How do fluids and deformation at subduction plate boundaries control slow earthquakes and seismic behavior? Demian Saffer's research examines subduction zones using scientific drilling and borehole monitoring to observe slow slip and related processes. The group conducts ocean-drilling expeditions as co‑chief scientists to install observatories and collect in situ data on fault zones. Laboratory and field studies probe fault and sediment mechanics and pore‑fluid interactions to infer frictional behavior of plate interfaces. Researchers integrate geophysical observations, borehole measurements, and experimental petrophysics to relate hydrological and mechanical processes to earthquake occurrence.
