Deformation cycles of subduction earthquakes in a viscoelastic Earth
Subduction zones produce the largest earthquakes. Over the past two decades, space
geodesy has revolutionized our view of crustal deformation between consecutive …

Slow slip events and seismic tremor at circum‐Pacific subduction zones
SY Schwartz, JM Rokosky - Reviews of Geophysics, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Prevalence of viscoelastic relaxation after the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake
After a large subduction earthquake, crustal deformation continues to occur, with a complex
pattern of evolution. This postseismic deformation is due primarily to viscoelastic relaxation …

Slip distribution of the February 27, 2010 Mw= 8.8 Maule earthquake, central Chile, from static and high‐rate GPS, InSAR, and broadband teleseismic data
B Delouis, JM Nocquet, M Vallée - Geophysical Research …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
The shallow depth underthrust earthquake of February 27, 2010 (Mw 8.8) ruptured the
subduction plate interface in central Chile between 34° S and 38° S. We retrieve the spatial …

Strength of stick-slip and creeping subduction megathrusts from heat flow observations
X Gao, K Wang - Science, 2014 - science.org
Subduction faults, called megathrusts, can generate large and hazardous earthquakes. The
mode of slip and seismicity of a megathrust is controlled by the structural complexity of the …

Partial rupture of a locked patch of the Sumatra megathrust during the 2007 earthquake sequence
Abstract The great Sumatra–Andaman earthquake and tsunami of 2004 was a dramatic
reminder of the importance of understanding the seismic and tsunami hazards of subduction …

Heterogeneous coupling of the Sumatran megathrust constrained by geodetic and paleogeodetic measurements
Geodetic and paleogeodetic measurements of interseismic strain above the Sumatran
portion of the Sunda subduction zone reveal a heterogeneous pattern of coupling. Annual …
