[iris-bulk] Reminder! JGR Special Vol.: Slow Slip, Tremor & Earthquakes

[IRIS]

Reminder! Manuscripts for the JGR Special Section on “The  
Phenomenology, Underlying Processes, and Hazard Implications of Slow  
Slip, Tremor and Earthquakes” may be submitted July 1 to September 1,  
2008.  If you are considering a submission, please send a tentative  
title and author list to Joan Gomberg at gomberg at usgs.gov as soon as  
possible.  When you are ready to submit, please use the online GEMS  
system (see http://www.agu.org/pubs/submit_to_AGU.html) and use the  
link indicating your manuscript is being submitted for this Special  
Section.  Questions may be addressed to Joan Gomberg, Wendy McCausland  
(wmccausland at usgs.gov) or Hitoshi Hirose (hirose at bosai.go.jp)

This Special Section focuses on one of the most exciting new  
discoveries in the Earth sciences - the phenomena of slow slip and  
tremor. Slow slip refers to fault motion that occurs over many seconds  
to months without radiating seismic waves, measurable using geodetic  
methods.  Tremor is seismic wave energy that radiates at low  
amplitudes for long durations, detectable on sensors tuned to record  
high frequencies. Slow slip and tremor represent modes of fault motion  
that differ from that in earthquakes. This special section will  
document these new scientific mysteries, potential explanations, and  
their implications for earthquake hazards.
