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 …

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 …

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 slip events have become recognized in the last decade as an important mode of fault
slip, and are most widely observed at subduction zones. Many episodes of tectonic tremor …

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 …

The seismicity pattern along the San Andreas fault near Parkfield and Cholame, California,
varies distinctly over a length of only fifty kilometres. Within the brittle crust, the presence of …

Dynamic triggering of earthquakes by seismic waves is a robustly observed phenomenon
with well-documented examples from over 30 major earthquakes. We are now in a position …

Episodic tremor and accompanying slow slip, together called ETS, is most often observed in
subduction zones of young and warm subducting slabs,,. ETS should help us to understand …

The recognition of slow earthquakes in geodetic and seismological data has transformed the
understanding of how plate motions are accommodated at major plate boundaries. Slow …

The passage of radiating seismic waves generates transient stresses in the Earth's crust that
can trigger slip on faults far away from the original earthquake source. The triggered fault …
