| Abstract | Some of the greatest earthquake hazard on the planet is located along the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone, where the Pacific Plate is diving underneath North America. Understanding seismic hazard in this region is complicated by a phenomenon known as slow slip, in which tectonic plates slide past each other without causing damaging earthquakes. Changes in water content and in rock type along the subduction zone are thought to control whether slow slip or fast earthquakes happen, but these proper |
