Slow deformation event between large intraslab earthquakes at the Tonga Trench

Scientific Reports, 2021
Slow deformations associated with a subducting slab can affect quasi-static displacements and seismicity over a wide range of depths. Here, we analyse the seismotectonic activities in the Tonga subduction zone, which is the world’s most active area with ...

Long-range, critical-point dynamics in oil field flow rate data [PDF]

, 2006
Earthquake triggering data exhibit long-range spatio-temporal correlations of the power-law form C(l) ∼ l−α and anomalously-slow temporal diffusion of the mean triggering distance of the form: 〈l〉 ∼ tH, with H < 0.5.

Stress Transfer From Slow Slip Events to Earthquake Swarms as a Cycle in the Southernmost Ryukyu Subduction Zone

Geophysical Research Letters
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

Slow slip events are regular earthquakes [PDF]

, 2021
Abstract Slow slip events usually occur downdip of seismogenic zones in subduction megathrusts and crustal faults, with rupture speeds much slower than earthquakes. The empirical moment-duration scaling relation can help constrain the physical mechanism of slow slip events, yet it is still debated whether this scaling is linear or cubic and a ...

Investigation on short-term slow slip events in the northeast Japan subduction zones using decadal GNSS data

Earth, Planets and Space
Since their discovery over 25 years ago, slow slip events (SSEs) have been regarded as key phenomena for better understanding the characteristics and kinematics of faults.

Evaluating the Economic Response to Japan's Earthquake [PDF]

This paper compares the 1995 Kobe earthquake with the more recent one in Tohoku. The impact of the recent earthquake on industrial production was much larger and long-lasting than that of the 1995 earthquake.

Three-dimensional resistivity structure in the Nankai Trough off Kumano inferred using marine magnetotelluric investigations

Earth, Planets and Space
Megathrust and slow earthquakes are known to occur in the area off Kumano, along the eastern part of the Nankai Trough, Japan. Pore fluids along the fault surface play an important role in earthquake occurrence, but the detailed fluid distribution ...

Temporal variation in seismic moment release rate of slow slips inferred from deep low-frequency tremors in the Nankai subduction zone

Earth, Planets and Space, 2020
We examined seismic moment release rates as estimated from deep low-frequency tremors at episodic tremor and slip (ETS) zones on the plate interface in the Nankai subduction zone.
