Fault zone heterogeneities explain depth-dependent pattern and evolution of slow earthquakes in Cascadia

Here, the authors combine the geological and seismological constraints of the Cascadia Subduction Zone and develop a 3D rate and state friction model. By considering depth-dependent variations of differential pore pressure following a simple linear profile, the model reproduces the full spectrum of...
