The 11-month precursory fault activation of the 2019 ML 5.6 earthquake in the Weiyuan shale gas field, China
Anthropogenic activities such as hydraulic fracturing (HF) can trigger destructive earthquakes, the triggering mechanisms of which are still in deb…
Gravitational stability of iron-rich peridotite melt at Mars’ core-mantle boundary
Possible existence of dense iron-rich silicate melt layer above Mars’ core is important in understanding the nature and evolution of Mars. Howeve…
Fault–fracture mesh development produces tectonic tremor in fluid-overpressured serpentinized mantle wedge
Deep tectonic tremor occurs repeatedly at the base of a forearc mantle wedge corner, where a highly fluid-pressurized serpentinite shear zone is th…
Low-velocity anomaly in the Coral Sea associated with subducting slabs and the Woodlark rift
Classical plume models offer insights into intraplate volcanism and seamount chain formation by assuming a cylindrical upwelling of hot materials f…
