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.

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.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2012 Since the discovery of slow slip events along subduction zone interfaces worldwide, dense geodetic and seismic networks have illuminated detailed characteristics of these events and associated tremor.

Dilatant strengthening as a mechanism for slow slip events [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2010 The mechanics of slow slip events (SSE) in subduction zones remain unresolved. We suggest that SSE nucleate in areas of unstable friction under drained conditions, but as slip accelerates dilatancy reduces pore pressure p quenching instability. Competition between dilatant strengthening and thermal pressurization may control whether slip is slow or ...

Similar scaling laws for earthquakes and Cascadia slow-slip events [PDF]
Nature, 2019 Faults can slip not only episodically during earthquakes but also during transient aseismic slip events1-5, often called slow-slip events. Previous studies based on observations compiled from various tectonic settings6-8 have suggested that the moment of slow-slip events is proportional to their duration, instead of following the duration-cubed scaling

SLOW SLIP EVENTS: PARAMETERS, CONDITIONS OF OCCURRENCE, AND FUTURE RESEARCH PROSPECTS
Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015 Slow slip events along faults and fractures are reviewed. Such inter-block displacements can be recorded at various scale levels and considered as transitional from quasi-stable (creep) to dynamic slip (earthquake).

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 ...

Slow slip events and strain accumulation in the Guerrero gap, Mexico [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 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 ...

Observing and Modeling the Spectrum of a Slow Slip Event [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2018 AbstractWe estimate and model the normalized moment rate power spectrum of large slow slip events in Cascadia. We estimate the spectrum using data from GPS‐derived slip inversions, borehole strain records, and beamforming‐based tremor amplitudes. The normalized power spectrum initially decreases with frequency but then may flatten at periods of 1 to 10

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.
