Do Slow Slip Events Trigger Large and Great Megathrust Earthquakes? [PDF]
, 2018 Slow slip events have been suggested to trigger subduction earthquakes. However, examples to date have been poorly recorded, occurring offshore, where data are sparse. Better understanding of slow slip events and their influence on subsequent earthquakes

Slow earthquakes release a similar amount of energy as fast earthquakes but over a much longer time scale. While this difference makes them less dangerous to the public, their frequent occurrence signals that faults move almost continuously.

Daily measurement of slow slip from low-frequency earthquakes is consistent with ordinary earthquake scaling [PDF]
, 2019 Slow slip transients on faults can last from seconds to months and stitch together the earthquake cycle. However, no single geophysical instrument is able to observe the full range of slow slip because of bandwidth limitations.

Modeling fast and slow earthquakes at various scales
Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B, 2014 Earthquake sources represent dynamic rupture within rocky materials at depth and often can be modeled as propagating shear slip controlled by friction laws. These laws provide boundary conditions on fault planes embedded in elastic media. Recent developments in observation networks, laboratory experiments, and methods of data analysis have expanded our

Geophysical Research LettersObservations of the 2019 magnitude 7.1 Ridgecrest, California, earthquake indicate a relatively slow rupture (∼2 km/s). The fault is surrounded by sedimentary rocks and low‐velocity damage zones, which can amplify ground motions but also slow down ...

Spontaneous complexity in the dynamics of slow laboratory earthquakes.
Nature CommunicationsRock deformation experiments play a key role in our understanding of earthquake physics and friction constitutive laws. These laws commonly describe the response of analogue laboratory faults as a simple and homogeneous system, without accounting for the spatial-temporal evolution of structures in the sample.

What do Haitians need after the earthquake? [PDF]
The earthquake that hit Haiti in the beginning of 2010 led to tremendous international solidarity in the recovery effort. Despite the tons of aid sent to Haiti, relatively little is known about the effectiveness of the aid or about the continuing needs ...
