Repeating earthquakes are earthquakes that repeatedly break a single, time-invariant fault patch. They are generally associated with aseismic slip, which is thought to load asperities, leading to repeated rupture. Repeating earthquakes are therefore useful tools to study aseismic slip and fault mechanics, with possible applications to...

The study of repeating earthquakes can provide us with a deeper understanding of the interaction between seismic and aseismic slip. Repeating earthquakes are the result of repeated loading and failure of single fault asperities, likely driven by surrounding aseismic slip. As such, they are especially useful in the study of transient or stable...
