“…The sources of variability are important, in this context, only if they can be used to constrain a representative slip rate. Spatial and temporal variability has been widely documented, but the implications for uncertainty have rarely been quantified (Dolan et al, 2007;Faure Walker et al, 2019;Friedrich et al, 2003;Gold & Cowgill, 2011;Manighetti et al, 2001 Milliner et al, 2015;Reitman et al, 2022;Rockwell & Klinger, 2013). The spatial variability of cumulative slip has received less attention than single-earthquake slip, in part because it is frequently challenging to measure cumulative slip over a common time interval at multiple points along strike, although examples exist (e.g., DuRoss, 2008;Frankel et al, 2007;Gunderson et al, 2018;Manighetti et al, 2001;McPhillips & Scharer, 2018;Rood et al, 2011).…”
