Very Low Frequency Earthquakes in Between the Seismogenic and Tremor Zones in Cascadia?

open access: yesAGU Advances, 2022
Megathrust earthquakes and their associated tsunamis cause some of the worst natural disasters. In addition to earthquakes, a wide range of slip behaviors are present at subduction zones, including slow earthquakes that span multiple orders of spatial ...

Stress buildup in the Himalaya [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The seismic cycle on a major fault involves long periods of elastic strain and stress accumulation, driven by aseismic ductile deformation at depth, ultimately released by sudden fault slip events. Coseismic slip distributions are generally heterogeneous

Rethinking turbidite paleoseismology along the Cascadia subduction zone [PDF]

open access: yesGeology, 2014
A stratigraphic synthesis of dozens of deep-sea cores, most of them overlooked in recent decades, provides new insights into deepsea turbidites as guides to earthquake and tsunami hazards along the Cascadia subduction zone, which extends 1100 km along the Pacific coast of North America.

Three-dimensional variations of the slab geometry correlate with earthquake distributions at the Cascadia subduction system

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Variations in seismicity are observed at subduction zones, but the oceanic sides remain poorly resolved. Here, the author presents tomographic results of the Cascadia subduction system demonstrating that there are significant variations of the oceanic ...

Active megadetachment beneath the western United States [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Geodetic data, interpreted in light of seismic imaging, seismicity, xenolith studies, and the late Quaternary geologic history of the northern Great Basin, suggest that a subcontinental-scale extensional detachment is localized near the Moho.

Relative Tsunami Hazard From Segments of Cascadia Subduction Zone For Mw 7.5–9.2 Earthquakes

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2021
Tsunamis from earthquakes of various magnitudes have affected Cascadia in the past. Simulations of Mw 7.5–9.2 earthquake constrained by earthquake rupture physics and geodetic locking models show that Mw ≥ 8.5 events initiating in the middle segments of ...

Interseismic coupling and seismic potential along the Central Andes subduction zone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We use about two decades of geodetic measurements to characterize interseismic strain build up along the Central Andes subduction zone from Lima, Peru, to Antofagasta, Chile.

Slow Slip Predictions Based on Granit and Gabbro Friction Data Compared to GPS Measurements in Northern Cascadia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
For episodic slow slip transients in subduction zones, a large uncertainty in comparing surface deformations predicted by forward modeling based on rate and state friction to GPS measurements lies in our limited knowledge of the frictional properties and

Strain accumulation along the Cascadia Subduction Zone

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2000
We combine triangulation, trilateration, and GPS observations to determine horizontal strain rates along the Cascadia subduction zone from Cape Mendocino to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Shear‐strain rates are significantly greater than zero (95% confidence) in all forearc regions (26–167 nanoradians/yr), and are not significant in the arc and backarc ...

An aseismic slip pulse in northern Chile and along-strike variations in seismogenic behavior [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We use interferometric synthetic aperture radar, GPS, and seismic observations spanning 5 to 18 years to reveal a detailed kinematic picture of the spatiotemporal evolution of fault slip in a region corresponding to the 30 July 1995 M_w 8.1 subduction ...
