Source parameters of the great Sumatran megathrust earthquakes of 1797 and 1833 inferred from coral microatolls [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Large uplifts and tilts occurred on the Sumatran outer arc islands between 0.5° and 3.3°S during great historical earthquakes in 1797 and 1833, as judged from relative sea level changes recorded by annually banded coral heads.

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.

Persistent termini of 2004- and 2005-like ruptures of the Sunda megathrust [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
To gain insight into the longevity of subduction zone segmentation, we use coral microatolls to examine an 1100-year record of large earthquakes across the boundary of the great 2004 and 2005 Sunda megathrust ruptures.

Persistent elastic behavior above a megathrust rupture patch: Nias island, West Sumatra [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We quantify fore-arc deformation using fossil reefs to test the assumption commonly made in seismic cycle models that anelastic deformation of the fore arc is negligible.

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.

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.

Quantifying offshore fore-arc deformation and splay-fault slip using drowned Pleistocene shorelines, Arauco Bay, Chile [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Indexación: Web of Science; Scopus.Most of the deformation associated with the seismic cycle in subduction zones occurs offshore and has been therefore difficult to quantify with direct observations at millennial timescales.

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.
