A review on slow earthquakes in the Japan Trench

T Nishikawa, S Ide, T Nishimura - Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2023 - Springer
Slow earthquakes are episodic slow fault slips. They form a fundamental component of
interplate deformation processes, along with fast, regular earthquakes. Recent …

Slow slip source characterized by lithological and geometric heterogeneity

PM Barnes, LM Wallace, DM Saffer, RE Bell… - Science …, 2020 - science.org
Slow slip events (SSEs) accommodate a significant proportion of tectonic plate motion at
subduction zones, yet little is known about the faults that actually host them. The shallow …

Episodic stress and fluid pressure cycling in subducting oceanic crust during slow slip

E Warren-Smith, B Fry, L Wallace, E Chon… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
Slow slip events are part of a spectrum of aseismic processes that relieve tectonic stress on
faults. Their spatial distribution in subduction zones has been linked to perturbations in fluid …

Mechanical and hydrological effects of seamount subduction on megathrust stress and slip

T Sun, D Saffer, S Ellis - Nature Geoscience, 2020 - nature.com
Subduction of rough seafloor and seamounts is thought to impact a broad range of
geodynamic processes, including megathrust slip behaviour, forearc fluid flow and long-term …

Subducting volcaniclastic-rich upper crust supplies fluids for shallow megathrust and slow slip

AC Gase, NL Bangs, DM Saffer, S Han, PK Miller… - Science …, 2023 - science.org
Recurring slow slip along near-trench megathrust faults occurs at many subduction zones,
but for unknown reasons, this process is not universal. Fluid overpressures are implicated in …

Geological constraints on the mechanisms of slow earthquakes

JD Kirkpatrick, Å Fagereng, DR Shelly - Nature Reviews Earth & …, 2021 - nature.com
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 …

Geophysical constraints on the relationship between seamount subduction, slow slip, and tremor at the north Hikurangi subduction zone, New Zealand

DHN Barker, S Henrys… - Geophysical …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
We use a prestack depth migration reflection image and magnetic anomaly data across the
northern Hikurangi subduction zone, New Zealand, to constrain plate boundary structure …

HR Shaddox, SY Schwartz - Geology, 2019 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Fluid migration and pore fluid pressure have been implicated in generating the transitional
fault zone properties thought to be important for slow slip events (SSEs) in subduction …

R Plata-Martínez, S Ide, M Shinohara, ES Garcia… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
The Guerrero seismic gap is presumed to be a major source of seismic and tsunami hazard
along the Mexican subduction zone. Until recently, there were limited observations at the …
