Triggered seismicity associated with the 1990 Nicoya, Costa Rica, M-w=7.0 earthquake [PDF]
, 2009 The 25 March 1990 (M-w = 7.0) subduction megathrust earthquake that occurred offshore the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica, produced a large number of aftershocks on the subduction plate interface as expected and preceded an unusual sequence of earthquakes ...

A window into the complexity of the dynamic rupture of the 2011 Mw 9 Tohoku-Oki earthquake [PDF]
, 2011 The 2011 Mw 9 Tohoku-Oki earthquake, recorded by over 1000 near-field stations and multiple large-aperture arrays, is by far the best recorded earthquake in the history of seismology and provides unique opportunities to address fundamental issues in ...

Volcanic Subsidence Triggered by Megathrust Earthquakes
Journal of Disaster Research, 2014 Studies using spaceborne interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) analysis showed that two megathrust earthquakes – the 2011Mw9.0 Tohoku-oki earthquake in Japan and the 2010Mw8.8Maule earthquake in Chile – triggered unprecedented subsidence in multiple volcanoes. There are strong similarities in the characteristics of the surface deformation in

Stress buildup in the Himalaya [PDF]
, 2004 The seismic cycle on a major fault involves long periods of elastic strain and stress accumulation, driven by aseismic ductile deformation at depth, ultimately released by sudden fault slip events. Coseismic slip distributions are generally heterogeneous

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2019 Megathrust earthquakes of magnitude ~ 8 and ensuing large tsunamis occur along the Nankai and Suruga troughs, central Japan, with a recurrence interval of 90–270 years since an AD 684 Hakuho earthquake.

Cellular Automaton Equivalence of Megathrust Earthquake Process [PDF]
, 2022 Abstract This paper links the seismic process of a megathrust earthquake with a cellular automaton (CA) and paves the way for understanding the seismic process by investigating CA. During the seismic process of the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) of magnitude 9, anomalous noise with large amplitude in the frequency range of 3 Hz to 10Hz is ...

Historical seismograms for unravelling a mysterious earthquake: The 1907 Sumatra Earthquake [PDF]
, 2010 History of instrumental seismology is short. Seismograms are available only for a little more than 100 years; high-quality seismograms are available only for the last 50 years and the seismological database is very limited in time. To extend the database,

Link between the Nankai underthrust turbidites and shallow slow earthquakes
Scientific Reports, 2023 Trench sediments such as pelagic clay or terrigenous turbidites have long been invoked to explain the seismogenic behavior of the megathrust fault (i.e., décollement).

Laboratory observations of slow earthquakes and the spectrum of tectonic fault slip modes [PDF]
, 2016 Slow earthquakes represent an important conundrum in earthquake physics. While regular earthquakes are catastrophic events with rupture velocities governed by elastic wave speed, the processes that underlie slow fault slip phenomena, including recent ...
