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 …

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 …

I am grateful to the many people who played a part in the evolution of this book: my
colleagues David McGlynn and Jerald Podair; Princeton University Press editors Eric …

Abstract The Geodesy Advancing Geosciences and EarthScope (GAGE) Facility Global
Positioning System (GPS) Data Analysis Centers produce position time series, velocities …

The origin of rupture segmentation along subduction zone megathrusts and linkages to the
structural evolution of the subduction zone are poorly understood. Here, regional-scale …

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 …

The mechanics of slow slip events (SSE) in subduction zones remain unresolved. We
suggest that SSE nucleate in areas of unstable friction under drained conditions, but as slip …

After more than 100 years of earthquake research, earthquake forecasting, which relies on
knowledge of past fault rupture patterns, has become the foundation for societal defense …

Subduction zone megathrust faults host Earth's largest earthquakes, along with multitudes of
smaller events that contribute to plate convergence. An understanding of the faulting …

Because of a combination of new observational tools and a flurry of large megathrust
earthquakes, tremendous progress has been made in recent years towards understanding …
