18. Periodic aseismic slip events on the Cascadiasubduction interface GPS and seismic data showing the occurrence of episodic tremor and slip (ETS) at Victoria, British Columbia. The blue circles show daily changes in the east component of position of the continuous GPS site ALBH relative to Penticton which is considered fixed on the North America plate. The green line represents long-term eastward motion due to steady deformation caused by the locked portion of the plate interface on the Cascadia subduction zone. The red line segments show distinct periods of 14 to 15 months with elevated eastward trends, each punctuated by a 1 to 2-week reversal of motion that has been modelled by slow slip on the deeper plate interface. The black graph at the bottom shows the number of hours within a sliding 10-day window that show distinct, low-frequency, non-impulsive seismic activity that has been called "tremor". The correlation of the periods of slow slip with periods of extended tremor prompted the naming of this phenomena as Episodic Tremor and Slip. (Herb Dragert and Coll.)
