Slow earthquakes are episodic slow fault slips. They form a fundamental component of
interplate deformation processes, along with fast, regular earthquakes. Recent …

The recognition of slow earthquakes in geodetic and seismological data has transformed the
understanding of how plate motions are accommodated at major plate boundaries. Slow …

Plate motion on shallow subduction megathrusts is accommodated by a spectrum of tectonic
slip modes. However, the frictional properties and conditions that sustain these diverse slip …

Cataclasites are a characteristic rock type found in drill cores from active faults as well as in
exposed fossil subduction faults. Here, cataclasites are commonly associated with evidence …

The shallowest regions of subduction megathrusts mainly deform aseismically, but they can
sporadically host slow-slip events (SSEs) and tsunami earthquakes, thus representing a …

The effect of normal stress variations on fault frictional strength has been extensively
characterized in laboratory experiments and modelling studies based on a rate-and-state …

Establishing a constitutive law for fault friction is a crucial objective of earthquake science.
However, the complex frictional behavior of natural and synthetic gouges in laboratory …

The episodic transient fault slips called slow slip events (SSEs) have been observed in
many subduction zones. These slips often occur in regions adjacent to the seismogenic …

Geodetically constrained interseismic interplate coupling has been widely used to assess
seismic potential in subduction zones. Modeling interseismic deformation is challenging, as …

Either the triggering of large earthquakes on a fault hosting aseismic slip or the triggering of
slow slip events (SSE) by passing seismic waves involve seismological questions with …
