| dcterms.abstract | Recent studies have found a periodic phenomenon in some subduction zones called episodic tremor and slip (ETS). This kind of event can be detected by GPS stations and PBO stations. The ETS events can last 3-4 weeks and are generally correlated with non-volcanic tremor signals on seismometers. The Cascadia subduction zone has been divided into three ETS regions due to the variation of recurrence interval [Brudzinski and Allen, 2007], and most of the past studies that focused on the displacement field, have not analyzed the region for crustal strain patterns during the transient events. Stresses will be released during the ETS events at the lower plate interface and then transfer onto the overlying plate above the locked megathrust zone. However, no past research has mapped the strain field within Cascadia during the ETS events, where such strains result from the imposed stresses. The purpose of this project is to create time-dependent strain maps of Cascadia during ETS events and characterize Cascadia slow slip in terms of mapped strain anomalies. | |
