An NEG Analysis of Megathrust Earthquakes in Japan

2017
This chapter investigates the impact of megathrust earthquakes on Japanese regional structure. Even after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, there are serious concerns about predicted earthquakes in the near future; for instance, Tokyo Metropolitan Area (M.

Do coupled megathrusts rupture? A Global Comparison of Megathrust Coupling and Earthquake Slip

To assess seismic hazard along subduction zones, which host Earth’s largest earthquakes, geodesists routinely measure interseismic surface deformation rates and invert them to estimate distributions of slip deficit along the plate interface. The resulting geodetic coupling models highlight portions of the megathrust that are “locked” and accumulating ...

Spatial Economic Modelling of Megathrust Earthquake in Japan

2017
The Great East Japan Earthquake, which struck on March 11, 2011, had a massive economic impact, primarily on the affected areas in Japan. The Indian Ocean Tsunami hit Aceh and Nias, Indonesia, on December 26, 2004 and destroyed life and infrastructure within 10 kilometers of the coastline in north and western Aceh. In this book, we examine the economic

Fault Synchronization and the Likelihood of Giant Earthquakes Along Subduction Megathrusts

2011
Subduction zone megathrust earthquakes may grow into giant M>9 events by unzipping the plate boundary fault along a length larger than its seismogenic thickness. Existing hypotheses on which physical properties control along strike rupture propagation have been falsified by nature: The giant 2004 Sumatra and 2011 Japan earthquakes occurred where slab ...
