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 …

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

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, the passage of time changes in a gravitational
field,. On Earth, raising a clock by 1 cm increases its apparent tick rate by 1.1 parts in 1018 …

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

Abstract The 2011 March 11 Tohoku-oki great (Mw 9.1) earthquake ruptured the plate
boundary megathrust fault offshore of northern Honshu with estimates of shallow slip of 50 m …

Abstract The 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku‐oki earthquake is one of the world's best‐recorded
ruptures. In the aftermath of this devastating event, it is important to learn from the complete …

Afterslip is commonly thought to be the controlling process in postseismic deformation
immediately following a great megathrust earthquake and is usually inferred from geodetic …

Megathrust earthquakes are responsible for some of the most devastating natural disasters.
To better understand the physical mechanisms of earthquake generation, subduction zones …

We detected 24 long‐term slow slip events (SSEs) in the western Nankai subduction zone,
Japan, from 1996 to 2017 using a newly developed method: grid‐based determination of …

Numerous observations pertaining to the magnitude 9.0 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake
(offshore Japan) have led to new understanding of subduction zone earthquakes. By …
