The Ocean's Impact on Slow Slip Events
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 We test the hypothesis that ocean seafloor pressures impart stresses that alter the initiation or termination of transient slow slip events (SSEs) on shallow submarine and near‐coastal faults, using simulated seafloor pressures and a new catalog of SSEs ...

Revealing the cluster of slow transients behind a large slow slip event. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2018 A slow slip event is a cluster of small aseismic slip transients intermittently interrupted by relocking of the plate interface.

Slip bursts during coalescence of slow slip events in Cascadia [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 <p>Both laboratory experiments and dynamic simulations suggest that earthquakes can be preceded by a precursory phase of slow slip. Observing processes leading to an acceleration or spreading of slow slip along faults is therefore key to understand the dynamics potentially leading to seismic ruptures.

Long-lived shallow slow-slip events on the Sunda megathrust [PDF]
Nature Geoscience, 2021 During most of the time between large earthquakes at tectonic plate boundaries, surface displacement time series are generally observed to be linear. This linear trend is interpreted as a result of steady stress accumulation at frictionally locked asperities on the fault interface.

Slow Slip Event at Kilauea Volcano [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2010 Early in the morning of 1 February 2010 (UTC; early afternoon 31 January 2010 local time), continuous Global Positioning System (GPS) and tilt instruments detected a slow slip event (SSE) on the south flank of Kilauea volcano, Hawaii. The SSE lasted at least 36 hours and resulted in a maximum of about 3 centimeters of seaward displacement.

Unraveling Scaling Properties of Slow‐Slip Events [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 AbstractA major debate in geophysics is whether earthquakes and slow‐slip events (SSEs) arise from similar failure mechanisms. Recent observations from different subduction zones suggest that SSEs follow the same moment‐duration scaling as earthquakes, unlike qualitatively different scaling proposed by earlier studies.

Slow slip events are regular earthquakes [PDF]
, 2021 Abstract Slow slip events usually occur downdip of seismogenic zones in subduction megathrusts and crustal faults, with rupture speeds much slower than earthquakes. The empirical moment-duration scaling relation can help constrain the physical mechanism of slow slip events, yet it is still debated whether this scaling is linear or cubic and a ...

Integrated rupture mechanics for slow slip events and earthquakes
Nature Communications, 2022 AbstractSlow slip events occur worldwide and could trigger devastating earthquakes, yet it is still debated whether their moment-duration scaling is linear or cubic and a fundamental model unifying slow and fast earthquakes is still lacking. Here, we show that the rupture propagation of simulated slow and fast earthquakes can be predicted by a newly ...

Slip-rate-dependent friction as a universal mechanism for slow slip events [PDF]
Nature Geoscience, 2020 A growing body of observations worldwide has documented fault slip transients that radiate little or no seismic energy. The mechanisms that govern these slow slip events (SSEs) and their wide range of depths, slip rates, durations, stress drops and recurrence intervals remain poorly known.

Recurrent slow slip event likely hastened by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2012 Slow slip events (SSEs) are another mode of fault deformation than the fast faulting of regular earthquakes. Such transient episodes have been observed at plate boundaries in a number of subduction zones around the globe. The SSEs near the Boso Peninsula, central Japan, are among the most documented SSEs, with the longest repeating history, of almost ...
