Down-dip variations in a subducting low-velocity zone linked to episodic tremor and slip: a new constraint from ScSp waves

Abstract Fluids are thought to play an important role in controlling episodic tremor and slow slip (ETS) in subduction zones. Therefore, constraining the along-dip distribution of fluids is necessary to better understand source mechanism of ETS, and particularly the role played by fluids in ETS gene...
