This course will give an introduction to the brittle-ductile transition zone between the crust and the mantle in different regions around the world. The course will start with an introduction to slow earthquakes, and will use scientific literature to explore the current knowledge of tectonic tremor and the possible implications for nucleation of large earthquakes. We will study the proposed mechanisms for the occurrence of slow earthquakes from observational, experimental, and modeling points of view.
