Slow earthquakes and nonvolcanic tremor

GC Beroza, S Ide - Annual review of Earth and planetary …, 2011 - annualreviews.org
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 …

J Gomberg… - …, 2010 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Recent technological advances combined with more detailed analyses of seismologic and
geodetic observations have fundamentally changed our understanding of the ways in which …

A continuum of stress, strength and slip in the Cascadia subduction zone

AG Wech, KC Creager - Nature Geoscience, 2011 - nature.com
As oceanic lithosphere subducts beneath continental lithosphere it experiences variable
degrees of interaction with the overriding plate and movement is accommodated by a …

Automated detection and location of Cascadia tremor

AG Wech, KC Creager - Geophysical Research Letters, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
A new autonomous seismic location and detection methodology enables real‐time
opportunities for high‐resolution spatio‐temporal monitoring of non‐volcanic tremor …

Deep low‐frequency earthquakes in tremor localize to the plate interface in multiple subduction zones

JR Brown, GC Beroza, S Ide, K Ohta… - Geophysical …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Deep tremor under Shikoku, Japan, consists primarily, and perhaps entirely, of swarms of
low‐frequency earthquakes (LFEs) that occur as shear slip on the plate interface. Although …

Remote triggering of tremor along the San Andreas Fault in central California

Z Peng, JE Vidale, AG Wech… - Journal of …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
We perform a systematic survey of triggered tremor along the San Andreas Fault in central
California for the 31 teleseismic earthquakes with Mw≥ 7.5 since 2001. We identify 10 …

Geologic heterogeneity can produce aseismic slip transients

RM Skarbek, AW Rempel… - Geophysical Research …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Slow slip and tectonic tremor in subduction zones take place at depths where there is
abundant evidence for distributed shear over broad zones (∼ 10–103 m) composed of rocks …

Migrating tremors illuminate complex deformation beneath the seismogenic San Andreas fault

DR Shelly - Nature, 2010 - nature.com
Abstract The San Andreas fault is one of the most extensively studied faults in the world, yet
its physical character and deformation mode beneath the relatively shallow earthquake …

Gravity anomalies, crustal structure, and seismicity at subduction zones: 2. Interrelationships between fore‐arc structure and seismogenic behavior

D Bassett, AB Watts - Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
An ensemble‐averaging technique is used to remove the long‐wavelength topography and
gravity field associated with subduction zones. Short‐wavelength residual anomalies are …

Time‐dependent inversion of three‐component continuous GPS for steady and transient sources in northern Cascadia

R McCaffrey - Geophysical Research Letters, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
An approach to invert GPS time series to estimate crustal block rotations, fault locking and
strain rates while simultaneously solving for transient slow slip events is described and …
