Tectonic tremor and deep slow slip on the Alpine Fault [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2012 Tectonic tremor is characterized by persistent, low-frequency seismic energy seen at major plate boundaries. Although predominantly associated with subduction zones, tremor also occurs along the deep extension of the strike-slip San Andreas Fault.

Role of plate convergence rate in shaping earthquake recurrence in subduction zones [PDF]
Scientific ReportsUnderstanding the complex interplay of subduction zone processes is key to unravelling the timing and distribution of great earthquake cycles within the framework of the plate tectonics paradigm.

Crustal anisotropy from tectonic tremor in Guerrero, Mexico
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2016 AbstractWe present new shear wave anisotropy measurements in the continental crust in northern Guerrero obtained from tectonic tremor. Measurements of crustal anisotropy had not been performed in this area due to the lack of seismicity. However, tectonic tremor activity is abundant and offers an opportunity to determine anisotropy parameters ...

Earth, Planets and Space, 2022 Slow earthquakes have gained importance due to their proximity to the focal regions of megathrust earthquakes. Among slow earthquakes, tectonic tremors have the highest dominant frequency and are thus best resolved.

Earth, Planets and Space, 2021 Surface waves from the 2017 M w8.2 Tehuantepec earthquake remotely triggered tectonic tremors in the Jalisco region, approximately 1000 km WNW in the northern Mexican subduction zone.

Depth and Thickness of Tectonic Tremor in the Northeastern Olympic Peninsula
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2022 AbstractTectonic 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 of the tremor source with great precision.

Tidal Response in Shallow Tectonic Tremors [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 AbstractVarious types of slow earthquakes (e.g., tectonic tremors and slow slip events) have been reported in tectonic zones, especially in the subduction zone. The tidal response of a tremor is considered to be strongly related to the weak friction state of the plate interface, and many studies have reported observational evidence of such correlation ...

Seismological Structures on Bimodal Distribution of Deep Tectonic Tremor [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 AbstractDeep 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. However, no constraint exists on the structures controlling that distribution. We extract detailed seismological structures from multi‐

Tectonic tremor as friction-induced inertial vibration
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2021 Abstract 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. In the case of a single-degree-of-freedom spring and slider system with mass per unit area M, governed by rate-and-state friction with effective normal stress σ ...
