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 ...

Sumatran Megathrust Earthquakes: From Science to Saving Lives [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2006 Most of the loss of life, property and well-being stemming from the great Sumatran earthquake and tsunami of 2004 could have been avoided and losses from similar future events can be largely prevented.

Near-field propagation of tsunamis from megathrust earthquakes [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2007 We investigate controls on tsunami generation and propagation in the near-field of great megathrust earthquakes using a series of numerical simulations of subduction and tsunamigenesis on the Sumatran forearc. The Sunda megathrust here is advanced in its

Comprehensive earthquake-induced landslide inventory dataset of the 2010 Chile megathrust earthquake. [PDF]
Data BriefChile is one of the most seismically active countries on Earth and is often associated with cascading hazards, such as ground shaking, liquefaction, tsunamis, and coseismic landslides. Additionally, removal mass is a global hazard with devastating impacts resulting in thousands of fatalities every year, substantial economic losses, and long-term ...

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.

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 Historical documents indicate the frequent occurrence of large shallow crustal earthquakes in the overriding continental plate 50 years ...

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 ...

Learning from a Disastrous Megathrust Earthquake
Eos, 2021 Ten years of interdisciplinary studies since the disastrous Tohoku-oki earthquake have improved our knowledge of earthquake-cycle processes and hazard, but prediction of such events remains elusive.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Geodetic observations after large subduction earthquakes reflect multiple postseismic processes, including megathrust relocking. The timing of relocking and the observational constraints on it are unclear.
