This is the second volume in the ‘Margins Theoretical and Experimental Earth Science Series’, published by Columbia University Press. ‘MARGINS’ is a multi-themed NSF-funded research programme concerned with the origin, development and deformation of continental margins. This volume contains 20 papers, representing contributions to a workshop meeting on ‘The Seismogenic Zone Revisited’ held in March 2003.

The volume is arranged into five main sections, concerned with: (1) ‘The incoming plate’, which looks at the influence of sediments, thermal structure and subducting topography on the subduction process (3 papers); (2) ‘Convergent margin structure, fluids and subduction thrust evolution’, with particular studies of Barbados, Nankai and Nicaragua (5 papers); (3) ‘Laboratory studies’, concerned mostly with friction (3 papers); (4) ‘Seismic and geodetic studies’, with a mixture of observational and modelling contributions (5 papers); and (5) ‘Regional scale deformation’, with two contributions, one . . .
