Results Provide Insight into Fundamental Earthquake Physics and Suggest Slow-Slip Earth Rupture Migh (IMAGE)

Using a machine learning model and historical data from the Cascadia region in the Pacific Northwest, computational geophysicists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have unearthed distinct statistical features marking the formative stage of slow-slip ruptures in the earth's crust months before tremor or GPS data detected a slip in the tectonic plates.
