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

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 …

Large earthquakes are thought to release strain on previously locked faults. However, the
details of how earthquakes are initiated, grow and terminate in relation to pre-seismically …

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 …

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 …

Active faults release elastic strain energy via a whole continuum of modes of slip, ranging
from devastating earthquakes to slow slip events (SSEs) and persistent creep …

Recent studies of slow earthquakes along plate boundaries have shown that tectonic tremor,
low-frequency earthquakes, very-low-frequency events (VLFEs), and slow-slip events …

Aseismic slip loading has recently been proposed as a complementary mechanism to
induce moderate-sized earthquakes located within a few kilometers of the wellbore over the …

Earthquakes start under conditions that are largely unknown. In laboratory analogue
experiments and continuum models, earthquakes transition from slow-slip**, growing …

Slow earthquakes occur at deep and shallow plate boundaries along the Nankai Trough.
Deep slow earthquakes are continuously distributed along the 30–40 km depth contours of …
