A review on slow earthquakes in the Japan Trench

T Nishikawa, S Ide, T Nishimura - Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2023 - Springer
Slow earthquakes are episodic slow fault slips. They form a fundamental component of
interplate deformation processes, along with fast, regular earthquakes. Recent …

The geophysics, geology and mechanics of slow fault slip

R Bürgmann - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2018 - Elsevier
Modern geodetic and seismologic observations describe the behavior of fault slip over a
vast range of spatial and temporal scales. Slip at sub-seismogenic speeds is evident from …

Episodic transient deformation revealed by the analysis of multiple GNSS networks in the Noto Peninsula, central Japan

T Nishimura, Y Hiramatsu, Y Ohta - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
Abstract Since November 30, 2020, an intense seismic swarm and transient deformation
have been continuously observed in the Noto Peninsula, central Japan, which is a non …

Laboratory observations of slow earthquakes and the spectrum of tectonic fault slip modes

JR Leeman, DM Saffer, MM Scuderi… - Nature communications, 2016 - nature.com
Slow earthquakes represent an important conundrum in earthquake physics. While regular
earthquakes are catastrophic events with rupture velocities governed by elastic wave speed …

The precursory phase of large earthquakes

Q Bletery, JM Nocquet - Science, 2023 - science.org
The existence of an observable precursory phase of slip on the fault before large
earthquakes has been debated for decades. Although observations preceding several large …

Slow earthquake scaling reconsidered as a boundary between distinct modes of rupture propagation

S Ide, GC Beroza - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023 - pnas.org
The scaling law for slow earthquakes, which is a linear relationship between seismic
moment and duration, was proposed 15 y ago and initiated a debate on the difference in …
