*The terms slow-slip events (SSE), episodic tremor & slip (ETS), and tremors are often used interchangeably.*
This page consists of screen snips of specific timeframes from the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network’s (PNSN) Tremor Map.
The tremor activity below is displayed in the PNSN’s “Color by Time (Jet)” option, where red is the most recent activity and blue is the oldest. This option helps illustrate how the tremor moved (migrated) from start to finish (sometimes reversing course and backtracking midway).
Note: A “geographic filter” was also used when compiling these images so that only the slow-slip (ETS) activity is shown on each image. This was done to (hopefully) make the slip area easier to compare from event to event.
