The silent earthquake of 2002 in the Guerrero seismic gap, Mexico (Mw=7.6): Inversion of slip on the plate interface and some implications

We invert GPS position data to map the slip on the plate interface during an aseismic, slow-slip event, which occurred in 2002 in the Guerrero seismic gap of the Mexican subduction zone, lasted for ~4 months, and was detected by 7 continuous GPS receivers located over an area of ~550x250 km2. Our b...
