SUMMARY:Geophysics Seminar - Allan Rubin\, "Merging elastic/frictional and
  stochastic models of slow slip"
LOCATION:Mitchell Earth Sciences 350/372\, 397 Panama Mall\, Stanford\, CA

DESCRIPTION:Slow slip and nonvolcanic tremor were discovered over 20 years
  ago\, but we still don’t understand how they are generated\, or what dis
 tinguishes fault zones that produce slow slip from those that produce “re
 gular” earthquakes. Models of slow slip tend to come in 2 flavors:\n\nCon
 tinuum elastic/frictional models\, designed to reproduce their slow propa
 gation speeds and faster “tremor reversals”\, and stochastic Brownian wal
 k models\, which lack basic physics but which reproduce various statistic
 al properties of slow slip\, including a ∼constant ratio of radiated seis
 mic energy rate to moment rate. We have been exploring a stochastic elast
 ic/frictional model that simultaneously reproduces many of the statistica
 l properties of the stochastic models and the migration properties of con
 tinuum models. I’ll end by describing robust observations of tremor and s
 low slip that our model fails to reproduce\, and\nwhat this might tell us
  about processes acting in the slow slip source region.\n\nSpeaker-sugges

 .\, & Rubin\, A. M. (2026). A simple discrete elastic model exhibits both
  the statistical properties and migration patterns of slow slip. Journal
