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.

Slow earthquakes and low frequency tremor along the Apennines, Italy
Annals of Geophysics, 2008 This paper reviews the main observations on slow earthquakes and low frequency tremor made along the Apennines, the main seismic active zone of Italy. These observations have been made using a geodetic interferometer system operating since 1994

Integrated rupture mechanics for slow slip events and earthquakes
Nature Communications, 2022 A new model elucidates the connections between silent earthquakes ("slow slip events") and regular ones by accounting for their finite rupture depth. It reconciles debated features of slow slip events and explains how they might lead to earthquakes.

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 ...

Subdaily Slow Fault Slip Dynamics Captured by Low‐Frequency Earthquakes [PDF]
AGU Advances, 2023 Geodetic positioning is the geophysical record of reference for slow slip events, but typical daily solutions limit studies of the evolution of slow slip to its long‐term dynamics.

Slow slip events are regular earthquakes [PDF]
, 2021 Abstract Slow slip events usually occur downdip of seismogenic zones in subduction megathrusts and crustal faults, with rupture speeds much slower than earthquakes. The empirical moment-duration scaling relation can help constrain the physical mechanism of slow slip events, yet it is still debated whether this scaling is linear or cubic and a ...

Static Source Properties of Slow and Fast Earthquakes [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2020 AbstractThe source characteristics of slow and fast earthquakes provide a window into the mechanical properties of faults. In particular, the average stress drop controls the evolution of friction, fault slip, and event magnitude. However, this important source property is typically inferred from the analysis of seismic waves and is subject to many ...

Similarities and Differences Between Natural and Simulated Slow Earthquakes
Geophysical Research LettersWe investigate similarities and differences between natural and simulated slow earthquakes using nonlinear dynamical system tools. We use spatio‐temporal slip potency rate data derived from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) position time series ...
