International Subduction Zone Research

International Subduction Zone Research focuses on studying areas where one tectonic plate is forced under another, a process known as subduction. These zones are critical for understanding earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges. By collaborating across countries, scientists aim to gather data on geological processes, improve hazard assessment, and develop better safety measures for communities at risk. This research enhances our knowledge of Earth’s dynamics and helps predict natural disasters, ultimately contributing to better preparedness and resilience in affected regions.
