Recent GPS observations of major earthquakes such as the 2014 Chile megathrust show a slow pre‐slip phase releasing a significant portion of the total moment (Ruiz et al., 2014). Despite advances from theoretical stability analysis (Rubin & Ampuero,... Read More about Earthquake Nucleation Size: Evidence of Loading Rate Dependence in Laboratory Faults.
