Do Coupled Megathrusts Rupture?
Megathrust earthquakes are among the most destructive and least predictable natural hazards. Kinematic geodetic coupling models, which identify regions of the plate interface where interseismic strain accumulates, are essential for seismic and tsunami hazard assessment.

Unusually large tsunamis frequent a currently creeping part of the Aleutian megathrust
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 Current models used to assess earthquake and tsunami hazards are inadequate where creep dominates a subduction megathrust. Here we report geological evidence for large tsunamis, occurring on average every 300–340 years, near the source areas of the 1946 ...

SeismicaOn October 19, 2020, the Mw7.6 Sand Point earthquake struck south of the Shumagin Islands in Alaska. Moment tensors indicate the earthquake was primarily strike-slip, yet the event produced an enigmatic tsunami that was larger and more widespread than ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2018 We investigated VP/VS changes in the upper crust of the Japanese islands after the 2011 MW9.0 Tohoku‐Oki megathrust earthquake. Abrupt VP/VS changes with azimuth‐dependent variations were observed after the megathrust earthquake. The VP/VS changes ranged

Geophysical Research Letters, 2012 On February 27th 2010, a MW8.8 earthquake struck the coast of south‐central Chile, rupturing ∼500 km along the subduction interface. Here we estimate the amount of seismically‐released afterslip (SRA) and the mechanisms underlying the distribution of ...

On Dislocation Modeling of Megathrust Tsunami Sources
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid EarthAbstractModeling tsunamis due to subduction earthquakes for scientific research and hazard assessment requires accurate quantification of coseismic seafloor deformation. Although the widely used analytical model of shear dislocation in a uniform elastic half space can accommodate complex fault geometry and slip distribution, it fails to capture the ...

Bibliometric Mapping of Public Knowledge on Megathrust Earthquake Disaster Mitigation
Public knowledge of megathrust earthquake mitigation is essential for strengthening disaster preparedness and supporting disaster risk reduction. Although earthquake mitigation research has continued to expand, bibliometric evidence positioning public ...
