Subducting seamounts control interplate coupling and seismic rupture in the 2014 iquique earthquake area... Marine seismic reflection and swath bathymetric data indicate that structural variations in the subducting Nazca Plate control regional-scale plate-coupling variations, and the limited extent of the 2014 earthquake....
Estimation of interplate coupling in the nankai trough, japan using gps data from 1996 to 2006We used three-component surface velocities in southwest Japan to estimate plate coupling on the subducting plate interface at the Nankai trough....
Adjoint-based estimation of plate coupling in a non-linear mantle flow model: theory and examples... As the plate boundary coupling drops below a threshold, the uncertainty of the inferred parameters increases due to insensitivity of plate motion to plate coupling....
Interlocking of heterogeneous plate coupling and aftershock area expansion pattern for the 2011 tohoku-oki mw9 earthquake... These changes indicate significant variations in the effective plate coupling that interlocked the source areas of the past distinct earthquakes....
