    Notes: Abstract   The Japan Trench forearc offshore Honshu Island in northeast Japan, where the 130-m.y.-old Pacific oceanic plate is presently subducted, was drilled during the Ocean Drilling Program Leg 186. Results from mechanical and sedimentological studies of claystones recovered from Sites 1150 and 1151 in the overlying erosional forearc wedge are reported in the present study. Although many physical properties are similar in the seismic (Site 1150) and aseismic portion (Site 1151) of the shallow forearc, Site 1150 displayed a higher abundance of open fractures, two prominent fault zones and enigmatic pore fluid signatures in the claystones. The abundance of weak mineral phases, together with high smectite contents (from X-ray diffraction), control the low friction coefficients of 0.33–0.39 of the claystones in ring-shear experiments. Results from triaxial testing proposed overall low magnitudes of in situ effective vertical stress, with somewhat lower values at Site 1150 than at Site 1151. Similarly, samples from Site 1150 displayed slightly higher pore fluid pressures than those at Site 1151. The high sediment porosities, which are in part also a result of intact diatom tests (from scanning electron microscope), together with the anomalous fluid signatures and elevated pore fluid pressures, could very likely result from upward migration and influx of deep-seated waters. Dewatering reactions at depth result in enhanced pore fluid pressure transients along out-of-sequence thrusts and consequently lower effective stress. At depths greater than that of Leg 186 drilling, elevated pressure–temperature conditions trigger mineral transformation and cementation, which result in increasing friction, unstable sliding and seismic rupture. Such earthquakes could have repeatedly disaggregated the consolidated claystone fabrics at the seismic site, and could be responsible for differences in yield strength and cementation when compared to the aseismic Site 1151.

    Notes: The Tornquist Fan, a fan-shaped region in Denmark and Western Baltic, is situated in the transition zone between the Western and Northern European Stress Provinces. Breakout data from 20 wells (0.3–3.6 km) were analysed. The fan can be divided into three stress provinces: (i) The area south of the Rømø Fracture Zone is part of the Western European Stress Province and has NNW-SSE orientation of the maximum horizontal stress, (ii) The sediment cover in the Nonvegian-Danish Basin is dominated by ENE-WSW orientated maximum horizontal stress, (iii) The maximum horizontal stress is sub-parallel to the strike of the Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone. Deviations from the regional stress field were observed in wells close to faults and salt diapirs. In wells south of the Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone, breakout occurrence decreases with increasing age of the stratigraphic units. The downhole breakout distribution seems to correlate with lithology and thickness of the sediment layer.

    Description: Depositional processes in the collision zone between the North d'Entrecasteaux Ridge (NDR) and the New Hebrides Island Arc were investigated in post-cruise analyses of sediment and nannofossils from Sites 827, 828, and 829. Reexamination of cores and analysis of grain size, turbidite frequency, carbonate content, and clay mineralogy, together with new nannofossil age determinations, were used to revise shipboard lithostratigraphies and interpret the sedimentologic history recorded at each site. The results of our analyses show that sedimentation on the inner trench slope and the impinging NDR has been significantly affected by the collision process. Uplift associated with subduction of the NDR beneath the New Hebrides Island Arc resulted in the emergence of Espiritu Santo Island and created a robust source of epiclastic sediment for the forearc area. Distribution of this material into deeper water has been modulated by Pleistocene sea level changes, which have influenced the frequency and extent of turbidity currents. Sedimentation at individual sites reflects the interplay between sediment source availability, sea level changes, and tectonic displacements, which have translated local depositional environments both horizontally and vertically. The study also provides evidence that ridge sediment and trench fill deposits have been accreted onto the forearc slope and that thrust faulting of subducting ridge sediment has occurred preferentially in kaolinite-rich horizons.
