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.

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.

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.

Rheologic controls on the depth dependence of megathrust earthquakes. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S AThe 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.

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.

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.

Probabilistic tsunami hazard analysis of Batukaras, a tourism village in Indonesia [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System SciencesIndonesia'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.
