The Nusfjord exhumed earthquake source (Lofoten, Norway): deep crustal seismicity driven by bending of the lower plate during continental collision (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Menegon, L., Campbell, L., Fagereng, Å., & Pennacchioni, G. (2020). The Nusfjord exhumed earthquake source (Lofoten, Norway): deep crustal seismicity driven by bending of the lower plate during continental collision. In EGU General Assembly 2020. https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu2020-7129

The origin of earthquakes in the lower crust at depth of 20-40 km, where dominantly ductile deformation is expected, is highly debated. Exhumed networks of lower crustal coeval pseudotachylytes (quenched frictional melt produced during seismic slip)...

Pyroxene low-temperature plasticity and fragmentation as a record of seismic stress evolution in the lower crust (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Campbell, L., & Menegon, L. (2020). Pyroxene low-temperature plasticity and fragmentation as a record of seismic stress evolution in the lower crust. In EGU General Assembly 2020. https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu2020-7380

Seismic rupture of the lower continental crust requires a high failure stress, given large lithostatic stresses and potentially strong rheologies. Several mechanisms have been proposed to generate high stresses at depth, including local amplification...

Insights from easternmost Tethys: Slab rollback, mantle exhumation, and UHT metamorphism in Eastern Indonesia (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Pownall, J., Hall, R., Forster, M., & Lister, G. (2018). Insights from easternmost Tethys: Slab rollback, mantle exhumation, and UHT metamorphism in Eastern Indonesia. In EGU General Assembly Conference Abstracts

The collision of Australia with SE Asia around 23 million years ago marked the closure of the eastern Tethys. Continued convergence of these two continents has since resulted in a complex array of active subduction zones, young mountain belts, and ne...

A low-angle normal fault earthquake and tsunami: The 1852 Banda Sea Earthquake, Eastern Indonesia (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Pownall, J., Pranantyo, I., Cummins, P., & Griffin, J. (2018). A low-angle normal fault earthquake and tsunami: The 1852 Banda Sea Earthquake, Eastern Indonesia. In AGU Fall Meeting Abstracts

In November 1852, the Banda Islands, Eastern Indonesia suffered a devastating earthquake which was followed fifteen minutes later by a tsunami with up to eight meters height. Strong shaking was also felt on Ambon, Saparua, and Haruku Islands. The tsu... Read More about A low-angle normal fault earthquake and tsunami: The 1852 Banda Sea Earthquake, Eastern Indonesia.

Analysis of liquid resource play potential in China (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Smith, N. J., Evans, K. C., Robinson, L. J., & Cowley, L. A. (2014). Analysis of liquid resource play potential in China. . https://doi.org/10.15530/URTEC-2014-1906965

The overwhelming impact of unconventional exploration in the United States of America has sparked global interest in the development of shale resource plays. In China, although shale gas exploration has been a key focus in the past five years, partic... Read More about Analysis of liquid resource play potential in China.
