Understanding Slow Slip and Tremor on Plate Boundaries
Abstract
The existence of repeated episodes of slow slip (popularly referred to as slow earthquakes) has challenged the classic view of the seismic cycle in subduction zones and mechanical models of fault evolution. Slow slip is widely observed in subduction zones and continental plate boundaries. A Chapman Conference on Slow Slip Phenomena, held in February in Ixtapa, Mexico, brought together more than 110 researchers to discuss fault structure and conditions that lead to slow slip. Speakers contrasted slow slip and associated phenomena with the behaviors of regular earthquakes (Figure 1). The talks focused on geodetically observed slow slip events (SSEs), as well as seismically observed phenomena, such as tremor, low-frequency earthquakes (LFE), and very low frequency earthquakes.
