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.

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.

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.

Shallow very-low-frequency earthquakes accompany slow slip events in the Nankai subduction zone [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Slow earthquakes are now increasingly recognised to occur at plate boundaries globally. Here, the authors examine seafloor observational data from the Nankai trough and find that very-low-frequency events and slow-slip events frequently occur together ...

Origin of slow earthquake statistics in low-friction soft granular shear [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSlow earthquakes differ from regular earthquakes in their slower moment release and size distribution dominated by smaller events. However, the physical origin of these slow earthquake statistics remains controversial.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 Slow slip events (SSEs) in subduction zones can trigger earthquake swarms, especially at shallow depth. The monitoring of seismicity rates has therefore the potential to help detect and characterize SSEs, and transient changes in coupling.

Effects of episodic slow slip on seismicity and stress near a subduction-zone megathrust
Nature Communications, 2021 Large slow slip earthquakes and tremor occur in subduction zones near the locked megathrust. Combined analysis of changes in slab seismicity and stress field near the times of such slow slip events highlights the role of fluid in promoting slow slip.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Recent observations beneath central Japan have shown that periodic fluid drainage occurs during slow‐slip events (SSEs) based on temporal variations in QP−1 above the megathrust boundary of the subducting Philippine Sea slab. However, no previous studies

Filling the Gap in Cascadia: The Emergence of Low‐Amplitude Long‐Term Slow Slip
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 Long‐term slow slip events have been observed at several subduction zones around the globe, where they play an integral part in strain release along megathrust faults.
