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 …

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 …

Among the wide range of thermal, petrologic, hydrological, and structural factors that
potentially affect subduction earthquakes, the roughness of the subducting seafloor is …

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 …

Seamount subduction is a common process in subduction zone tectonics. Contradicting a
widely held expectation that subducting seamounts generate large earthquakes, seamounts …

The installation of a continuous GPS (cGPS) network in New Zealand since 2002 has
enabled the discovery of 15 slow slip events at the Hikurangi subduction margin. Our …

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 …

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 …

Subduction zone megathrust faults host Earth's largest earthquakes, along with multitudes of
smaller events that contribute to plate convergence. An understanding of the faulting …
