Low-frequency earthquakes in Shikoku, Japan, and their relationship to episodic tremor and slip

DR Shelly, GC Beroza, S Ide, S Nakamula - Nature, 2006 - nature.com
Non-volcanic seismic tremor was discovered in the Nankai trough subduction zone in

The Moho in subduction zones

MG Bostock - Tectonophysics, 2013 - Elsevier
The Moho in subduction zones exists in two distinct forms, one associated with the
subducting oceanic plate and second with the overriding plate. The seismic expression of …

Non-volcanic deep low-frequency tremors accompanying slow slips in the southwest Japan subduction zone

K Obara, H Hirose - Tectonophysics, 2006 - Elsevier
Non-volcanic deep low-frequency tremors in southwest Japan exhibit a strong temporal and
spatial correlation with slow slip detected by the dense seismic network. The tremor signal is …

Spatial distribution of scattering loss and intrinsic absorption of short-period S waves in the lithosphere of Japan on the basis of the Multiple Lapse Time Window …

E Carcolé, H Sato - Geophysical Journal International, 2010 - academic.oup.com
