We observe strongly heterogeneous tremor distribution with patches in the transition zone that experience repeated tremor episodes and produce most of the tremor. Our results suggest that the majority of the tremor is occurring near the plate interface. We apply this technique to image tremor activity during an entire ETS-cycle including a large episodic tremor and slip (ETS) event in Cascadia with unprecedented resolution. Here, we develop a novel multibeam-backprojection (MBBP) method to detect and locate tremor using multiple mini seismic arrays. However, the depth of tremor in Cascadia, and the factors governing tremor generation and rupture propagation during slow quakes remain enigmatic. They constitute an important mode of stress release for the fault's transition zone, which lies directly downdip of the locked segment, the nucleation zone of large damaging earthquakes. Slow earthquakes, characterized by slow slip and associated seismic radiation called non-volcanic tremor, have been observed in major subduction zones worldwide. ![]()
