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 …

Characteristics and interactions between non-volcanic tremor and related slow earthquakes in the Nankai subduction zone, southwest Japan

K Obara - Journal of Geodynamics, 2011 - Elsevier
Non-volcanic tremor and related slow earthquakes in subduction zones are one of the most

Depth‐varying rupture properties of subduction zone megathrust faults

T Lay, H Kanamori, CJ Ammon… - Journal of …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Subduction zone plate boundary megathrust faults accommodate relative plate motions with
spatially varying sliding behavior. The 2004 Sumatra‐Andaman (Mw 9.2), 2010 Chile (Mw …

Seafloor observations indicate spatial separation of coseismic and postseismic slips in the 2011 Tohoku earthquake

T Iinuma, R Hino, N Uchida, W Nakamura… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
Large interplate earthquakes are often followed by postseismic slip that is considered to
occur in areas surrounding the coseismic ruptures. Such spatial separation is expected from …

Frictional and structural controls of seismic super-cycles at the Japan trench

S Barbot - Earth, Planets and Space, 2020 - Springer
The diverse mechanical behaviors of subduction zones during the seismic cycle emerge
from the nonlinear dynamics of a complex mechanical system with interacting brittle and …

Evidence of a transient aseismic slip driving the 2017 Valparaiso earthquake sequence, from foreshocks to aftershocks

L Moutote, Y Itoh, O Lengliné… - … Research: Solid Earth, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Following laboratory experiments and friction theory, slow slip events and seismicity rate
accelerations observed before mainshocks are sometimes interpreted as evidence of a …

Source model of the great 2011 Tohoku earthquake estimated from tsunami waveforms and crustal deformation data

AR Gusman, Y Tanioka, S Sakai, H Tsushima - Earth and Planetary Science …, 2012 - Elsevier
The slip distribution of the 11 March 2011 Tohoku earthquake is inferred from tsunami
waveforms, GPS data, and seafloor crustal deformation data. The major slip region extends …

Coseismic slip distribution of the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake (M 9.0) estimated based on GPS data—Was the asperity in Miyagi-oki ruptured?

T Iinuma, M Ohzono, Y Ohta, S Miura - Earth, planets and space, 2011 - Springer
We investigated the crustal deformation associated with the 2011 off the Pacific coast of
Tohoku Earthquake (M 9.0) that occurred on March 11, 2011, along the plate boundary off …

Afterslip moment scaling and variability from a global compilation of estimates

RM Churchill, MJ Werner, J Biggs… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Aseismic afterslip is postseismic fault sliding that may significantly redistribute crustal
stresses and drive aftershock sequences. Afterslip is typically modeled through geodetic …
