Physical applications of GPS geodesy: A review

Y Bock, D Melgar - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2016‏ - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Slow earthquakes and nonvolcanic tremor

GC Beroza, S Ide - Annual review of Earth and planetary …, 2011‏ - annualreviews.org
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 …

Dilatant strengthening as a mechanism for slow slip events

P Segall, AM Rubin, AM Bradley… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2010‏ - Wiley Online Library
The mechanics of slow slip events (SSE) in subduction zones remain unresolved. We
suggest that SSE nucleate in areas of unstable friction under drained conditions, but as slip …

Episodic slow slip events and rate‐and‐state friction

AM Rubin - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2008‏ - Wiley Online Library
There are several ways of generating episodic slow slip events in models of rate‐and‐state
friction. Here I explore the possibility that they arise on velocity‐weakening faults whose …

Central Cascadia subduction zone creep

GM Schmalzle, R McCaffrey… - Geochemistry …, 2014‏ - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Central Cascadia between 43° N and 46° N has reduced interseismic uplift
observed in geodetic data and coseismic subsidence seen in multiple thrust earthquakes …

Automated detection and location of Cascadia tremor

AG Wech, KC Creager - Geophysical Research Letters, 2008‏ - Wiley Online Library
A new autonomous seismic location and detection methodology enables real‐time
opportunities for high‐resolution spatio‐temporal monitoring of non‐volcanic tremor …

Afterslip and aftershocks in the rate‐and‐state friction law

A Helmstetter, BE Shaw - Journal of geophysical Research …, 2009‏ - Wiley Online Library
We study how a stress perturbation generated by a main shock affects a fault obeying the
rate‐state friction law using a simple slider block system. Depending on the model …

Interseismic uplift rates for western Oregon and along‐strike variation in locking on the Cascadia subduction zone

RJ Burgette, RJ Weldon… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2009‏ - Wiley Online Library
We quantify the spatial pattern of uplift rate in western Oregon and northernmost California
using tidal and leveling records to better understand the pattern of interseismic locking on …

Variety and spatial heterogeneity of tectonic tremor worldwide

S Ide - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2012‏ - Wiley Online Library
Deep tectonic tremor occurs at various sites worldwide, and the source characteristics are
heterogeneous, even at small scales. In this study, tremor sources were determined using …

Teleseismic constraints on the geological environment of deep episodic slow earthquakes in subduction zone forearcs: A review

P Audet, YH Kim - Tectonophysics, 2016‏ - Elsevier
More than a decade after the discovery of deep episodic slow slip and tremor, or slow
earthquakes, at subduction zones, much research has been carried out to investigate the …
