Data for article "Rheologic controls on the depth-dependence of megathrust earthquakes"

The files contained in this folder either contain the data used in the manuscript "Rheologic controls on the depth-dependence of megathrust earthquakes" by French et al. or contain the code required to produce the figures.

1. Earthquakes folder contains up to 3 files per margin. One file contains all earthquakes downloaded from CMT near the transect studies, the other two which contain '7km_projected' or '12km_projected' in the name contain the earthquakes projected from within 75 km horizontal distance of the transect and then filter for those within 7 or 12 km normal to the slab top.

2. Temperature Profile files contain two columns: Temperature in C calculated using the England and May (2021) solution and input parameters stated in the manuscript and Depth in km.

3. Slab Profiles Contain the xz coordinates of each slab which were needed to calculate the temperature profiles.

4. Strength Profile Inputs contains the files needed to run the code to create strength profiles (StrengthProfileCalculations.m). These files contain depth (km) and temperature (K) directly from the thermal model outputs, overburden (bars), water pressure (bars) which is used to calcite the specific water volume (cc/mol) and water fugacity (bars). Specific water volume and fugacity are needed for dissolution precipitation creep calculations of the metasediments.

5. StrengthProfileCalculations.m can be used to calculate all strength profiles in the manuscript if the first 6 variables are adjusted to the appropriate values and in file read (M) is selected for the appropriate margin the Strength Profile Inputs folder.
