What's down there? The structures, materials and environment of deep-seated slow slip and tremor

WM Behr, R Bürgmann - Philosophical Transactions of …, 2021 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Deep-seated slow slip and tremor (SST), including slow slip events, episodic tremor and
slip, and low-frequency earthquakes, occur downdip of the seismogenic zone of numerous …

Hydrogeology and mechanics of subduction zone forearcs: Fluid flow and pore pressure

DM Saffer, HJ Tobin - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary …, 2011 - annualreviews.org
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 …

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 …

[HTML][HTML] Subduction zone megathrust earthquakes

SL Bilek, T Lay - Geosphere, 2018 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
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 …

Invited review paper: Some outstanding issues in the study of great megathrust earthquakes—The Cascadia example

K Wang, AM Tréhu - Journal of Geodynamics, 2016 - Elsevier
Because of a combination of new observational tools and a flurry of large megathrust
earthquakes, tremendous progress has been made in recent years towards understanding …

[HTML][HTML] Initial effective stress controls the nature of earthquakes

FX Passelègue, M Almakari, P Dublanchet… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Modern geophysics highlights that the slip behaviour response of faults is variable in space
and time and can result in slow or fast ruptures. However, the origin of this variation of the …

Thermal–petrological controls on the location of earthquakes within subducting plates

GA Abers, J Nakajima, PE van Keken, S Kita… - Earth and Planetary …, 2013 - Elsevier
We find that in young and warm subducting plates, earthquakes occur just below the Moho.
In older plates, earthquakes occur throughout the subducting oceanic crust, as well as the …

Rheological separation of the megathrust seismogenic zone and episodic tremor and slip

X Gao, K Wang - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
Episodic tremor and accompanying slow slip, together called ETS, is most often observed in
subduction zones of young and warm subducting slabs,,. ETS should help us to understand …

Fluid overpressure from chemical reactions in serpentinite within the source region of deep episodic tremor

MS Tarling, SAF Smith, JM Scott - Nature Geoscience, 2019 - nature.com
Slow fault slip includes a range of transient phenomena that occur over timescales longer
than those of standard earthquakes. Slow slip events are often closely associated with …

Striations, duration, migration and tidal response in deep tremor

S Ide - Nature, 2010 - nature.com
Deep tremor in subduction zones is thought to be caused by small repeating shear slip
events on the plate interface with significant slow components,,,. It occurs at a depth of about …
