Creep-dilatancy development at a transform plate boundary
Nature Communications, 2022 This study shows a direct evidence of pore pressure changes in seabed sediments associated with slow and transient slip along the North Anatolian Fault.

Strain waves, earthquakes, slow earthquakes, and afterslip in the framework of the Frenkel-Kontorova model [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2009 The one-dimensional Frenkel-Kontorova (FK) model, well known from the theory of dislocations in crystal materials, is applied to the simulation of the process of nonelastic stress propagation along transform faults. Dynamic parameters of plate boundary earthquakes as well as slow earthquakes and afterslip are quantitatively described, including ...

Ocean-bottom and surface seismometers reveal continuous glacial tremor and slip
Nature Communications, 2021 Anomalously slow earthquakes play a critical role in the earthquake cycle and fault sliding. Here, the authors detect continuous seismic radiation from a glacier sliding over its bed and show persistent coastal shaking to represent an addition to the ...

Slow Earthquakes in the Microseism Frequency Band (0.1–1.0 Hz) off Kii Peninsula, Japan
Geophysical Research Letters, 2018 It is difficult to detect the signal of slow deformation in the 0.1–1.0 Hz frequency band between tectonic tremors and very low frequency events, where microseism noise is dominant.

Slow Slip as an Indicator of Fault Stress Criticality
Geophysical Research LettersFault regions inferred to be slowly slipping are interpreted to accommodate much of tectonic plate motion aseismically and potentially serve as barriers to earthquake rupture.

Geophysical Research LettersMonitoring 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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 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 ...
