Earthquakes track subduction fluids from slab source to mantle wedge sink
Halpaap, Felix; Rondenay, Stéphane; Perrin, Alexander; Goes, Saskia; Ottemöller, Lars; Austrheim, Håkon; Shaw, Robert; Eeken, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Subducting plates release fluids as they plunge into Earth’s mantle and occasionally rupture to produce intraslab earthquakes. It is debated whether fluids and earthquakes are directly related. By combining seismic ... -
Generation of intermediate-depth earthquakes and the fate of subduction fluids : Insights from mantle wedge seismicity and case studies in the Western Hellenic subduction zone
Halpaap, Felix (Doctoral thesis, 2019-06-07)The occurrence of intermediate depth earthquakes at 50-300 km depth in subduction zones is puzzling, because high temperatures and pressures at these depths do not allow standard brittle failure. Instead, two main candidate ... -
Seismicity, Deformation, and Metamorphism in the Western Hellenic Subduction Zone: New Constraints From Tomography
Halpaap, Felix; Rondenay, Stéphane; Ottemöller, Lars (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-02-23)The Western Hellenic Subduction Zone is characterized by a transition from oceanic to continental subduction. In the southern oceanic portion of the system, abundant seismicity reaches depths of 100 km to 190 km, while the ...
