The role of elasticity in slab bending

pp 4507-4525

DOI: 10.1002/2014GC005535

Loic Fourel, Saskia Goes, Gabriele Morra


Keypoints: 

Derivation of a scaling law between viscoelastic slabs geometry and rheology

Elastically stored energy favors retreating modes via unbending

Segmentation of plate coupling, fate of subduction fluids, and modes of arc magmatism in Cascadia, inferred from magnetotelluric resistivity

pp 4230-4253

DOI: 10.1002/2014GC005509

P. E. Wannamaker, R. Evans, P. A. Bedrosian, M. J. Unsworth, V. Maris, R. S. McGary


Keypoints: 

Higher resistivity with increased coastal plate coupling implies lesser fluid

Low-resistivity fluid coincides with eclogitization and slow-slip earthquakes

Resistivity structure of arc melt source reflects slab inputs and state of stress

pp 3849-3889

DOI: 10.1002/2014GC005407

C. Kreemer, G. Blewitt, E. C. Klein


Keypoints: 

A data set of ~22,500 horizontal geodetic velocities is compiled

Geodetic plate motions for 36 plates are estimated

A new velocity gradient tensor field for plate boundary zones is modeled

The magnitude distribution of dynamically triggered earthquakes

pp 3688-3697

DOI: 10.1002/2014GC005404

Stephen Hernandez, Emily E. Brodsky, Nicholas J. van der Elst


Keypoint: 

Magnitude distributions of triggered and untriggered small quakes are indistinguishable

A family of repeating low-frequency earthquakes at the downdip edge of tremor and slip

pp 3713-3721

DOI: 10.1002/2014GC0054049

Justin R. Sweet, Kenneth C. Creager, Heidi Houston


Keypoints: 

The 9000 low‐frequency earthquakes mostly locate within a circle of 300 m radius. 

LFEs cluster into swarms during which amplitudes systematically increase. 

Observed LFE moments yield only up to 20% of predicted slip.
