Earthquake and Tsunami Forecasts: Relation of Slow Slip Events to Subsequent Earthquake Rupture [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2014
The 5 September 2012 Mw 7.6 earthquake on the Costa Rica subduction plate boundary followed a 62-y interseismic period. High-precision GPS recorded numerous slow slip events (SSEs) in the decade leading up to the earthquake, both up-dip and down-dip of ...

A slow earthquake

Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 1979
Anomalous earthquakes such as creep events, tsunami earthquakes and silent earthquakes have been reported in the recent literature. In this paper we discuss an anomalous “slow earthquake” that occurred on June 6, 1960 in southern Chile. Although the surface-wave magnitude of this event is only 6.9, it excited anomalously large long-period multiple ...

Slow earthquakes triggered by typhoons

Nature, 2009
The first reports on a slow earthquake were for an event in the Izu peninsula, Japan, on an intraplate, seismically active fault. Since then, many slow earthquakes have been detected. It has been suggested that the slow events may trigger ordinary earthquakes (in a context supported by numerical modelling), but their broader significance in terms of ...

Seismic and Environmental Controls on Slow-Moving Landslides: Insights From the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake [PDF]

open access: yesEngineering Geology
Earthquakes can initiate slow-moving landslides and cause them to transition into rapid failures. Although observations are limited, the literature suggests that strong earthquakes are more likely to trigger nearby failures, while smaller earthquakes may

Slow Earthquakes Coincident with Episodic Tremors and Slow Slip Events

Science, 2007
We report on the very-low-frequency earthquakes occurring in the transition zone of the subducting plate interface along the Nankai subduction zone in southwest Japan. Seismic waves generated by very-low-frequency earthquakes with seismic moment magnitudes of 3.1 to 3.5 predominantly show a long period of about 20 seconds.

Slow earthquakes and stress redistribution

Nature, 1978
Strainmeters with high sensitivity over long periods have enabled the detection and identification of slow earthquakes: seismic events which produce records similar to those from normal earthquakes except that the time scale for the rupture process is considerably longer.
