Résumé

In the Mexican subduction zone, slow slip events of various duration, from a few days to several months have previously been identified in the regions of Guerrero and Oaxaca. They occur along with microseismicity: low-frequency earthquakes and tectonic tremors. In this study, we analyzed a 10-year long tremor catalog covering multiple SSE cycles, to identify periods of high tremor activity. We then used the temporal information of these tremor bursts to decompose GNSS time series. Surface velocities estimated for tremor and non-tremor periods are then inverted to locate slip rates on the plate interface. Combining the detected microseismicity information and GNSS time series, we show that large slow slip events are made of clusters of short-lasting slip events occurring at tremor times and located updip of the tremor area. This analysis also allowed us to unveil low amplitude transients in between large slow slip events, that last 8 -9 days, occurring at tremor times and locations, in both Guerrero and Oaxaca regions. Finally, we show that the plate locking amplitude in between short and large slow slip events increases by a factor up to 0.5 at the location of tremors
