Subduction megathrust creep governed by pressure solution and frictional-viscous flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Subduction megathrust slip speeds range from slow creep at plate convergence rates (centimetres per year) to seismic slip rates (metres per second) in the largest earthquakes on Earth.

Active megadetachment beneath the western United States [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Geodetic data, interpreted in light of seismic imaging, seismicity, xenolith studies, and the late Quaternary geologic history of the northern Great Basin, suggest that a subcontinental-scale extensional detachment is localized near the Moho.

Slow slip events and strain accumulation in the Guerrero gap, Mexico [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2012
Global positioning system (GPS) time series in Guerrero (Mexico) reveal the existence of large slow slip events (SSEs) at the boundary between the Cocos and North American plates. In this study, we examined the last three SSEs that occurred in 2001/2002, 2006 and 2009/2010, and their impact on the strain accumulation along the Guerrero subduction ...

A 15 year slow-slip event on the Sunda megathrust offshore Sumatra [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In the Banyak Islands of Sumatra, coral microatoll records reveal a 15 year-long reversal of interseismic vertical displacement from subsidence to uplift between 1966 and 1981.

Slow-slip events in semi-brittle serpentinite fault zones [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Abstract Slow-slip events are earthquake-like events only with much lower slip rates. While peak coseismic velocities can reach tens of meters per second, slow-slip is on the order of 10 −7±2 m/s and may last for days to weeks.

Objective detection of long-term slow slip events along the Nankai Trough using GNSS data (1996–2016)

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2017
This paper presents a method for objective detection of long-term slow slip events with durations on the order of years, on the plate boundary along the Nankai Trough, relying on global navigation satellite system daily coordinate data.

Assessment of S-net seafloor pressure data quality in view of seafloor geodesy

open access: yesProgress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2022
Long-term continuous observation of seafloor pressure is effective for detecting seafloor vertical deformations that are associated with transient tectonic phenomena such as slow slip events.

The Seismogenic Potential of the Southernmost Ryukyu Subduction Zone as Revealed by Historical Earthquakes and Slow Slip events

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The southernmost Ryukyu subduction zone may have a geodetically inferred Mw 7.5 to 8.7 megathrust earthquake in a shallow locked region, the Ryukyu fault.

A stochastic approach to reconstruction of faults in elastic half space [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We introduce in this study an algorithm for the imaging of faults and of slip fields on those faults. The physics of this problem are modeled using the equations of linear elasticity.

Geophysical Constraints on the Relationship Between Seamount Subduction, Slow Slip, and Tremor at the North Hikurangi Subduction Zone, New Zealand

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2018
We use a prestack depth migration reflection image and magnetic anomaly data across the northern Hikurangi subduction zone, New Zealand, to constrain plate boundary structure and geometry of a subducting seamount in a region of shallow slow slip and ...
