Abstract

Slow motion seismicity Silent earthquakes, or slow slip events, happen so slowly that they cannot be detected by conventional seismographs. But now the availability of GPS data means that they can be followed in detail. Segall et al. report on a series of small earthquakes on Kīlauea volcano, Hawaii. The earthquakes, at depths of 7 to 8 km, appear to be triggered by otherwise silent slow slips. Though small, triggered earthquakes of this type can be used to help quantify the increased hazard due to slow slip events.
