Despite decades of observational, laboratory and theoretical studies, the processes leading
to large earthquake generation remain enigmatic. However, recent observations provide …

The recognition of a previously unknown spectrum of slow earthquake phenomena has
ignited one of the most dynamic fields in modern seismology and fault mechanics. These …

Subduction zones are home to the most seismically active faults on the planet. The shallow
megathrust interfaces of subduction zones host Earth's largest earthquakes and are likely …

The range of fault slip behaviors near the trench at subduction plate boundaries is critical to
know, as this is where the world's largest, most damaging tsunamis are generated. Our …

The discovery of slow earthquakes has revolutionized the field of earthquake seismology.
Defining the locations of these events and the conditions that favor their occurrence provides …

Investigating slow earthquake activity in subduction zones provides insight into the slip
behavior of megathrusts, which can provide important clues about the rupture extent of …

Continuously operating global positioning system sites in the North Island of New Zealand
have revealed a diverse range of slow motion earthquakes on the Hikurangi subduction …

Long records often show large earthquakes occurring in supercycles, sequences of
temporal clusters of seismicity, cumulative displacement, and cumulative strain release …

At subduction zones, transient aseismic slip occurs either as afterslip following a large
earthquake or as episodic slow slip events during the interseismic period. Afterslip and slow …

In this study we first summarize the constraints that on the Cascadia subduction thrust, there
is a 70 km gap downdip between the megathrust seismogenic zone and the Episodic …
