Slip‐Tremor Interaction at the Very Beginning of Episodic Tremor and Slip in Cascadia by Yuji Itoh, Anne Socquet, Mathilde Radiguet

“…Abstract In Cascadia, the concomitance of slow slip events (SSE) and tremors during Episodic Tremor and Slip (ETS) episodes is well documented. Brittle tremor patches embedded in the ductile matrix deforming aseismically is the most common concept for the fault structure, but whether tremors and their patches impact the SSE initiation is under debate. …”
