Feedback between megathrust earthquake cycle and plate convergence [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Over million years, convergence between the Nazca and South America tectonic plates results in Andean orogeny. Over decades/centuries, it fuels the earthquake cycle of the Andean megathrust.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 Structural heterogeneities in subduction zones can affect slip behaviors of the megathrust faults and the generation of intraslab earthquakes. In this work we study the 3‐D seismic structures (Vp, Vs, and Poisson's ratio) in and around the source zones ...

Coulomb stress change on inland faults during megathrust earthquake cycle in southwest Japan [PDF]
Earth, 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 Historical documents indicate the frequent occurrence of large shallow crustal earthquakes in the overriding continental plate 50 years ...

High probability of successive occurrence of Nankai megathrust earthquakes
Scientific Reports, 2023 Great earthquakes along the Nankai megathrust in south-western Japan feature in the top priority list of Japan’s disaster management agenda. In May 2019, an alert system was incepted to issue public warnings when the probability of an earthquake ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Numerous normal‐faulting aftershocks in subduction forearcs commonly follow large megathrust earthquakes. Postseismic normal faulting has been explained by stress changes induced by the stress drop along the megathrust. However, details of forearc stress

The super‐interseismic phase of the megathrust earthquake cycle in Chile [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 AbstractAlong a subduction zone, great megathrust earthquakes recur either after long seismic gaps lasting several decades to centuries or over much shorter periods lasting hours to a few years when cascading successions of earthquakes rupture nearby segments of the fault.

DONET: A Real-Time Monitoring System for Megathrust Earthquakes and Tsunamis Around Southwestern Japan [PDF]
Oceanography, 2014 DONET (Dense Ocean floor Network for Earthquakes and Tsunamis; https://www.jamstec.go.jp/donet/e/index.html) is a cabled seafloor observatory that monitors the Nankai and Tōnankai seismogenic zones, offshore southwestern Japan, in real time. In 1944, two

Mega-earthquakes rupture flat megathrusts [PDF]
Science, 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.

Nucleation process of the 2011 northern Nagano earthquake from nearby seismic observations
Scientific Reports, 2021 The 2011 magnitude (M) 9.0 Tohoku-oki earthquake was followed by seismicity activation in inland areas throughout Japan. An outstanding case is the M6.2 Northern Nagano earthquake, central Japan, occurred 13-h after the megathrust event, approximately ...
