Comparison of statistical low-frequency earthquake activity models
Slow earthquakes are slow fault slip events. Quantifying and monitoring slow earthquake activity characteristics are important, because they may change before large earthquakes occur.

The 2010 Chile Earthquake: a five-year reflection
At 3:34AM local time, on February 27th, 2010, a moment magnitude Mw 8.8 megathrust earthquake struck offshore the coast of Chile. The earthquake ruptured a 540 by 200 km mature seismic gap of the underlying subduction pacific plate interlocking mechanism.

Healthcare network’s response and resilience in Iquique after the 2014, Pisagua earthquake
On April 1st, 2014, the 8.2 Mw Pisagua earthquake affected the population in the north of Chile and generated disruption of services in the region. The largest effects of the earthquake were observed in the city of Iquique, capital of the Tarapaca Region,

Flat-bottom grain silos under earthquake ground motion
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,

The physical conditions governing earthquake initiation are largely unknown, particularly in the minutes to seconds preceding rupture. While there is geodetic and seismic evidence of precursory activity in the hours to weeks prior to large earthquakes ...

SLOW EARTHQUAKES IN CENTRAL ITALY
[1] Slow earthquakes and afterslips prove that the Earth does not have just two response time scales, i.e. that of tectonic loading and that of regular earthquakes. A swarm of slow earthquakes, with time constants of the order of hundreds of seconds, has been detected by a laser interferometer below the Gran Sasso massif (Italy).

Advances in Deep Learning Applications for Slow Earthquake Research
Slow earthquakes represent an important mode of fault slip transitional between stable creep and dynamic rupture. Their occurrence is jointly controlled by mineral composition, pore-fluid pressure, effective normal stress, system stiffness, and ...

Connecting slow earthquakes to huge earthquakes
Slow earthquakes are characterized by a wide spectrum of fault slip behaviors and seismic radiation patterns that differ from those of traditional earthquakes. However, slow earthquakes and huge megathrust earthquakes can have common slip mechanisms and are located in neighboring regions of the seismogenic zone.

EXTENDED FRAMEWORK FOR EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI RISK ASSESSMENT: PADANG CITY A CASE STUDY [PDF]
The Great Sumatra earthquake and resulting devastating tsunami in 2004 have highlighted the significance of earthquake risk assessment that can effectively include all main associated hazards, such as tsunami.
