Detection of Shallow Tectonic Tremors in Hyuga‐nada, Nankai Trough, Using the Newly Established N‐Net OBS Network

Geophysical Research Letters
Monitoring tectonic tremors is crucial for understanding stress release in subduction zones and assessing megathrust earthquake risk. The Hyuga‐nada region, at the western edge of the Nankai Trough, Japan, provides a natural laboratory for investigating ...

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 ...

Generating tsunami risk knowledge at community level as a base for planning and implementation of risk reduction strategies [PDF]

, 2010
More than 4 million Indonesians live in tsunami-prone areas along the southern and western coasts of Sumatra, Java and Bali. Although there now exists a Tsunami Early Warning Center in Jakarta, installed after the devastating 2004 tsunami, it is ...

Frictional behaviour of megathrust fault gouges under in-situ subduction zone conditions

, 2013
Subduction zone megathrusts generate the largest earthquakes and tsunamis known. Understanding and modelling “seismogenesis” on such faults requires an understanding of the frictional processes that control nucleation and propagation of seismic slip ...

Stress loading following a Mw7.8 megathrust earthquake in the northern Ecuadorian forearc

Whether driven by fluids or aseismic slip, seismic swarms release stress. In the Ecuadorian subduction zone, the 2016 Pedernales Mw7.8 megathrust earthquake caused aftershocks associated with afterslip.

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.

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.

Evaluation of the Potential Geological and Socioeconomic Impacts of the Imminent Cascadia Megathrust Earthquake [PDF]

, 2020
The Cascadia Subduction Zone on the northwest coast of the United States poses the threat of a devastating megathrust earthquake and subsequent tsunami damaging coastal populations.
