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

Geodesy, the oldest science, has become an important discipline in the geosciences, in
large part by enhancing Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities over the last 35 years …

Recently, a series of unusual earthquake phenomena have been discovered, including
deep episodic tremor, low-frequency earthquakes, very-low-frequency earthquakes, slow …

Non-volcanic seismic tremor was discovered in the Nankai trough subduction zone in
southwest Japan and subsequently identified in the Cascadia subduction zone. In both …

It has been known for a long time that slip accompanying earthquakes accounts for only a
fraction of plate tectonic displacements. However, only recently has a fuller spectrum of …

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 …

Subduction thrust faults generate earthquakes over a limited depth range. They are aseismic
in their seaward updip portions and landward downdip of a critical point. The seaward …

Aseismic deformation transients can emerge as a natural outcome of the rate and state
friction processes revealed in laboratory fault‐sliding experiments. When that constitutive …

Silent-slip events have been detected at several subduction zones, but the cause of these
events is unknown. Using seismic imaging, we detected a cause of the Tokai silent slip …

Fault-zone fluids control effective normal stress and fault strength. While most earthquake
models assume a fixed pore fluid pressure distribution, geologists have documented fault …
