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 …

The geophysics, geology and mechanics of slow fault slip

R Bürgmann - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2018 - Elsevier
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 earthquake scaling reconsidered as a boundary between distinct modes of rupture propagation

S Ide, GC Beroza - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
The scaling law for slow earthquakes, which is a linear relationship between seismic
moment and duration, was proposed 15 y ago and initiated a debate on the difference in …

The slow earthquake spectrum in the Japan Trench illuminated by the S-net seafloor observatories

T Nishikawa, T Matsuzawa, K Ohta, N Uchida… - Science, 2019 - science.org

Global subduction slow slip events and associated earthquakes

K Dascher-Cousineau, R Bürgmann - Science Advances, 2024 - science.org
Three decades of geodetic monitoring have established slow slip events (SSEs) as a
common mode of fault slip, sometimes linked with earthquake swarms and in a few cases …

CB Condit, VE Guevara, JR Delph… - Earth and Planetary …, 2020 - Elsevier
Non-volcanic tremor (NVT) and episodic slow slip events (SSEs) have been observed below
the seismogenic zone of relatively warm subduction zones for the past 20 years …

Shallow slow slip events along the Nankai Trough detected by GNSS-A

Y Yokota, T Ishikawa - Science Advances, 2020 - science.org
Various slow earthquakes (SEQs), including tremors, very low frequency events, and slow
slip events (SSEs), occur along megathrust zones. In a shallow plate boundary region …

Low friction and fault weakening revealed by rising sensitivity of tremor to tidal stress

H Houston - Nature Geoscience, 2015 - nature.com
At subduction zones, the level of friction on the deep part of the plate boundary fault controls
stress accumulation and release, which govern the transfer of stress to the shallower, locked …
