  abstract = {{S}ince their discovery two decades ago(1,2), slow slip events have been shown to play an important role in accommodating strain in subduction zones. {H}owever, the physical mechanisms that generate slow slip and the relationships with earthquakes are unclear. {S}low slip events have been recorded in the {G}uerrero segment of the {C}ocos-{N}orth {A}merica subduction zone(2,3). {H}ere we use inversion of position time series recorded by a continuous {GPS} network to reconstruct the evolution of aseismic slip on the subduction interface of the {G}uerrero segment. {W}e find that a slow slip event began in {F}ebruary 2014, two months before the magnitude ({M}-w) 7.3 {P}apanoa earthquake on 18 {A}pril. {T}he slow slip event initiated in a region adjacent to the earthquake hypocentre and extended into the vicinity of the seismogenic zone. {T}his spatio-temporal proximity strongly suggests that the {P}apanoa earthquake was triggered by the ongoing slow slip event. {W}e demonstrate that the triggering mechanism could be either static stress increases in the hypocentral region, as revealed by {C}oulomb stress modelling, or enhanced weakening of the earthquake hypocentral area by the slow slip. {W}e also show that the plate interface in the {G}uerrero area is highly coupled between slow slip events, and that most of the accumulated strain is released aseismically during the slow slip episodes.},
