Silent earthquakes: What, where and why?

This event has ended.

The GeoTalks webinar series is suitable for a diverse audience including the public, secondary school pupils and professionals.

Abstract
In recent decades, improved Earth observation technology has revealed a widespread phenomenon of 'slow' or 'silent' earthquakes. These events are similar to earthquakes in the deformation they cause at depth, but they are slower, less energetic, and not felt at the surface. This talk will discuss what these events are, where they occur, and current thoughts on why they happen.
