We already know through fracking that injecting fluid into subduction zones can trigger quakes.
I wonder about injecting a very strongly non-Newtonian fluid (a super-high tensile version of oobleck, maybe with nanotubes) into subduction zones. At high shear the fluid would be very viscous and might allow gradual release of energy.
