Modeling the Probability of Tsunami Fire Ignition Based on Data From the 2011 Tohoku and 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquakes, With Recommendations to Reduce Emerging Fire Risk in Tsunami Vertical Evacuation Structures

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 1116-1133, 25 April 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent tsunamigenic earthquakes in Japan have highlighted the emerging fire hazard triggered by tsunami inundation and its impact on tsunami vertical evacuation (TVE) structures. This new type of fire following earthquake, referred to as “tsunami fires,” may be a potential universal hazard that tsunami‐prone countries face; however, it has not

Time‐ and State‐Dependent Damage Accumulation Due to Aftershocks Under an M9.0 Megathrust Earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 1157-1175, 25 April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study develops a comprehensive framework for assessing time and state‐dependent aftershock damage accumulation under an M9.0 megathrust interface earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ). The framework integrates aftershock probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (APSHA) and state‐dependent fragility analysis (SDFA) within a ...

Interseismic Coupling Along the Java‐Timor Subduction‐Collision Zone at East Indonesia

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
The Java‐Timor subduction‐collision zone is one of the most tectonically complicated structures along the strike of the Indonesia‐Australia convergence. This complexity makes it difficult to interpret observations of interseismic deformation.

Unusually large tsunamis frequent a currently creeping part of the Aleutian megathrust

open access: yesGeophysical 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 ...

構造研究に基づく南海トラフ(西部)地震発生帯のプレート形状および速度構造の3次元モデル [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Great interplate earthquakes have repeatedly occurred in pairs along the Nankai Trough. In order to reduce a great deal of damage to coastal area from both strong ground motion and tsunami generation, it is necessary to understand rupture synchronization

Seismotectonics and Crustal Structure in the Southern Dominican Republic Offshore Margin: Implications on the Tsunami Potential

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Many coastal areas of the southern Dominican Republic experience considerable population pressure accompanied by important economic activity. The southern offshore margin is characterized by significant seismicity and active geological processes. Because

Azimuthal Seismic Anisotropy in the Upper Crust of the Japanese Islands Induced by the 2011 Tohoku‐Oki Megathrust Earthquake

open access: yesGeophysical 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

Analysis of knowledge improvement among Padang City disaster volunteers through pediatric basic life support education [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
Padang City is one of the areas with a high risk of earthquakes and tsunamis due to the Mentawai megathrust activity. Children are a vulnerable group requiring special attention during disasters, particularly regarding basic life support (BLS).

Modeling near-field tsunami observations to improve finite-fault slip models for the 11 March 2011 Tohoku earthquake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The massive tsunami generated by the 11 March 2011 Tohoku earthquake (M_w 9.0) was widely recorded by GPS buoys, wave gauges, and ocean bottom pressure sensors around the source.
