LATEST UPDATE ON SLOW SLIP AND DEEP TREMOR (ETS)
- "Slow earthquakes affecting southern British Columbia and northern Washington have been occurring every 14 months or so over the last 10 years. The PNSN has deployed additional seismometers to record expected tremor events to gain insight into the process and into the stresses that eventually will lead to the region's next major earthquake. Many different techniques are used to study this phenomenon."
