subduction zone. These patches may be distributed hierarchically, with the smaller patches rupturing independently. …”

Uncovering and quantifying the subduction zone sulfur cycle from the slab perspective by Ji-Lei Li, Esther M. Schwarzenbach, Timm John, Jay J. Ague, Fang Huang, Jun Gao, Reiner Klemd, Martin J. Whitehouse, Xin-Shui Wang

“…Sulfur is one of the key volatiles in Earth’s chemical cycles; however, sulfur speciation, isotopic composition, and flux during the subduction cycle remain unclear. Here, the authors provide direct constraints on subduction zone sulfur recycling from high-pressure rocks and explore implications for arc magmatism.…”

Impact of Solid Hydrocarbon on the Composition of Fluid Phase at the Subduction (Experimental Simulation) by Anatoly Tomilenko, Valeriy Sonin, Taras Bul’bak, Egor Zhimulev, Tatiana Timina, Aleksey Chepurov, Elena Shaparenko, Anatoly Chepurov

“…Therefore, a biogenic material with a carbon–hydrogen composition can make a certain contribution to the carbon budget in subduction processes when falling into the subduction zones and may affect the oxygen fugitivity in the subducted slab.…”

Shallow Tectonic Stress Magnitudes at the Hikurangi Subduction Margin, New Zealand by E. Behboudi, D. D. McNamara, I. Lokmer

“…Abstract Quantifying tectonic stress magnitudes is crucial in understanding crustal deformation processes, fault geomechanics, and variable plate interface slip behaviors in subduction zones. The Hikurangi Subduction Margin (HSM), New Zealand, is characterized by along‐strike variation in interface slip behavior, which may be linked to tectonic stress variations within the overriding plate. …”

Accurate Relative Earthquake Hypocenters Reveal Structure of the Burma Subduction Zone by Stork, A, Selby, N, Heyburn, R, Searle, M

“…The Burma arc links the Himalaya to the Andaman-Sumatra trench, and comprehension of the geological features in the region is vital to understand the active tectonic processes in the area. Subduction on the Sumatra trench produced the devastating 2004 Sumatra earthquake (Mw ∼9:0), but the mechanisms accommodating relative India-Sundaland motion in Burma are still unknown. …”
