Transform faults accommodate the lateral motions between lithospheric plates, producing
large earthquakes. Away from active transform boundaries, former oceanic transform faults …

The crustal accretion along mid-ocean ridges is known to be spreading-rate dependent.
Along fast-spreading ridges, two-dimensional sheet-like mantle upwelling creates relatively …

Full-waveform inversion (FWI) of seismic data provides quantitative constraints on
subsurface structures. Despite its widespread success, FWI of data around the critical angle …

The crust beneath transform faults at slow-spreading ridges has been considered to be thin,
comprising a thin mafic layer overlying serpentinized peridotite. Using wide-angle seismic …

Oceanic transform faults play an essential role in plate tectonics. Yet to date, there is no
unifying explanation for the global trend in broad-scale transform fault topography, ranging …

Abstract The Hawaiian Ridge has long been a focus site for studying lithospheric flexure due
to intraplate volcano loading, but crucial load and flexure details remain unclear. We …

Plate tectonics characterize transform faults as conservative plate boundaries where the
lithosphere is neither created nor destroyed. In the Atlantic, both transform faults and their …

The Owen transform fault (OTF) connecting the Sheba and the Carlsberg spreading ridges
in the Indian Ocean currently forms the active plate boundary between India and Somalia …

We present seismic tomographic results from a unique seismic refraction and wide‐angle
survey along a 600 km long flow‐line corridor of oceanic lithosphere ranging in age from 0 …

Seismicity along transform faults provides important constraints for our understanding of the
factors that control earthquake ruptures. Oceanic transform faults are particularly informative …
