Coastal subsidence contributes to relative sea-level rise and exacerbates flooding hazards,
with the at-risk population expected to triple by 2070. Natural processes of vertical land …

To address the question of the initiation and mechanisms involved in the process of
subduction zone formation, we explored most of the available evidence for the subduction …

Modern geodetic and seismologic observations describe the behavior of fault slip over a
vast range of spatial and temporal scales. Slip at sub-seismogenic speeds is evident from …

Slow earthquakes represent an important conundrum in earthquake physics. While regular
earthquakes are catastrophic events with rupture velocities governed by elastic wave speed …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

Earthquakes occur mainly on active faults. Fault slip is closely related to seismicity and is
thus widely discussed in Geosciences, Seismology, and Engineering. Slip experiment is a …

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 …

At subduction zones, fluid flow, pore pressure, and tectonic processes are tightly
interconnected. Excess pore pressure is driven by tectonic loading and fluids released by …

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 …
