Slow earthquakes and nonvolcanic tremor
Nonvolcanic tremor is observed in close association with geodetically observed slow-slip
events in subduction zones. Accumulating evidence points to these events as members of a …

Dilatant strengthening as a mechanism for slow slip events
The mechanics of slow slip events (SSE) in subduction zones remain unresolved. We
suggest that SSE nucleate in areas of unstable friction under drained conditions, but as slip …

Strength of stick-slip and creeping subduction megathrusts from heat flow observations
X Gao, K Wang - Science, 2014 - science.org
Subduction faults, called megathrusts, can generate large and hazardous earthquakes. The
mode of slip and seismicity of a megathrust is controlled by the structural complexity of the …
