Resources
This page is designed to support the community with essential resources for advancing subduction zone science and collaboration.
Subduction Zone Inventory
The Subduction Zone Inventory, crafted by the Faulting and Earthquake Cycles (FEC) group, compiles key characteristics of Earth’s major subduction zones—such as earthquake activity, convergence rate, and slow slip events—to guide future study site decisions. Each zone is scored based on criteria relevance to scientific and hazard-related questions, with scores intended to inform decision-making alongside other factors rather than provide definitive rankings.
Chile Data Compilation
This interactive map highlights key geophysical, geological, and geochemical datasets relevant to subduction zones worldwide, including regions of special interest for the SZ4D community. Explore detailed layers to visualize critical data, supporting research and decision-making for the SZ4D initiative.
SZ4D Planning Documents
This section showcases two key planning documents that provide the foundation for the SZ4D initiative, outlining the collective vision, goals, and implementation strategies. Both documents detail how the scientific community aims to plan for major research effort on subduction zone geohazards over the next decades.
Community Planning Documents
This section highlights foundational reports that have helped shaped decision-making for the SZ4D initiative. These documents, developed through collaborative efforts, outline priorities and strategies for advancing subduction zone science and hazard mitigation.
