Slow Slip Events in New Zealand

open access: yesAnnual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2020
Continuously operating global positioning system sites in the North Island of New Zealand have revealed a diverse range of slow motion earthquakes on the Hikurangi subduction zone. These slow slip events (SSEs) exhibit diverse characteristics, from shallow (<15 km), short (<1 month), frequent (every 1–2 years) events in the northern part of the ...

Ultralow frictional healing explains recurring slow slip events

open access: yesScience, 2023
Plate motion on shallow subduction megathrusts is accommodated by a spectrum of tectonic slip modes. However, the frictional properties and conditions that sustain these diverse slip behaviors remain enigmatic. Frictional healing is one such property, which describes the degree of fault restrengthening between earthquakes.

The Role of Shear Fabric in Controlling Breakdown Processes During Laboratory Slow‐Slip Events

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2020
Understanding the physical mechanisms at the origin of slow‐slip events has been proven a very challenging task. In particular, little is known on the role of fault heterogeneity during slow slip.

Effects of material property variations on slip estimates for subduction interface slow‐slip events

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2015
We investigate the influence of elastic heterogeneity on geodetic inversions of slow-slip events by inverting for slip distributions of four events along the Hikurangi Margin, New Zealand.

Slow Earthquakes Coincident with Episodic Tremors and Slow Slip Events

Science, 2007
We report on the very-low-frequency earthquakes occurring in the transition zone of the subducting plate interface along the Nankai subduction zone in southwest Japan. Seismic waves generated by very-low-frequency earthquakes with seismic moment magnitudes of 3.1 to 3.5 predominantly show a long period of about 20 seconds.

Deep slow-slip events promote seismicity in northeastern Japan megathrust [PDF]

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Science Letters, 2020
The sliding movement between oceanic and crustal plates in subduction zones is accommodated through both earthquakes and quasi-static or transient aseismic slip.

Predicting the geodetic signature of MW≥ 8 slow slip events

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2009
Elastic dislocation models of geodetic measurements above subduction zones have led to the identification of MW ≈ 6.0–7.2 slow slip events (SSEs) that release elastic strain over periods of days to months, but great (MW ≥ 8) SSEs have remained ...

Slow slip events along the North Anatolian Fault

2021
&lt;p&gt;While some faults remain locked for tens to hundreds of years, some active faults slip slowly, either continuously or episodically. The discovery of slow, generally silent, slip at the turn of the century led to a profound modification of our understanding of the mechanics of faulting, shedding light on the dynamics of fault slip. Such

Record by quartz veins of earthquakes and slow slip events

2020
&lt;p&gt;Veins that form contemporaneously with deformation are the best recorders of the fluids circulating in the depths of orogenic and subduction zones. We have analyzed syn-kinematic quartz veins from accretionary prisms (Shimanto Belt in Japan, Kodiak accretionary prism in Alaska) and tectonic nappes in collisional orogens ...
