Back to full interseismic plate locking decades after the giant 1960 Chile earthquake

Nature Communications, 2018
Great megathrust earthquakes arise from the sudden release of strain accumulated during centuries of interseismic plate convergence. Here, the authors reconstruct interseismic strain accumulation since the 1960 Chile earthquake, finding a transient ...

Simulated tsunami inundation for a range of Cascadia megathrust earthquake scenarios at Bandon, Oregon, USA

, 2013
Characterizations of tsunami hazards along the Cascadia subduction zone hinge on uncertainties in megathrust rupture models used for simulating tsunami inundation.

Tectonic control on great earthquake periodicity in south-central Chile

Communications Earth & Environment
Multi-millennial records of great megathrust earthquakes have highlighted differences in periodicity and recurrence behavior. Understanding tectonic processes responsible for these differences is relevant for fault mechanics and hazard models.

Long aseismic slip duration of the 2006 Java tsunami earthquake based on GPS data

Earthquake Science, 2016
The Java earthquake occurred on July 17, 2006 with magnitude 7.8 associated to the subduction process of Indo-Australian plate and Sundaland block off southwestern coast of Java.

Temporarily Increased Recurrence Rate of Shallow Slow Slip Events Driven by Significant Afterslip Following the 2012 Mw 7.6 Nicoya Earthquake

Geophysical Research Letters
Slow slip events (SSEs) release tectonic strain without causing sudden ground shaking. SSEs have been observed at many subduction zones, some dynamically triggered by stress changes due to the passage of seismic waves.

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 ...

Significant differences in invertebrate assemblages between low- and high-uplifted intertidal shores in the Simeulue Island, Indonesia, after a megathrust earthquake of 2004 and 2005

, 2020
Co-seismic uplift provides significant effects on rocky intertidal assemblages. However, previous studies mainly focused on analysing invertebrate assemblages before and after the uplift event and are conducted in the Pacific Ocean region.
