Laboratory Hydrofractures as Analogs to Tectonic Tremors

AGU Advances
The fracture of Earth materials occurs over a wide range of time and length scales. Physical conditions, particularly the stress field and Earth material properties, may condition rupture in a specific fracture regime.

Role of plate convergence rate in shaping earthquake recurrence in subduction zones [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Understanding 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.

Event Size Distribution of Shallow Tectonic Tremor in the Nankai Trough [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
Slow earthquake size distributions have been found to follow either a power law or an exponential law, depending on the data set. We investigated the size distribution of shallow tectonic tremor events along the Nankai trough, southwestern Japan ...

Characteristic Tectonic Tremor Activity Observed Over Multiple Slow Slip Cycles in the Mexican Subduction Zone

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2019
We develop a single‐station tremor spectrum template detection method that we applied to continuous seismic data recorded by the Mexican National Seismological Service broadband stations.

Spatiotemporal Characteristics of Tectonic Tremors in the Collisional Orogen of Taiwan

Geophysical Research Letters
Taiwan offers a distinctive tectonic setting as a collisional orogen, ideal for studying tectonic tremors and the slow deformation process in the mountain‐building process.

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 ...

Tackling the challenges of tectonic tremor localization using differential traveltimes and Bayesian inversion

Geophysical Journal International, 2023
Episodic tremor and slip events in Northern Cascadia produce low-frequency, emergent seismic signals, often referred to as tectonic tremor. Methods designed to locate tremor face two challenges that increase the likelihood of producing low quality ...

Spatiotemporal evolution of tremor activity near the Nankai Trough trench axis inferred from the spatial distribution of seismic amplitudes

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.

Tectonic tremors in the Northern Mexican subduction zone remotely triggered by the 2017 M w8.2 Tehuantepec earthquake

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.

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 ...
