Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 Slow slip events (SSEs) along subduction zones play an important role in accommodating relative plate motion. SSEs interplay with large megathrust earthquakes and other slow earthquakes, including low frequency and very low frequency earthquakes.

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.

Very Low Frequency Earthquakes in Between the Seismogenic and Tremor Zones in Cascadia?
AGU Advances, 2022 Megathrust earthquakes and their associated tsunamis cause some of the worst natural disasters. In addition to earthquakes, a wide range of slip behaviors are present at subduction zones, including slow earthquakes that span multiple orders of spatial ...

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 ...

Subducting slab ultra-slow velocity layer coincident with silent earthquakes in southern Mexico [PDF]
, 2009 Great earthquakes have repeatedly occurred on the plate interface in a few shallow-dipping subduction zones where the subducting and overriding plates are strongly locked.

On the evolution of elastic properties during laboratory stick-slip experiments spanning the transition from slow slip to dynamic rupture [PDF]
, 2016 The physical mechanisms governing slow earthquakes remain unknown, as does the relationship between slow and regular earthquakes. To investigate the mechanism(s) of slow earthquakes and related quasi-dynamic modes of fault slip we performed laboratory ...

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

Ocean-bottom and surface seismometers reveal continuous glacial tremor and slip
Nature Communications, 2021 Anomalously slow earthquakes play a critical role in the earthquake cycle and fault sliding. Here, the authors detect continuous seismic radiation from a glacier sliding over its bed and show persistent coastal shaking to represent an addition to the ...

Magnitude estimation for early warning applications using the initial part of P waves: A case study on the 2008 Wenchuan sequence [PDF]
, 2009 A period parameter τ_c and an amplitude parameter Pd determined from the very beginning of P wave are important for earthquake early warning (EEW), yet their dependence on source mechanism, focal depth and epicentral distance has not been fully studied ...

Classes of low-frequency earthquakes based on inter-time distribution reveal a precursor event for the 2011 Great Tohoku Earthquake [PDF]
, 2018 Recently, slow earthquakes (slow EQ) have received much attention relative to understanding the mechanisms underlying large earthquakes and to detecting their precursors. Low-frequency earthquakes (LFE) are a specific type of slow EQ.
