The hidden simplicity of subduction megathrust earthquakes

open access: yesScience, 2017
Universal scaling for big quakes The amount of energy released as a large fault ruptures provides some clues about the overall size of an earthquake. Meier et al. looked at this energy release for more than 100 large earthquakes.

Distribution of seismicity hazard levels using PGA analysis with the PSHA method in the Ciletuh Geopark Area, Sukabumi, Indonesia [PDF]

open access: yesBIO Web of Conferences, 2023
The regional structure in Java Island, Indonesia, was influenced by the collisional activity of the Eurasian and Indo-Australian plates, which resulted from mélange rocks outcrops in Ciletuh.

Near‐field propagation of tsunamis from megathrust earthquakes [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical 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 seismic cycle and may be ready for another great earthquake.

Relationship between citizens' risk perceptions formed by disaster information and migration decision-making: Evidence from Japan

open access: yesProgress in Disaster Science, 2020
This study approached the problem of how disaster-related information from various media leads to citizens recognizing risk, and how this affects migration decision-making.

Asthenosphere Flow Modulated by Megathrust Earthquake Cycles [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2018
Abstract Subduction megathrusts develop the largest earthquakes, often close to large population centers. Understanding the dynamics of deformation at subduction zones is therefore important to better assess seismic hazards. Here I develop consistent earthquake cycle simulations that incorporate localized and distributed deformation ...

Probabilistic tsunami hazard analysis of Batukaras, a tourism village in Indonesia [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Indonesia's location in the middle of tectonic plates makes it vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis, especially in the megathrust zone around the island of Sumatra and the southern part of the island of Java.

Seismic and Aseismic Cycle of the Ecuador–Colombia Subduction Zone

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The Colombia–Ecuador subduction zone is an exceptional natural laboratory to study the seismic cycle associated with large and great subduction earthquakes.

Seismic tomographic models of "Structural heterogeneity in source zones of the 2018 Anchorage intraslab earthquake and the 1964 Alaska megathrust earthquake"

open access: yes, 2019
3-D seismic structures (Vp, Vs and Poisson’s ratio) in and around the source zones of the 2018 Anchorage intraslab earthquake (Mw 7.1) and the 1964 Alaska megathrust earthquake (Mw 9 ...

Sumatran megathrust earthquakes: from science to saving lives [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical 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. However, achieving this goal requires forging a chain linking basic science—the study of why, when and where these events occur—to people's everyday ...
