Abstract
Slow earthquakes in subduction zones have been linked to high pore-fluid pressures. Laboratory measurements reveal a high permeability contrast between crust and mantle rocks, implying that water released from the subducting slab could accumulate at the crust–mantle boundary of the overlying plate, raising pore-fluid pressures and generating slow earthquakes.
