The Mw7.8 2016 Kaikōura earthquake

, 2017
We provide a summary of the surface fault ruptures produced by the Mw7.8 14 November 2016 Kaikōura earthquake, including examples of damage to engineered structures, transportation networks and farming infrastructure produced by direct fault surface ...

A comparison of the governance landscape of earthquake risk reduction in Nepal and the Indian State of Bihar [PDF]

, 2016
On 25 April 2015, a Mw 7.8 earthquake struck central Nepal, killing more than 8,700 people. An earthquake of this magnitude has long been anticipated in Nepal and the neighbouring northern Indian state of Bihar, which straddle the active Himalayan ...

Slow Slip as an Indicator of Fault Stress Criticality

Geophysical Research Letters
Fault regions inferred to be slowly slipping are interpreted to accommodate much of tectonic plate motion aseismically and potentially serve as barriers to earthquake rupture.

Southern Cascadia episodic slow earthquakes [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2004
Continuous GPS and seismic data from northern California show that slow earthquakes periodically rupture the Gorda‐North America plate interface within southern Cascadia. On average, these creep events have occurred every 10.9 ± 1.2 months since at least 1998.

Telesesimic Detection of Slow Precursor to the Great 1989 Macquarie Ridge Earthquake

, 1993
Low-frequency spectra for the 1989 Macquarie Ridge earthquake (magnitude 8.2) show an amplitude increase and a phase-delay decrease below 6 millihertz that require a short-term slow precursor. This earthquake can be modeled as a compound event in which a

2022 Mw 6.6 Luding, China, Earthquake: A Strong Continental Event Illuminating the Moxi Seismic Gap

, 2023
On 5 September 2022, an Mw 6.6 strike-slip earthquake occurred in Luding, Sichuan, China. It illuminates the seismic gap on the southern end of Xianshuihe fault zone, that is Moxi segment, and is the most damaging earthquake in Chinese Mainland since ...

Low-frequency earthquakes along the Ryukyu Islands triggered by teleseismic earthquakes

Earth, Planets and Space, 2021
Tremors and low-frequency earthquakes (LFEs), which occur in the plate interface, can provide useful information about the state of aseismic stress transfer in mega-earthquake fault zones.

Detection of Shallow Tectonic Tremors in Hyuga‐nada, Nankai Trough, Using the Newly Established N‐Net OBS Network

Geophysical Research Letters
Monitoring tectonic tremors is crucial for understanding stress release in subduction zones and assessing megathrust earthquake risk. The Hyuga‐nada region, at the western edge of the Nankai Trough, Japan, provides a natural laboratory for investigating ...

Origin of slow earthquake statistics in low-friction soft granular shear

Nature Communications
Slow earthquakes differ from regular earthquakes in their slower moment release and size distribution dominated by smaller events. However, the physical origin of these slow earthquake statistics remains controversial.
