Short-and long-term processes at or close to the subduction plate interface (eg, mineral
transformations, fluid release, seismicity and more generally deformation) might be more …

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 …

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 …

This paper reviews laboratory observations of earthquake initiation and describes new
experiments on a 3‐m rock sample where the nucleation process is imaged in detail. Many …

The range of fault slip behaviors near the trench at subduction plate boundaries is critical to
know, as this is where the world's largest, most damaging tsunamis are generated. Our …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

The discovery of slow earthquakes has revolutionized the field of earthquake seismology.
Defining the locations of these events and the conditions that favor their occurrence provides …

Most destructive tsunamis are caused by seismic slip on the shallow part of offshore
megathrusts. The likelihood of this behaviour is partly determined by the interseismic slip …

The interface between subducting oceanic slabs and the hanging wall is a structurally and
lithologically complex region. Chemically disparate lithologies (sedimentary, mafic and …

A growing body of observations worldwide has documented fault slip transients that radiate
little or no seismic energy. The mechanisms that govern these slow slip events (SSEs) and …
