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

Understanding the partitioning of seismic and aseismic fault slip is central to seismotectonics
as it ultimately determines the seismic potential of faults. Thanks to advances in tectonic …

Many large earthquakes are preceded by one or more foreshocks, but it is unclear how
these foreshocks relate to the nucleation process of the mainshock. On the basis of an …

Aseismic deformation transients can emerge as a natural outcome of the rate and state
friction processes revealed in laboratory fault‐sliding experiments. When that constitutive …

Ultimately, seismotectonic studies seek to provide ways of assessing the timing, magnitude
and spatial extent of future earthquakes. Ample observations document the spatial variability …

We determine coseismic and the first-month postseismic deformation associated with the
Sumatra–Andaman earthquake of 26 December 2004 from near-field Global Positioning …

Abstract The Sumatra–Andaman earthquake of 26 December 2004 is the first giant
earthquake (moment magnitude M w> 9.0) to have occurred since the advent of modern …

One way to probe earthquake nucleation processes and the relation between stress buildup
and seismicity is to analyze the sensitivity of seismicity to stress perturbations. Here, we …

We developed a 3‐D viscoelastic model, in concert with an afterslip model, to describe the
postseismic deformation following the 1964 Alaska earthquake. Our model incorporates a …

The present status of research and understanding regarding the dynamics and the statistical
properties of earthquakes is reviewed, mainly from a statistical physical viewpoint. Emphasis …
