Defining the Relationship between Seismicity and Deformation at Regional and Local Scales [PDF]
, 2013 In this thesis, I use source inversion methods to improve understanding of crustal deformation along the Nyainquentanglha (NQTL) Detachment in Southern Tibet and the Piceance Basin in northwestern Colorado.

Laboratory observations of slow earthquakes and the spectrum of tectonic fault slip modes
Nature Communications, 2016 Slow earthquakes, where fault slip is slow, can be large and may help trigger regular earthquakes, but the mechanics of slow slip are not fully understood.

Reconsidering earthquake scaling
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 The relationship (scaling) between scalar moment, M0, and duration, T, potentially provides key constraints on the physics governing fault slip. The prevailing interpretation of M0‐T observations proposes different scaling for fast (earthquakes) and slow

Daily measurement of slow slip from low-frequency earthquakes is consistent with ordinary earthquake scaling. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2019 Slow slip transients on faults can last from seconds to months and stitch together the earthquake cycle. However, no single geophysical instrument is able to observe the full range of slow slip because of bandwidth limitations.

Sliding into simulating slow slip [PDF]
Science, 2016 Rock Mechanics A type of deformation on faults called slow slip releases similar amounts of energy as earthquakes, but without the familiar and frightening shaking. Leeman et al. use clever laboratory observations to investigate how faults might have a full range of behaviors ranging from slow slip to earthquake.

Structural control and system-level behavior of the seismic cycle at the Nankai Trough
Earth, Planets and Space, 2020 The Nankai Trough in Southwest Japan exhibits a wide spectrum of fault slip, with long-term and short-term slow-slip events, slow and fast earthquakes, all associated with different segments down the plate interface.

The geophysics, geology and mechanics of slow fault slip [PDF]
, 2018 Modern geodetic and seismologic observations describe the behavior of fault slip over a vast range of spatial and temporal scales. Slip at sub-seismogenic speeds is evident from top to bottom of lithospheric faults and plays an important role throughout ...

Recovery of the recurrence interval of Boso slow slip events in Japan
Earth, Planets and Space, 2019 We present the spatiotemporal evolution of the Boso slow slip event with a moment of 20 × 1018 N m that occurred in June 2018; such events, which have a duration of 1–2 weeks, have repeatedly occurred off the Boso peninsula, east Japan.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2018 We measured displacement vectors from horizontal components of 80 Global Positioning System stations to analyze six major episodic tremor and slip (ETS) events from 2007 to 2016 in northern Cascadia and inverted for slip on a realistic plate interface ...
