Abstract Understanding the cause of spatial variations in seismicity is crucial for comprehending the physics governing earthquake activity. Off Iwate, in the northern Japan Trench subduction zone, the plate boundary can be divided into three distinct zones based on depth‐dependent slip regimes: the slow earthquake, asperity, and stable creeping zones.

Along-strike changes in ETS behavior near the slab edge of Southern Cascadia
Episodic tremor and slip (ETS) is well-documented along the entire length of the Cascadia subduction zone. We explore how the occurrence of ETS varies at the southernmost edge of the subduction zone, where geometric complexity and a slab window likely ...

Shallow Creep in the Leaky Stress Shadow of Locked Zones of Subduction Megathrust
Abstract In some subduction zones such as Nankai, creeping of the shallow part of the megathrust in the stress shadow of deeper locked zones is detected by seafloor geodetic measurements and/or reflected by slow earthquakes (SEQs). Here we explain that shallow creep occurs in the stress shadow for two reasons: (a) prolonged afterslip and (b) a leaky ...

A new global gas hydrate budget based on numerical reaction-transport modeling and a novel parameterization of Holocene and Quaternary sedimentation [PDF]
This study provides new estimates for the global methane hydrate inventory based on reaction-transport modeling [1]. A multi-1D model for POC degradation, gas hydrate formation and dissolution is presented.

The Detection of Transient Subduction Zone Interface Properties Using Teleseismic Data
Abstract The physical properties of subduction zone interfaces govern the transition between stable aseismic slip, episodic slow slip events (SSEs), and large earthquakes. Ultraslow velocity layers (USVLs) along the megathrust are commonly interpreted as indicators of elevated pore‐fluid pressures that promote slow slip, but their temporal variability ...

Evidence for an active transtensional Beaufort Range fault in the northern Cascadia forearc
Geologic records of fault slip in subduction forearcs provide critical data on stress and strain in the upper plate and the seismogenic potential of hazardous faults.

Abstract Recent megathrust earthquakes preceded by slow slip events highlight static stress transfer as a key triggering mechanism. However, there are limited insights into the interplay between static stress transfer and elevated fluid pressure before earthquake triggering.

Natural populations that are rare, cryptic or inaccessible provide a monumental challenge to monitoring, as adequate data are extremely difficult to collect. Surveys often encompass only a small portion of a population's range due to difficult terrain or

Ground motions for earthquakes of M7.5 to 9.0 on the Cascadia subduction interface are simulated based on a stochastic finite-fault model and used to estimate average response spectra for reference firm soil conditions.
