AGU Chapman Conference on Slow Slip Phenomena

Slow slip phenomena, which include slow slip events (SSE), tectonic tremor (TT), low frequency earthquakes (LFE), and very low frequency earthquakes (VLF), have now been observed in most subduction zones with dense geodetic and seismic networks and along some major crustal faults. Slow slip processes are now viewed by the seismological community as a crucial aspect of fault mechanics. Previous conferences dedicated to slow slip have primarily focused on the Japan and Cascadia subduction zones. However, new detailed studies in subduction zones in Alaska, Costa Rica, Mexico, New Zealand and fault zones such as the San Andreas and on faults beneath the Hawaiian volcano complex are providing additional observations.
