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 following the afterslip of the 2002 Mw 7.1 Hualien offshore earthquake, Taiwan
Earth, Planets and Space, 2022 Geodetic evidence for slow slip recurrence changed by stress perturbations was rare, especially from afterslip following a nearby large earthquake. The first observed slow slip events in the southernmost Ryukyu subduction had occurred in 2005, 2009, and ...

The Transient and Intermittent Nature of Slow Slip
AGU Advances, 2020 To first order, faults are locked while stress builds up to a devastating earthquake. However, we know that faults also slip slowly. After decades of geophysical observation, slow slip is now recognized as part of a continuum of transient deformation ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 Slow slip events in the northern Hikurangi margin of Aotearoa New Zealand occur every 18–24 months and last for several weeks before returning to average convergence rates of around 38 mm/yr.

Subdaily Slow Fault Slip Dynamics Captured by Low‐Frequency Earthquakes
AGU Advances, 2023 Geodetic positioning is the geophysical record of reference for slow slip events, but typical daily solutions limit studies of the evolution of slow slip to its long‐term dynamics.

Frontiers 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.

Recovery of the recurrence interval of Boso slow slip events in Japan
Earth, Planets and Space, 2019 We present the spatiotemporal evolution of the Boso slow slip event with a moment of 20 × 1018 N m that occurred in June 2018; such events, which have a duration of 1–2 weeks, have repeatedly occurred off the Boso peninsula, east Japan.

Transient Slow Slip Characteristics of Frictional‐Viscous Subduction Megathrust Shear Zones
AGU Advances, 2021 The deep roots of subduction megathrusts exhibit aseismic slow slip events, commonly accompanied by tectonic tremor. Observations from exhumed rocks suggest this region of the subduction interface is a shear zone with frictional lenses embedded in a ...

Structural control and system-level behavior of the seismic cycle at the Nankai Trough
Earth, Planets and Space, 2020 The Nankai Trough in Southwest Japan exhibits a wide spectrum of fault slip, with long-term and short-term slow-slip events, slow and fast earthquakes, all associated with different segments down the plate interface.

Applied Sciences, 2022 Fast and slow earthquakes are predominantly generated along faults constituting active plate boundaries. Characterized by repeated devastating earthquakes and frequent slow slip events and tremors, the Alaska megathrust presents a chance to understand ...
