ODP Leg 196: Logging-While-Drilling and Advanced CORKs at the Nankai Trough Accretionary Prism
نویسنده
چکیده
The Nankai Trough marks the location where the Philippine Sea Plate begins subducting beneath the Eurasian Plate. The Nankai Trough subduction system has played an important role in causing many catastrophic earthquakes, a phenomenon observed at many other subduction zones (Ando, 1975). Recent studies have established that fluids play a major role in the physical and chemical evolution of subduction zones and, hence, their seismogenic behavior

Heat flow and fluid flow regime in the western Nankai accretionary prism
The thermal structure of the western Nankai subduction zone has been studied through surface heat flow measurements with conventional geothermal probes and estimation of heat flow from depths of gas hydrate bottom simulating reflectors. Temperature and thermal conductivity measurements at ODP Site 808, located at the toe of the Nankai accretionary prism, added important information on any varia...

[1] Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 315 recovered cores from accretionary units, which are overlain by cover sequences, at a site on the hanging wall of the mega‐splay fault (C0001), and at a seaward margin of a forearc basin (C0002) in Nankai Trough off Kumano, Japan. In order to investigate the amount and the style of deformation and shortening direction of the accretionary prism...

Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 333 returned to two sites drilled during IODP Expedition 322 on the ocean side of the Nankai Trough to pursue the characterization of the inputs to the Nankai subduction and seismogenic zone, as part of the Nankai Trough Seismogenic Experiment (NanTroSEIZE) multi-expedition project. Site C0011 is located at the seaward edge of the trench and S...
متن کاملNeural network interpretation of LWD data (ODP Leg 170) con¢rms complete sediment subduction at the Costa Rica convergent margin
The internal structure of a convergent plate boundary was the focus of ODP Leg 170 in 1996 at the subduction zone off Costa Rica. Although the structure of the subduction zone is rather well known from seismic surveys, prior to drilling of ODP Leg 170 it was a matter of discussion whether it is accretionary or non-accretionary. With a neural network approach, we confirm the evidence gained duri...
متن کاملAssessment of bacterial community structure in the deep sub-seafloor biosphere by 16S rDNA-based techniques: a cautionary tale.
Investigations into the deep marine environment have demonstrated the presence of a significant microbial biomass buried deep within sediments on a global scale. It is now believed that this deep biosphere plays a major role in the global cycling of elements and contains a large reservoir of organic carbon. This paper reports the development of a DNA extraction protocol that addresses the parti...
