Electronic Supplement to
Scaling Relationships of Source Parameters for Slow Slip Events

by Haiying Gao, David A. Schmidt and Ray J. Weldon II

Data sources used in exploring scaling relationships of source parameters

This table lists all the source parameters and references used in our analysis, including the event time, fault dimensions, seismic moment, event duration and rise time, moment magnitude, average fault slip, and static stress drop. We include aseismic slip on worldwide subduction zones and on the San Andreas fault and Hawaii’s south rift zone.
