Fluid pressurisation and earthquake propagation in the Hikurangi subduction zone

Fluid pressurisation and earthquake propagation in the Hikurangi subduction zone

Laboratory experiments reproducing earthquake slip in non cohesive fault rocks under fluid pressurised conditions are challenging. Thanks to these experiments, the authors show that earthquake slip occurring in tsunamigenic subduction zone faults is controlled by dilatancy and pressurisation process...
