Mega-earthquakes rupture flat megathrusts [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2016
Mega-earthquakes go the flat way Megathrust faults in subduction zones cause large and damaging earthquakes. Bletery et al. argue that certain geometric features of the subduction zones relate to earthquake size. The key parameter is the curvature of the megathrust.

Recent Relative Sea‐Level Changes Recorded by Coral Microatolls in Southern Ryukyus Islands, Japan: Implication for the Seismic Cycle of the Megathrust

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023
The seismic hazard related to megathrust earthquakes in the Ryukyus (southern Japan) is poorly constrained as no large earthquake has been reported there.

Determination of tsunami run-up and golden time in the megathrust subduction zone of the sunda strait segment [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2021
The Indonesian Disaster Data and Information Management Database state that the tsunami in the Megathrust Subduction Zone of the Sunda Strait Segment is a disaster threat with high impact and loss of life every time it occurs.

Depth-varying rupture properties of subduction zone megathrust faults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Subduction zone plate boundary megathrust faults accommodate relative plate motions with spatially varying sliding behavior. The 2004 Sumatra-Andaman (M_w 9.2), 2010 Chile (Mw 8.8), and 2011 Tohoku (M_w 9.0) great earthquakes had similar depth variations

Deformation Process and Mechanism of the Frontal Megathrust at the Nankai Subduction Zone

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
The frontal megathrust of the Nankai Trough subduction zone is recognized as a seismogenic fault based on a record of frictional heating, but the underlying micromechanical processes that act on the fault surface are poorly known. Here we present a layer

Persistent elastic behavior above a megathrust rupture patch: Nias island, West Sumatra [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We quantify fore-arc deformation using fossil reefs to test the assumption commonly made in seismic cycle models that anelastic deformation of the fore arc is negligible.

Heterogeneous coupling of the Sumatran megathrust constrained by geodetic and paleogeodetic measurements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Geodetic and paleogeodetic measurements of interseismic strain above the Sumatran portion of the Sunda subduction zone reveal a heterogeneous pattern of coupling.

Shallow Slow Slip Events Identified Offshore the Osa Peninsula in Southern Costa Rica From GNSS Time Series

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Using new continuous geodetic time series, we identify five shallow slow slip events (SSEs) offshore and beneath the Osa peninsula in southern Costa Rica. An early event was detected by one station in 2013, and two events occurring in close succession in

Interseismic coupling and seismic potential along the Central Andes subduction zone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We use about two decades of geodetic measurements to characterize interseismic strain build up along the Central Andes subduction zone from Lima, Peru, to Antofagasta, Chile.

Coulomb stress change on inland faults during megathrust earthquake cycle in southwest Japan

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2020
In the subduction zone, megathrust earthquakes may modulate the shallow crustal seismicity in the overriding plate. Historical documents indicate the frequent occurrence of large shallow crustal earthquakes in the overriding continental plate 50 years ...
