Structural barriers control the spatial extent of slow earthquake slip [PDF]

Nature Communications
Recent seismological and geodetic observations have revealed shallow slow earthquakes on subduction megathrusts, offering an opportunity to explore the factors controlling megathrust slip.

A Brownian walk model for slow earthquakes [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2008
Along some subduction plate boundaries, slow deformation is observable as seismically detected deep low‐frequency tremor and geodetically detected slow slip events. These phenomena are considered as different manifestations of slow earthquakes characterized by fairly constant seismic moment rate.

Spontaneous complexity in the dynamics of slow laboratory earthquakes

Nature Communications
Rock deformation experiments play a key role in our understanding of earthquake physics and friction constitutive laws. These laws commonly describe the response of analogue laboratory faults as a simple and homogeneous system, without accounting for the

Fast and Slow Earthquakes in Alaska: Implications from a Three-Dimensional Thermal Regime and Slab Metamorphism

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 ...

Frictional and Lithological Controls on Shallow Slow Slip at the Northern Hikurangi Margin

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
Slow slip events (SSEs) have been identified at subduction zones globally as an important link in the continuum between elastodynamic ruptures and stable creep.

A review of tidal triggering of global earthquakes

Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2023
Earthquake prediction remains a challenging and difficult task for scientists all over the world. The tidal triggering of earthquakes is being proven by an increasing number of investigations, most of which have shown that earthquakes are positively ...

A review of shallow slow earthquakes along the Nankai Trough

Earth, Planets and Space, 2023
Slow earthquakes occur at deep and shallow plate boundaries along the Nankai Trough. Deep slow earthquakes are continuously distributed along the 30–40 km depth contours of the upper surface of the subducted Philippine Sea Plate.

A combination of tides and nontidal variations in ocean bottom pressure may generate interannual slip fluctuations in the transition zone along a subduction plate interface

Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2023
The tidal triggering of earthquakes has been studied for many years. The discovery of slow earthquakes in the early 2000s, including slow slip, has urged scientists to investigate the tidal responses of these earthquakes due to their sensitivity to weak ...

Observation of Shallow Slow Earthquakes by Distributed Acoustic Sensing Using Offshore Fiber‐Optic Cable in the Nankai Trough, Southwest Japan

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Off Cape Muroto area, along the Nankai Trough in southwest Japan, is a typical area with adjacent occurrences of slow and megathrust earthquakes. High‐resolution monitoring of slow earthquakes is necessary to understand tectonic conditions.
