Tectonic tremor and deep slow slip on the Alpine Fault [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical 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.

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

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2021
Abstract Tectonic tremor has been observed at the roots of many fault systems around the Pacific rim, including convergent and transform plate boundaries. The extent to which deep tremor signals are prevalent along fault systems elsewhere, including the Mediterranean basin, has not yet been documented in detail.

Variety and spatial heterogeneity of tectonic tremor worldwide [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2012
Deep tectonic tremor occurs at various sites worldwide, and the source characteristics are heterogeneous, even at small scales. In this study, tremor sources were determined using data sets of seismic waveforms from various locations, some of which are not well recognized as being a site of tremor activity.

Crustal anisotropy from tectonic tremor in Guerrero, Mexico

open access: yesGeochemistry, 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 ...

Experimental constraints on the controlling mechanisms of tectonic tremors

2023
Tectonic (or non-volcanic) tremors have been extensively documented at subduction zones and are considered as the signature of transport processes of dehydration-related fluids in subduction zones, often recorded in close association with geodetically observed shear induced slow-slip events. However, to the best of our knowledge, they have not yet been

Tidal sensitivity of tectonic tremors in Nankai and Cascadia subduction zones [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2015
AbstractTectonic tremors in subduction zones, which result from slip at the deep plate interface, are known to exhibit a 12.4 h periodicity in their activity, due to tidal influence. Because tidal stress can be calculated quantitatively, the response of the plate interface can yield quantitative information about its frictional property.

Tectonic Tremor Recorded by Ocean Bottom Seismometers

Seismological Research Letters, 2013
Widespread observations of tremor and slow slip in different tectonic environments (Rubinstein et al. , 2009; Schwartz and Rokosky, 2007) reveal that these newly recognized processes play fundamental roles in accommodating and marking fault motion. Understanding the relationship between fault dynamics, stable (slow) slip, and more rapid earthquake ...

Continental crust anisotropy measurements from tectonic tremor in Cascadia

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2017
AbstractWe present new observations of crustal anisotropy in the southern Cascadia fore arc from tectonic tremor. The abundance of tremor activity in Oregon and northern California during slow‐slip events offers an enormous amount of information with which to measure and analyze anisotropy in the upper brittle continental crust.
