So What ? Slow Earthquakes Being Recognized as Fundamental Part of the Seismic Cycle Cascadia, Japan, Mexico, Alaska, San Andreas, Hawaii Periodicity Observed Cascadia, Mexico, Hawaii No General Theory for Slow Earthquakes and/or Periodicity Rate & State Friction RSF modified by climatic fluctuations (Lowry, 2006) TODAY’s TALK: Review Kilauea Deformation and Slow Earthquakes Father’s Day Intrusion and Evidence For Slow Earthquake Stress Modeling Explanation for Periodicity Due to Constant Stressing Rate

So What ? Father’s Day intrusion triggered another Slow Earthquake at Kilauea Delayed, but still the most regular faulting event ever observed instrumentally (I think) The Cayol et al. (2000) model combined with a constant stressing rate provides a simple explanation of periodicity What’s next? Hope for a rate change along East Rift Zone to test the constant stressing rate hypothesis
