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 …

We describe two transient slow slip events that occurred before the 2011 Tohoku-Oki
earthquake. The first transient crustal deformation, which occurred over a period of a week in …

We report on the very-low-frequency earthquakes occurring in the transition zone of the
subducting plate interface along the Nankai subduction zone in southwest Japan. Seismic …

We expand the theory of critically tapered Coulomb wedge for accretionary prisms by
considering stress changes in subduction earthquake cycles. Building on the Coulomb …

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 …

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

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 …

Slow slip forms part of the spectrum of fault behaviour between stable creep and destructive
earthquakes,. Slow slip occurs near the boundaries of large earthquake rupture zones, and …

At subduction zones, convergence between the two plates at shallow levels was thought to
occur aseismically, accommodated by asiesmic slip along either the megathrust plate …
