5 Goals of this talk Synthesize what has been learned from seismic studies of the numerous, well recorded recent megathrust earthquakes Discuss some outstanding ques>ons and direc>ons for future research
6 Earthquakes are Controlled by Fric>on Depth Below Sea Floor (km) Parkfield, CA Seismicity Aseismic Seismogenic Aseismic The seismogenic zone is defined by the transi9ons from stable to unstable fric9onal deforma9on Marone & Scholz, 1988
7 Friction τ = µ σ n proposed that stick-slip behavior in laboratory friction experiments might be analogous to earthquake rupture
8 S>ck Slip Behavior σ µ S,D K τ τ = µ s σ n Sliding initiates at static friction coefficient but frictional resistance falls once sliding starts resulting in a dynamic instability or slip B Slope = -K Condition for Instability: δτ/δu >K (K- elastic properties of the medium) τ The image cannot be displayed. Your computer may not have enough memory to The image cannot be display Displacement C f Frictional stability is determined by the combination of 1) fault zone frictional properties and 2) elastic properties of the surrounding material
9 Further work on physics of rock fric>on revealed: 1. Time dependence of friction µ s = µ 0 + A ln (Bt+1) (Dietrich) 2. Velocity dependence of friction µ V o V 1 = e V o Slip rate µ D = µ 0 + a ln (V/V 0 )+ b ln(v 0 θ/d c ) v a b Velocity Weakening D c Slip b-a >0 Instantaneous effect Evolutionary effect
10 Rate and State Dependent Friction Law µ V o V 1 = e V o Slip rate a b Velocity Weakening D c b-a >0 Slip a-b <0 velocity weakening- STICK-SLIP INSTABILITY a-b > 0 velocity strengthening and STABLE
11 Friction Laws and Their Application to Seismic Faulting (a-b) > 0 Always Stable, No Earthquake Nucleation, Dynamic Rupture Arrested (a-b) < 0 Unstable, Earthquakes May Nucleate, Dynamic Rupture Will Propagate (a-b) ~ 0 Conditionally Stable, No Earthquakes Nucleate, Dynamic Rupture May Propagate a - b Seismicity ( - ) ( + ) Earthquake Stress Drop ( - ) ( + ) seismogenic zone
12 Up-Dip Stable/Unstable Frictional Transition 1) Clay mineral transformation 2) Consolidation/lithification state of fault gouge and accretionary prism materials Poorly consolidated granular gouge exhibits velocity strengthening Lithified materials and highly localized shear exhibit velocity weakening Seismogenic Zone
13 Moore et al., 2007 Seismogenic Zone
14 Seismogenic Zone Down-Dip Seismic/Aseismic Transition Temperature Contact with serpentinized mantle
15 If a~b we have conditionally stable conditions where earthquakes do not nucleate but slip propagates. At frictional transitions slow slip that occurs at velocities between steady creep and dynamic earthquake rupture can occur.

17 Main Asperity Regions First Order Observations 1. Segmentation of the megathrust- rupture areas tend to abut one another 2. Megathrust events tend to have a characteristic recurrence interval Ye et al., 2016

30 Future Directions- Asperities Con>nued improvement of coseismic slip inversions integra>ng all available data setsseismic, geode>c, tsunami earthquakes. What do slip patches (asperi>es) represent? Are they controlled by upper or lower plate, both, or neither? Do asperi>es persist through many earthquake cycles?

55 The subduction interface is more complex than we usually draw (Bebout, and Penniston-Dorland, 2015)
56 Future Directions-Slow Slip Can seismic and aseismic processes occur at the same loca>ons at different >mes? Are the mechanisms of slow slip different at different loca>ons along the plate interface (up dip vs. down dip of the seismogenic zone) Does slow slip commonly precede megathrust earthquakes? What is the strain budget at the megathrust boundary?
