Plate-rate experimental deformation: Aseismic, transient or seismic fault slip (PREDATORS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2017, End date: Feb 28, 2022,

Despite many advances in earthquake science, the tendency for faults to host earthquake slip, aseismic slip or slow slip events is far from well understood. Earthquakes are not yet predictable in a meaningful way, and laboratory observations do not satisfactorily explain many general observations of fault slip. Existing data has been gathered at slip velocities orders of magnitude faster than pl ...
