Abstract:Fluid flow and pore-pressure cycling are often invoked as controls to
slow slip events (SSEs), such as those that frequently occur at the
northern Hikurangi margin (HM) of New Zealand. To better understand
fluid flow in the forearc system, we examined the relationship between
elastic properties, compaction, porosity, and permeability of Cretaceous
to Pliocene mudstones from the Raukumara peninsula. We found that the
permeability of the deep wedge is too low to drain fluids, but
fracturing increases permeabilit… Show more
