Subducting slab ultra-slow velocity layer coincident with silent earthquakes in southern Mexico [PDF]
Great earthquakes have repeatedly occurred on the plate interface in a few shallow-dipping subduction zones where the subducting and overriding plates are strongly locked.

Fast and slow intraplate ruptures during the 19 October 2020 magnitude 7.6 Shumagin earthquake
Strong tsunami excitation from slow rupture of shallow subduction zone faults is recognized as a key concern for tsunami hazard assessment. Three months after the 22 July 2020 magnitude 7.8 thrust earthquake struck the plate boundary below the Shumagin ...

Characteristics of Slow Slip Event in March 2020 Revealed From Borehole and DONET Observatories
We have detected an event of pore pressure change (hereafter, we refer it to “pore pressure event”) from borehole stations in real time in March 2020, owing to the network developed by connecting three borehole stations to the Dense Oceanfloor Network ...

Gutenberg-Richter’s law in sliding friction of gels [PDF]
We report on experimental studies of spatio-temporally heterogeneous stick-slip motions in the sliding friction between a hard polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA, plexiglass) block and a soft poly-dimethyl siloxane (PDMS, silicone) gel plate.

Interseismic Coupling and Slow Slip Events on the Cascadia Megathrust [PDF]
In this study, we model geodetic strain accumulation along the Cascadia subduction zone between 2007.0 and 2017.632 using position time series from 352 continuous GPS stations. First, we use the secular linear motion to determine interseismic locking along the megathrust.

The silent earthquake of 2002 in the Guerrero seismic gap, Mexico (Mw=7.6): Inversion of slip on the plate interface and some implications [PDF]
We invert GPS position data to map the slip on the plate interface during an aseismic, slow-slip event, which occurred in 2002 in the Guerrero seismic gap of the Mexican subduction zone, lasted for ~4 months, and was detected by 7 continuous GPS ...

Long-term slow slip events along the Nankai trough delayed by the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, Japan
The Global Navigation Satellite System network in Japan detected transient crustal deformation along the Nankai trough, Japan, from June 2018. Time-dependent inversion analysis shows that a long-term slow slip event in northern Hyuga-nada Sea along the ...

Velocity-strengthening friction significantly affects interfacial dynamics, strength and dissipation [PDF]
Frictional interfaces are abundant in natural and manmade systems and their dynamics still pose challenges of fundamental and technological importance.

The Radiated Energy of the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake [PDF]
We use several independent methods to estimate the radiated energy E_R of the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake (M_w=9.0 to 9.3), and investigate whether the difference in the rupture patterns between north and south is reflected in the difference in the energy
