T33C:
From the Seismic Cycle to Geological Timescales, How Do Subduction Processes that Can Possibly Modify the Megathrust Geometry and Mechanical Properties Control the Tectonic Evolution and Deformation of Active Margins and the Subduction Seismic Behavior? II Posters

Session ID#: 7866

Session Description:

A fundamental feature of overriding plates is that on 10⁰to10⁷yr time-scales, they deform both abruptly and dramatically or slowly and subtly in response to an array of distinct subduction processes, among which are earthquake cycles, subducting ridges, and erosion/accretion. Over short time-scales, the pattern of upper-plate vertical deformation is dominated by subduction seismic cycles controlled by the megathrust structure and mechanical properties. Over longer time-scales, upper-plates present various vertical deformation patterns, which can be transient, vary along-strike, reflect long lasting elastic behavior (no permanent deformation) or not (building of permanent topography). Consequently, observations of long-term vertical deformation offer clues to investigate the structure, properties and processes enveloping the interplate thrust zone and their significance regarding subduction seismic behavior. This session welcomes insights focusing on active deformation at convergent margins through observations and modeling that seek to integrate the different time-scales to comprehend the factors controlling subduction zone behavior.
