The 2010 Maule, Chile earthquake: Downdip rupture limit revealed by space geodesy (2010, background): “Even after 68 adjustment, the phase between neighboring tracks is sometimes discontinuous, as seen, 69 for example, at the southern end of the descending interferograms (see Figure 1b and 70 Figure S1b) where the fringes are denser in T422-sw4 than T420.”
A Wave Equation Migration Method for Receiver Function Imaging (2004, background): “Dipping structure is often regarded as a characteristic for a subduction zone area [Bostock et al., 2002; Ferris et al., 2003].”
Lateral variation in upper mantle viscosity: role of water (2004, positive): “, [96]) confirm that the source region for arc lavas (f 100 km depth) is anomalously wet (f 250 to 2500 ppm H2O) compared to mantle sources for MORB (f 50–450 ppm H2O [33,53,96–100] and OIB (f 400 to 1000 ppm H2O [89,100–105]).”
Subduction-zone magnetic anomalies and implications for hydrated forearc mantle (2005, background): “Although the Cascadia margin is warm relative to other subduction zones, thermal models (Bostock et al., 2002) indicate that most of the hydrated mantle wedge is at depths shallower than the Curie isotherm of magnetite.”
