Article Synopsis
- Recurring slow slip events occur at subduction zones due to fluid overpressures but are not universally observed; the relationship between slow slip and hydrogeology remains unclear.
- Recent studies at the Hikurangi margin have identified a substantial fluid reservoir within the hydrated volcanic upper crust of the subducting Hikurangi Plateau.
- The volcaniclastic-rich upper crust retains significant fluid content during subduction, suggesting it plays a crucial role in supplying water that may lead to overpressures along megathrust faults, potentially leading to increased occurrences of shallow slow slip.
