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.

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.

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).

Characteristic activities of slow earthquakes in Japan. [PDF]
Proc Jpn Acad Ser B Phys Biol Sci, 2020 Slow earthquakes are a recently discovered phenomenon that mainly occur updip and downdip of the seismogenic zones of great earthquakes along the subducting plate interface. The spatiotemporal activity of various slow earthquakes occurring in the Nankai subduction zone is characterized by along-strike heterogeneity and along-dip systematic changes ...

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

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

A review on slow earthquakes in the Japan Trench
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.

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.

Modeling fast and slow earthquakes at various scales. [PDF]
Proc Jpn Acad Ser B Phys Biol Sci, 2014 Earthquake sources represent dynamic rupture within rocky materials at depth and often can be modeled as propagating shear slip controlled by friction laws. These laws provide boundary conditions on fault planes embedded in elastic media. Recent developments in observation networks, laboratory experiments, and methods of data analysis have expanded our
