Long-term slow slip event detected beneath the Shima Peninsula, central Japan, from GNSS data

Earth, Planets and Space, 2019
Long-term slow slip events (SSEs), the largest events among slow earthquakes, occur repeatedly along the Nankai Trough, southwest Japan. Their locations, near the locked zones of the plate interface responsible for great megathrust earthquakes in the ...

Features of seismicity triggered by ripple-fired explosions at the Korobkovskoye iron ore deposit

Russian Journal of Earth Sciences
Intensification of mining activities often lead to nucleation of strong earthquakes and fault-slip bursts in areas that were previously thought to be aseismic or of low seismicity.

Experimental evidence of seismic ruptures initiated by aseismic slip

Nature Communications
Seismic faults release the stress accumulated during tectonic movement through rapid ruptures or slow-slip events. The role of slow-slip events is crucial as they impact earthquakes occurrence.

Shallow very-low-frequency earthquakes accompany slow slip events in the Nankai subduction zone

Nature Communications, 2018
Slow earthquakes are now increasingly recognised to occur at plate boundaries globally. Here, the authors examine seafloor observational data from the Nankai trough and find that very-low-frequency events and slow-slip events frequently occur together ...

Getting to the Bottom of Slow-Motion Earthquakes

Eos, 2020
For close to 20 years, slow-motion earthquakes have been an enigma. Core samples provide new clues to their origins.

Comparison of statistical low-frequency earthquake activity models

Earth, Planets and Space
Slow earthquakes are slow fault slip events. Quantifying and monitoring slow earthquake activity characteristics are important, because they may change before large earthquakes occur.

Three-dimensional resistivity structure in the Nankai Trough off Kumano inferred using marine magnetotelluric investigations

Earth, Planets and Space
Megathrust and slow earthquakes are known to occur in the area off Kumano, along the eastern part of the Nankai Trough, Japan. Pore fluids along the fault surface play an important role in earthquake occurrence, but the detailed fluid distribution ...

Similarities and Differences Between Natural and Simulated Slow Earthquakes

Geophysical Research Letters
We 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 ...
