Slow earthquakes are characterized by a wide spectrum of fault slip behaviors and seismic
radiation patterns that differ from those of traditional earthquakes. However, slow …

Abstract Recent earthquakes in Chile, 2014, Mw 8.2 Iquique, 2015, Mw 8.3 Illapel and 2016,
Mw 7.6 Chiloé have put in evidence some problems with the straightforward application of …

Earthquake precursory processes have been central to scientific inquiry for nearly a century.
Recent advancements in earthquake monitoring, geodesy, and data analysis including …

Despite decades of observational, laboratory and theoretical studies, the processes leading
to large earthquake generation remain enigmatic. However, recent observations provide …

Foreshocks are not uncommon prior to large earthquakes, but their physical mechanism
remains controversial. Two interpretations have been advanced:(1) foreshocks are driven by …

Short term prediction of earthquake magnitude, time, and location is currently not possible.
In some cases, however, documented observations have been retrospectively considered …

Investigating slow earthquake activity in subduction zones provides insight into the slip
behavior of megathrusts, which can provide important clues about the rupture extent of …

The mechanisms leading to large earthquakes are poorly understood and documented.
Here we characterize the long‐term precursory phase of the 1 April 2014 Mw8. 1 North Chile …

Earthquakes start under conditions that are largely unknown. In laboratory analogue
experiments and continuum models, earthquakes transition from slow-slip**, growing …

Since emerging in Brazil in 1985, wheat blast has spread throughout South America and
recently appeared in Bangladesh and Zambia. Here we show that two wheat resistance …
