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.

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 ...

Bridging the gap between low-frequency and very-low-frequency earthquakes
Earth, Planets and Space, 2020 Slow earthquakes that are observed in the > 1 Hz frequency band are called tectonic tremor or low-frequency earthquakes (LFEs) and those in the 0.01–0.10 Hz band are called very-low-frequency earthquakes (VLFEs).

Earthquakes of the Nepal Himalaya : Towards a Physical Model of the Seismic Cycle [PDF]
, 2013 Home to hundreds of millions of souls and land of excessiveness, the Himalaya is also the locus of a unique seismicity whose scope and peculiarities still remain to this day somewhat mysterious.

Slow deformation event between large intraslab earthquakes at the Tonga Trench
Scientific Reports, 2021 Slow deformations associated with a subducting slab can affect quasi-static displacements and seismicity over a wide range of depths. Here, we analyse the seismotectonic activities in the Tonga subduction zone, which is the world’s most active area with ...

Human-triggered earthquakes and their impacts on human security [PDF]
, 2010 A comprehensive understanding of earthquake risks in urbanized regions requires an accurate assessment of both urban vulnerabilities and earthquake hazards.

The slow self-arresting nature of low-frequency earthquakes
Nature Communications, 2021 Low-frequency earthquakes are a series of small earthquakes with lower dominant frequencies than ordinary earthquakes. By comparing the simulated earthquakes with the real data, we find that low-frequency earthquakes represent an earthquake rupture ...

Observations of stress relaxation before earthquakes [PDF]
, 2004 Theory and observations suggest that seismic shear wave splitting, caused by fluid-saturated stress-aligned microcracks, directly monitors low-level deformation before fracturing, faulting and earthquakes occur.

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 ...

Slow slip events are regular earthquakes
, 2021 Slow slip events usually occur downdip of seismogenic zones in subduction megathrusts and crustal faults, with rupture speeds much slower than earthquakes.
