Frictional Behavior of Input Sediments to the Hikurangi Trench, New Zealand

Abstract The Hikurangi subduction zone hosts shallow slow‐slip events, possibly extending to the seafloor. The mechanisms allowing for this behavior are poorly understood but are likely a function of the frictional properties of the downgoing seafloor sediments. We conducted friction experiments at...
