Data-intensive analysis of seismic tremors and long period events: a new paradigm for understanding transient deformation processes in active geological systems

Seismic tremors form a broad class of signals generated by internal sources that are different from regular earthquakes. Volcanic tremors have been known for a long time, and tectonic tremors associated with seismogenic fault zones have been described more recently. While the physical origin of seismic tremors remains to be fully understood, they are related to slow transient energy release processes that occur in active geological systems during the accumulation of mechanical energy that is then released during catastrophic events, such as strong earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. Therefore, seismic tremors represent a unique source of information that can be used to understand the physics…
