AbstractSubduction zones represent a boundary between Earth's tectonic plates where one slides under the other. Subduction zones host the largest earthquakes on Earth, and recent research has revealed more complex deformation events that take place over periods of months or years (referred to here as slow slip and tremor or SST). SST events do not have the sudden destructive power of earthquakes but they can influence the occurrence of large earthquakes. Despite the near ubiquity of SST in modern subduc
