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 …

Slow earthquakes are episodic slow fault slips. They form a fundamental component of
interplate deformation processes, along with fast, regular earthquakes. Recent …

The existence of an observable precursory phase of slip on the fault before large
earthquakes has been debated for decades. Although observations preceding several large …

Deep-seated slow slip and tremor (SST), including slow slip events, episodic tremor and
slip, and low-frequency earthquakes, occur downdip of the seismogenic zone of numerous …

The discovery of slow-slip phenomena has revolutionized our understanding of how faults
accommodate relative plate motions. Faults were previously thought to relieve stress either …

Nonvolcanic tremor is observed in close association with geodetically observed slow-slip
events in subduction zones. Accumulating evidence points to these events as members of a …

Slow slip events have become recognized in the last decade as an important mode of fault
slip, and are most widely observed at subduction zones. Many episodes of tectonic tremor …

Subduction of hydrated oceanic lithosphere can carry water deep into the Earth, with
consequences for a range of tectonic and magmatic processes. Most of the fluid is released …

Dynamic triggering of earthquakes by seismic waves is a robustly observed phenomenon
with well-documented examples from over 30 major earthquakes. We are now in a position …

Since its initial discovery nearly a decade ago, non-volcanic tremor has provided information
about a region of the Earth that was previously thought incapable of generating seismic …
