The hidden simplicity of subduction megathrust earthquakes

Science, 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.

Recent Relative Sea‐Level Changes Recorded by Coral Microatolls in Southern Ryukyus Islands, Japan: Implication for the Seismic Cycle of the Megathrust

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023
The seismic hazard related to megathrust earthquakes in the Ryukyus (southern Japan) is poorly constrained as no large earthquake has been reported there.

The Analysis of Tsunami Vertical Shelter in Padang City [PDF]

, 2014
Padang is a coastal city, which is located opposite to the Indian Ocean. Just across Padang city there are areas of subduction, which can trigger a powerful earthquake and generate tsunami.

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 seismic cycle and may be ready for another great earthquake.

Rheologic controls on the depth dependence of megathrust earthquakes. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
The various slip behaviors of the subduction megathrust fault, including deadly megathrust earthquakes, are depth-dependent. Yet, we do not know what causes this depth dependence, in part due to variability between subduction zone thermal structures and lithological inputs.

Earthquakes of the Nepal Himalaya : Towards a Physical Model of the Seismic Cycle [PDF]

, 2013
Home to hundreds of millions of souls and land of excessiveness, the Himalaya is also the locus of a unique seismicity whose scope and peculiarities still remain to this day somewhat mysterious.

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

BIO 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.

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

Natural 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.

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

Progress 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.

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. 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 ...
