A team presents new details of an oceanic transform fault at the Gofar fault in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The work reveals unexpected brine deposits beneath the seafloor near the fault, which could ...

We analyse the residual mantle Bouguer gravity anomaly (RMBA) from 19 oceanic transform fault systems and their adjacent ridge segments at ultraslow- to fast-spreading mid-ocean ridges (Supplementary ...

Being a geophysicist can sometimes feel like being a detective —uncovering clues, and then building a case based on the evidence. In a new article published in Science Advances, a collaborative team ...

The five largest continental transform earthquakes since 2000 all originated on a branch of the main fault—and two researchers predict that the next great earthquake of this type will also get its ...
