Changes of Event Size Distribution During Episodes of Shallow Tectonic Tremor, Nankai Trough

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2021
Slow earthquakes follow a power‐law size distribution with an exponential taper for the largest events. We investigated changes in the size distribution of shallow tectonic tremor events during two prolonged tremor episodes (>1 month) along the Nankai ...

Crust and upper-mantle seismic anisotropy variations from the coast to inland in central and Southern Mexico (2): Correlations with Tectonic Tremor

open access: yesGeophysical Journal International, 2021
Seismic anisotropy in the flat slab region of Mexico is compared with tectonic tremor activity. The anisotropy is observed in three separate horizontal layers using a novel technique with receiver functions.

Can tectonic events change volcanic tremor at Stromboli? [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2006
Besides the well known strombolian activity, Stromboli shows the presence of a continuous volcanic tremor. Tectonic events in the area are rare and no evidence of a local tectonic event changing the characteristics of the tremor was previously known.

The Role of Metamorphic Fluid in Tectonic Tremor Along the Alpine Fault, New Zealand

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2021
The production of H2O during metamorphism along active plate boundaries is inferred to contribute to low‐frequency tectonic tremor. This study combines predictions from phase equilibria and mechanical modeling of coincident volume changes to investigate ...

Laboratory observations of slow earthquakes and the spectrum of tectonic fault slip modes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Slow earthquakes represent an important conundrum in earthquake physics. While regular earthquakes are catastrophic events with rupture velocities governed by elastic wave speed, the processes that underlie slow fault slip phenomena, including recent ...

On the evolution of elastic properties during laboratory stick-slip experiments spanning the transition from slow slip to dynamic rupture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The physical mechanisms governing slow earthquakes remain unknown, as does the relationship between slow and regular earthquakes. To investigate the mechanism(s) of slow earthquakes and related quasi-dynamic modes of fault slip we performed laboratory ...

Cascading rupture of patches of high seismic energy release controls the growth process of episodic tremor and slip events

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2021
Slip phenomena on plate interfaces reflect the heterogeneous physical properties of the slip plane and, thus, exhibit a wide variety of slip velocities and rupture propagation behaviors.

Earthquake Size Distribution: Power-Law with Exponent Beta = 1/2? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We propose that the widely observed and universal Gutenberg-Richter relation is a mathematical consequence of the critical branching nature of earthquake process in a brittle fracture environment.

Sensitivity to lunar cycles prior to the 2007 eruption of Ruapehu volcano [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A long-standing question in Earth Science is the extent to which seismic and volcanic activity can be regulated by tidal stresses, a repeatable and predictable external excitation induced by the Moon-Sun gravitational force.
