dc.description.abstractEpisodes of nonvolcanic tremor and accompanying slow slip recently have been observed in the subduction zones of Japan and Cascadia. In Cascadia, such episodes typically last a few weeks, and differ from “normal” earthquakes in their source location and momentduration scaling. The three most recent episodes in the Puget Sound/Southern Vancouver Island portion of the Cascadia subduction zone have been exceptionally well recorded. In each episode, we see clear pulsing of tremor activity with periods of 12.4 and 24-25 hours, the same as the principal lunar and lunisolar tides. This indicates that the small stresses associated with the solid-earth and ocean tides influence the genesis of tremor much more effectively than they do “normal” earthquakes. Because the lithostatic stresses are 105 times larger than those associated with the tides, we argue that tremor occurs on very weak faults.en

A summer undergraduate project (30) paved the road for parts of this study. IRIS, Earthscope, and INGV provided instruments for the various deployments. D. Agnew provided invaluable help and insight into the tides. J. Sweet assisted with the mapping of the tremor episodes. J. Gomberg, S. Malone, H. Houston, and two anonymous reviewers provided comments that improved this manuscript.en
