Abstract
The subduction zone beneath Costa Rica experiences infrequent large earthquakes in its northwestern part, whereas slow slip dominates in the southeast. Seismic data reveal a disparity in fluid accumulation in the overriding continental crust that correlates with this change in seismic behaviour, implying that spatial gradients in fluid content may control subduction-zone seismicity.
