IODP Exp. 315: Sites C0001 and C0002 Jan Behrmann Jon Lewis Kyu Kanagawa Vincent Famin
Expedition 315 • C0001: 0~458 mbsf • C0002: 0~204 mbsf, 475~1057 mbsf Expedition 316 • C0006: ASR sample from 456 mbsf C0006 C0006 Modified after Ashi et al. (2008)
Site C0001 Age VS depth 140-180 m/Ma Over pressured and/or highly fractured zone
Site C0002 Age VS depth 400-800 m/My
Structural Analyses • Types of structures: • Faults, shear zones, and breccia • Vein structures • Folds and kinks - rare • Distribution: • With depth, across-strike and through time • Kinematics and dynamics • Normal, thrust and strike-slip faults - Normal faults are most common
Kinematics and Dynamics • Goal is to determine - σ1 and σ3 orientations and stress ratios, and possibly changes through time • Plots of incremental stain axes (P-T plots) (Marrett and Allmendinger et al., 1990) • Fitted compression (P) and extension (T) quadrants; fault plane solutions • Stress inversion - minimize angle betw resolved maximum shear stress and slickenlines (Angelier, 1984) • Multiple inverse method - subgroups of faults are inverted sequentially allowing determination of multiple stress states (Yamaji, 2000) • Anelastic strain recovery (ASR)
Structural Data • Number of faults measured • 299@C0001, 185@C0002, 484 total • Number of faults with slip data and sense • 223@C0001, 101@C0002, 324 total • Number of faults reoriented with p-mag. data • 40@C0001, 47@C0002, 87 total

Summary • Thrusting and strike-slip faulting; subduction-related, NW–SE compression • appear to be inactive • Normal faulting dominates the prism, possibly even near the toe: • NW–SE extension (dominantly in forearc) followed by NE–SW extension (dominantly in slope cover) • Rare thrust faults in the slope basin sediments suggest that these sediments have experienced periods of compression
NW SE σ3 σ2 σ3 σ2 Hypothesis 1 • Gravitational relaxation after underplating and duplex accretion • σ1 vertical at shallow levels everywhere • Plate convergence component (σ2) larger at C0001? and C0006?
Hypothesis 2 • Seismic cycle: • Tectonic loading • Stress relaxation • Initial loading σ1 σ3 σ2 σ2 σ3
Both Sites record sediment influxes at ca 2 Ma Difference in age of oldest slope sediments between C1 and C2 (2 Ma) suggests a prism growth rate of a few mm/yr 4 Ma 6 Ma
