North-south Variability in the History of Deformation and Fluid Venting across Hydrate Ridge, Cascadia Margin
Hydrate Ridge is an accretionary thrust ridge located on the lower slope of the central Cascadia convergent margin. Structural mapping using 2-D and 3-D multichannel seismic reflection profiles and gridded bathymetry coupled with deep towed sidescan sonar data and ODP drilling biostratigraphy, suggest that seafloor fluid venting patterns are likely controlled by the seaward vergent structural s...
متن کاملFluid-induced Seismicity
The characterization of fluid-transport properties of rocks is one of the most important, yet difficult, challenges of reservoir geophysics, but is essential for optimal development of hydrocarbon and geothermal reservoirs. Production of shale oil, shale gas, heavy oil and geothermal energy, as well as carbon-dioxide sequestration, are relatively recent developments where borehole fluid injecti...
متن کاملINDUCED SEISMICITY. Seismicity triggered by fluid injection-induced aseismic slip.
Anthropogenic fluid injections are known to induce earthquakes. The mechanisms involved are poorly understood, and our ability to assess the seismic hazard associated with geothermal energy or unconventional hydrocarbon production remains limited. We directly measure fault slip and seismicity induced by fluid injection into a natural fault. We observe highly dilatant and slow [~4 micrometers pe...
متن کاملFore-arc motion and Cocos Ridge collision in Central America
[1] We present the first regional surface velocity field for Central America, showing crustal response to interaction of the Cocos and Caribbean plates. Elastic half-space models for interseismic strain accumulation on the dipping subduction plate boundary fit the GPS data well and show strain accumulation offshore and beneath the Nicoya and Osa peninsulas in Costa Rica but not in Nicaragua. Si...
متن کاملSlip Distribution of the 2014 Mw=8.1 Pisagua, Northern Chile, Earthquake Sequence Estimated From Coseismic Fore-Arc Surface Cracks
The 2014 Mw= 8.1 Iquique (Pisagua), Chile, earthquake sequence ruptured a segment of the Nazca-South America subduction zone that last hosted a great earthquake in 1877. The sequence opened >3700 surface cracks in the fore arc of decameter-scale length and millimeter-to centimeter-scale aperture. We use the strikes of measured cracks, inferred to be perpendicular to coseismically applied tensio...
