Probing Slow Earthquakes With Deep Learning [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 Slow earthquakes may trigger failure on neighboring locked faults that are stressed sufficiently to break, and slow slip patterns may evolve before a nearby great earthquake.

Link between the Nankai underthrust turbidites and shallow slow earthquakes [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Trench sediments such as pelagic clay or terrigenous turbidites have long been invoked to explain the seismogenic behavior of the megathrust fault (i.e., décollement).

A review on slow earthquakes in the Japan Trench [PDF]
Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2023 Slow earthquakes are episodic slow fault slips. They form a fundamental component of interplate deformation processes, along with fast, regular earthquakes.

Shallow slow earthquakes to decipher future catastrophic earthquakes in the Guerrero seismic gap [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 New offshore observations in the Guerrero seismic gap discovered shallow slow earthquakes, which suggest that a portion of the plate interface undergoes stable slip. This may explain the long return period of large earthquakes and why have previous large

Laboratory observations of slow earthquakes and the spectrum of tectonic fault slip modes [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2016 Slow earthquakes, where fault slip is slow, can be large and may help trigger regular earthquakes, but the mechanics of slow slip are not fully understood.

Slow Earthquakes Illuminating Interplate Coupling Heterogeneities in Subduction Zones
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 Slow earthquakes are mainly distributed in the vicinity of seismogenic zones of megathrust earthquakes and relationships between both types of earthquakes are expected. We examined the activity of very low frequency earthquakes (VLFEs), classified as one

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The discovery of slow earthquakes illuminates the existence of a strange depth dependence of seismogenesis, which contradicts the common understanding of smooth brittle/seismic‐ductile/aseismic transition as going deeper into the earth's surface layers ...

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

Structural barriers control the spatial extent of slow earthquake slip [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsRecent seismological and geodetic observations have revealed shallow slow earthquakes on subduction megathrusts, offering an opportunity to explore the factors controlling megathrust slip.

Applied Sciences, 2022 Fast and slow earthquakes are predominantly generated along faults constituting active plate boundaries. Characterized by repeated devastating earthquakes and frequent slow slip events and tremors, the Alaska megathrust presents a chance to understand ...
