Research Article on the Short-term interaction between silent and devastating earthquakes in Mexico

Associate Professor Yoshihiro Ito, Associate Professor Takuya Nishimura, Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Kyoto University and their colleagues in National Autonomous University of Mexico, University of Rhode Island, and University of California, Santa Cruz, analyzed crustal deformation from GNSS stations in Mexico, as an international collaborative research project to identify slip distribution of slow slip events and interpolate coupling on the plate interface between Cocos and North America plates. As a result, it was clarified that an interaction among three large earthquakes with magnitude larger than 7 and slow slip events occurred in Mexico from 2017 to 2019. These results were published in Nature Communications on 12 April 2021.
