Origin of slow earthquake statistics in low-friction soft granular shear [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
Slow earthquakes differ from regular earthquakes in their slower moment release and size distribution dominated by smaller events. However, the physical origin of these slow earthquake statistics remains controversial.

Earthquake Swarms, Slow Slip and Fault Interactions at the Western‐End of the Hellenic Subduction System Precede the M w 6.9 Zakynthos Earthquake, Greece

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
The month‐to‐year‐long deformation of the Earth's crust where active subduction zones terminate is poorly explored. Here we report on a multidisciplinary data set that captures the synergy of slow‐slip events, earthquake swarms and fault interactions ...

Slow earthquake scaling reconsidered as a boundary between distinct modes of rupture propagation. [PDF]

open access: yesProc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023
Significance Slow earthquakes were discovered ~ 20 y ago and have been studied extensively. In 2007, we proposed a scaling law for slow earthquakes.

Slow earthquake in Afghanistan detected by InSAR [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2008
The Chaman fault system forms a prominent ∼900‐km‐long left‐lateral transform plate boundary between the Indian and Eurasian plates in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Here we show satellite radar interferometry data that revealed an afterslip (or slow earthquake) signal following an earthquake of magnitude 5.0.

Relationship of preseismic, coseismic, and postseismic fault ruptures of two large interplate aftershocks of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake with slow-earthquake activity. [PDF]

open access: yesSci Rep, 2020
To improve our understanding of the interactions between regular and slow earthquakes along the Japan Trench, we investigated the spatial relationship of slow-earthquake activity with the preseismic, coseismic, and postseismic fault ruptures of ...

Slow‐Moving Landslides Triggered by the 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura Earthquake, New Zealand: A New InSAR Phase‐Gradient Based Time‐Series Approach

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Earthquake‐triggered slow‐moving landslides are not well studied mainly due to a lack of high‐resolution in‐situ geodetic observations both in time and space.

Evidence of Localized Failure Along Altered Basaltic Blocks in Tectonic Mélange at the Updip Limit of the Seismogenic Zone: Implications for the Shallow Slow Earthquake Source

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Field studies have led to several interpretations on the mechanics behind slow earthquake phenomena downdip of the seismogenic zone. To date, field studies have not examined the shallow subduction interface which may also host slow earthquake phenomena ...

Location and Activity Changes of Slow-Moving Landslides Due to an Earthquake: Perspective from InSAR Observations

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Strong earthquakes can not only trigger many landslides in a short period of time but can also change the stability of slopes in the earthquake area, causing them to be active for a long time after the earthquake. Research on the variation of slow-motion

Earthquake Swarm Detection Along the Hikurangi Trench, New Zealand: Insights Into the Relationship Between Seismicity and Slow Slip Events

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2021
Earthquake swarms, which are anomalous increases in the seismicity rate without a distinguishable mainshock, often accompany transient aseismic processes, such as fluid migration and episodic aseismic slip along faults. Investigations of earthquake swarm

Slow slip modulates low-frequency seismicity on the Parkfield segment of the San Andreas Fault [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
Understanding how slow slip events (SSEs) influence fault behavior is essential for characterizing the fault slip spectrum and its role in earthquake generation.
