Abstract: Fluids are thought to play an important role in controlling episodic tremor and slow slip (ETS) in subduction zones. Therefore, constraining the along-dip distribution of fluids is necessary to better understand source mechanism of ETS,… read more here.

Abstract: Recent seismic and geodetic observations in subduction zones have revealed that slow earthquakes have preceded some large earthquakes. Characterization of slow earthquakes and their relation to large earthquakes provides important clues to constrain a wide… read more here.
