The geophysics, geology and mechanics of slow fault slip

- Geodetic and seismologic observations show that fault creep and slow slip events can occur at all depths of crustal faults.
- Better understanding of slow slip requires integration of geophysical, geological, experimental, and modeling analyses.
- There are many successful recipes for making a fault slip slowly.
- Changes in fluid pressure or slip rate can cause a fault to transition between stable and unstable fault slip behavior.
