An integrated perspective of the continuum between earthquakes and slow-slip phenomena

Z Peng, J Gomberg - Nature geoscience, 2010 - nature.com
The discovery of slow-slip phenomena has revolutionized our understanding of how faults
accommodate relative plate motions. Faults were previously thought to relieve stress either …

From geodetic imaging of seismic and aseismic fault slip to dynamic modeling of the seismic cycle

JP Avouac - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2015 - annualreviews.org
Understanding the partitioning of seismic and aseismic fault slip is central to seismotectonics
as it ultimately determines the seismic potential of faults. Thanks to advances in tectonic …

Deformation cycles of subduction earthquakes in a viscoelastic Earth

K Wang, Y Hu, J He - Nature, 2012 - nature.com
Subduction zones produce the largest earthquakes. Over the past two decades, space
geodesy has revolutionized our view of crustal deformation between consecutive …

Coseismic Slip and Afterslip of the Great Mw 9.15 Sumatra–Andaman Earthquake of 2004

M Chlieh, JP Avouac… - Bulletin of the …, 2007 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
We determine coseismic and the first-month postseismic deformation associated with the
Sumatra–Andaman earthquake of 26 December 2004 from near-field Global Positioning …

Seismic and aseismic slip on the Central Peru megathrust

H Perfettini, JP Avouac, H Tavera, A Kositsky… - Nature, 2010 - nature.com
Slip on a subduction megathrust can be seismic or aseismic, with the two modes of slip
complementing each other in time and space to accommodate the long-term plate motions …

A viscoelastic and afterslip postseismic deformation model for the 1964 Alaska earthquake

H Suito, JT Freymueller - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
We developed a 3‐D viscoelastic model, in concert with an afterslip model, to describe the
postseismic deformation following the 1964 Alaska earthquake. Our model incorporates a …

Interseismic coupling, segmentation and mechanical behavior of the central Chile subduction zone

M Métois, A Socquet, C Vigny - Journal of Geophysical …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements carried out in Chile over the last two
decades showed that an entire portion of the Nazca‐South America subduction zone (38° …

Modeling afterslip and aftershocks following the 1992 Landers earthquake

H Perfettini, JP Avouac - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
One way to probe the rheology of the lithosphere and fault zones is to analyze the temporal
evolution of deformation following a large earthquake. In such a case, the lithosphere …

Seismicity structure of the northern Chile forearc from> 100,000 double‐difference relocated hypocenters

C Sippl, B Schurr, G Asch… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
In this study, we present high‐resolution seismicity images of the northern Chile subduction
zone forearc. We used 8 years of continuous seismic waveform data from the Integrated …

Revisiting the North Chile seismic gap segmentation using GPS-derived interseismic coupling
