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.

Slip bursts during coalescence of slow slip events in Cascadia [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 Slow slip events are commonly observed on natural faults all around the world and are suggested to precede large magnitude and/or high frequency earthquakes.

Effects of episodic slow slip on seismicity and stress near a subduction-zone megathrust [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 Large slow slip earthquakes and tremor occur in subduction zones near the locked megathrust. Combined analysis of changes in slab seismicity and stress field near the times of such slow slip events highlights the role of fluid in promoting slow slip.

Integrated rupture mechanics for slow slip events and earthquakes [PDF]
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.

Linking the scaling of tremor and slow slip near Parkfield, CA [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Huang and Hawthorne present new evidence supporting that tremor and slow slip are linked by the same moment-duration scaling. First-order implications would include that tremor and slow slip are likely generated by the same fault zone process.

An exponential build-up in seismic energy suggests a months-long nucleation of slow slip in Cascadia [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 Using machine learning algorithms, the authors here identify slow slip precursors in the Cascadia subduction zone to last for months - which in turn argues for a much better predictability of slow slip rupture.

Slow slip modulates low-frequency seismicity on the Parkfield segment of the San Andreas Fault [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsUnderstanding how slow slip events (SSEs) influence fault behavior is essential for characterizing the fault slip spectrum and its role in earthquake generation.

Slow slip events following the afterslip of the 2002 Mw 7.1 Hualien offshore earthquake, Taiwan
Earth, Planets and Space, 2022 Geodetic evidence for slow slip recurrence changed by stress perturbations was rare, especially from afterslip following a nearby large earthquake. The first observed slow slip events in the southernmost Ryukyu subduction had occurred in 2005, 2009, and ...
