The frequent occurrence and importance of slow slip and tremor have only recently become apparent, owing largely to advances in seismic and geodetic monitoring. At some plate boundaries, slow slip relaxes a significant fraction of accumulated tectonic stress. To further understanding of aseismic slip, tremor, and earthquakes, more than 52 participants contributed to a workshop with the goals of improving research coordination, assessing the earthquake hazard implications, and identifying ways to capitalize on the education and outreach opportunities these phenomena present.
