Forecasting tectonic tremor activity using a renewal process model

open access: yesProgress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2022
In many tectonically active regions of the world, a variety of slow deformation phenomena have been discovered and collectively termed slow earthquakes.

The big impact of small quakes on tectonic tremor synchronization. [PDF]

open access: yesSci Adv
Tectonic tremor tracks the repeated slow rupture of certain major plate boundary faults. One of the most perplexing aspects about tremor is that some fault segments produce strongly periodic, spatially extensive tremor episodes, while others have more ...

Tectonic tremor: The chatter of mafic underplating

open access: yesSeismica
Tremor is a weak seismic signal accompanying slow fault slip at plate boundaries. The relationship between tremor and slow slip and the tremor source mechanism have been widely debated, owing largely to the challenge of accurately locating tremor in ...

Tectonic tremor and LFEs on a reverse fault in Taiwan [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2017
We compare low‐frequency earthquakes (LFEs) from triggered and ambient tremor under the southern Central Range, Taiwan. We apply the PageRank algorithm used by Aguiar and Beroza (2014) that exploits the repetitive nature of the LFEs to find repeating ...

Seismological Structures on Bimodal Distribution of Deep Tectonic Tremor [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2021
Deep tectonic tremors occur at the downdip extent of the seismogenic zone due to fluid processes. Beneath the northeastern Kii Peninsula, southwestern Japan, there is an along‐dip bimodal distribution of tremor.

Depth and Thickness of Tectonic Tremor in the Northeastern Olympic Peninsula [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2021
Tectonic tremor has been explained as a swarm of low‐frequency earthquakes (LFEs), which are located on a narrow fault at the plate boundary. However, due to the lack of clear impulsive phases in the tremor signal, it is difficult to determine the depth ...

Tectonic tremor as friction-induced inertial vibration

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Science Letters, 2021
Slow slip events are often accompanied by tremor but how tremor is generated is yet elusive. In this study, we test the possibility that it is an inertial vibration.

Tectonic tremor on Vancouver Island, Cascadia, modulated by the body and surface waves of the Mw 8.6 and 8.2, 2012 East Indian Ocean earthquakes [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2016
The 2012 East Indian Ocean earthquake (Mw 8.6), so far the largest intraoceanic plate strike‐slip event ever recorded, modulated tectonic tremors in the Cascadia subduction zone.

Fault–fracture mesh development produces tectonic tremor in fluid-overpressured serpentinized mantle wedge

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Deep tectonic tremor occurs repeatedly at the base of a forearc mantle wedge corner, where a highly fluid-pressurized serpentinite shear zone is thought to develop.

Does Deep Tectonic Tremor Occur in the Central‐Eastern Mediterranean Basin? [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2020
Tectonic tremor has been observed at the roots of many fault systems around the Pacific rim, including convergent and transform plate boundaries.
