The deformation regime that accommodates tectonic motion at plate boundaries changes as pressures and temperatures increase with depth, transitioning from the shallow frictional sliding of seismic ruptures to deep, viscous flow. We use recurring …
Low Frequency Earthquakes (LFEs) often occur in conjunction with transient strain episodes, or Slow Slip Events (SSEs), in subduction zones. Their focal mechanism and location consistent with shear failure on the plate interface argue for a model …
Referred to as slow slip events, the transient aseismic slip that occurs along plate boundaries can be indirectly characterized through colocated seismicity, such as tectonic tremor and low-frequency earthquakes (LFEs). Using the timing of cataloged …
