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.

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.

Geophysical Research LettersRecent 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 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 ...

Flat-bottom grain silos under earthquake ground motion
, 2008 This paper proposes an innovative methodology for the seismic design of flat-bottom silos containing granular, grain-like material. In the general issues concerning the actions provoked by earthquake ground motion on the walls of flat-bottom grain silos,

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 ...

Earth, Planets and SpaceMegathrust 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 ...
