A window into the complexity of the dynamic rupture of the 2011 Mw 9 Tohoku-Oki earthquake [PDF]
, 2011 The 2011 Mw 9 Tohoku-Oki earthquake, recorded by over 1000 near-field stations and multiple large-aperture arrays, is by far the best recorded earthquake in the history of seismology and provides unique opportunities to address fundamental issues in ...

Laboratory observations of slow earthquakes and the spectrum of tectonic fault slip modes [PDF]
, 2016 Slow earthquakes represent an important conundrum in earthquake physics. While regular earthquakes are catastrophic events with rupture velocities governed by elastic wave speed, the processes that underlie slow fault slip phenomena, including recent ...

Magnitude estimation for early warning applications using the initial part of P waves: A case study on the 2008 Wenchuan sequence [PDF]
, 2009 A period parameter τ_c and an amplitude parameter Pd determined from the very beginning of P wave are important for earthquake early warning (EEW), yet their dependence on source mechanism, focal depth and epicentral distance has not been fully studied ...

Recovery of the recurrence interval of Boso slow slip events in Japan
Earth, Planets and Space, 2019 We present the spatiotemporal evolution of the Boso slow slip event with a moment of 20 × 1018 N m that occurred in June 2018; such events, which have a duration of 1–2 weeks, have repeatedly occurred off the Boso peninsula, east Japan.

On the evolution of elastic properties during laboratory stick-slip experiments spanning the transition from slow slip to dynamic rupture [PDF]
, 2016 The physical mechanisms governing slow earthquakes remain unknown, as does the relationship between slow and regular earthquakes. To investigate the mechanism(s) of slow earthquakes and related quasi-dynamic modes of fault slip we performed laboratory ...

Nature Communications, 2022 Laboratory earthquake experiments reproduce delayed earthquake triggering, similar to aftershocks, as a result of propagating slow slip fronts. The speed of the fronts can be highly sensitive to fault stress levels left behind by previous earthquakes.

Subducting slab ultra-slow velocity layer coincident with silent earthquakes in southern Mexico [PDF]
, 2009 Great earthquakes have repeatedly occurred on the plate interface in a few shallow-dipping subduction zones where the subducting and overriding plates are strongly locked.

Foreshock properties illuminate nucleation processes of slow and fast laboratory earthquakes
Nature Communications, 2023 Understanding the connection between seismic activity and the earthquake nucleation process is a fundamental goal in earthquake seismology with important implications for earthquake early warning systems and forecasting.

Triggering of the 2014 M_w7.3 Papanoa earthquake by a slow slip event in Guerrero, Mexico [PDF]
, 2016 Since their discovery two decades ago, slow slip events have been shown to play an important role in accommodating strain in subduction zones. However, the physical mechanisms that generate slow slip and the relationships with earthquakes are unclear ...
