Triggered crustal earthquake swarm across subduction segment boundary after the 2016 Pedernales, Ecuador megathrust earthquake

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Science Letters, 2021
International audienceMegathrust ruptures and the ensuing postseismic deformation cause stress changes that may induce seismicity on upper plate crustal faults far from the coseismic rupture area. In this study, we analyze seismic swarms that occurred in

Investigating a tsunamigenic megathrust earthquake in the Japan Trench

Science, 2021
The legacy of Tohoku-oki Ten years ago, the magnitude 9 Tohoku-oki earthquake rocked Japan and caused massive damage. The earthquake also generated a destructive tsunami, the impacts of which are still being managed today. Kodaira et al.

Geometric controls on megathrust earthquakes

Geophysical Journal International, 2020
SUMMARY The role of subduction zone geometry in the nucleation and propagation of great-sized earthquake ruptures is an important topic for earthquake hazard, since knowing how big an earthquake can be on a given fault is fundamentally important. Past studies have shown subducting bathymetric features (e.g.

Subslab heterogeneity and giant megathrust earthquakes

Nature Geoscience, 2021
The nucleation and rupture processes of giant megathrust earthquakes (M ≥ 9.0) in subduction zones are still controversial. Most previous studies have focused on the subducting plate interface, and the structure beneath the subducting slab and its influence on earthquake generation remain unclear.

Silent Heralds of Megathrust Earthquakes?

Science, 2004
D uring an earthquake, rupture propagates along the fault plane within a few tens of seconds. Much slower rupture, lasting for weeks or months, has recently been observed in slip transients or slow earthquakes ([1][1], [2][2]).

Triggering of earthquake swarms following the 2011 Tohoku megathrust earthquake

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2015
AbstractEarthquake swarms, often interpreted to result from fluids invading the brittle seismogenic zone, have seismicity patterns that are significantly different from an aftershock sequence. Following the Mw 9.0 Tohoku‐Oki earthquake, an unusual, shallow normal‐faulting swarm sequence occurred near the Pacific coast in the southeast Tohoku district ...
