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 ...

Structural Damage Evaluation: Theory and Applications to Earthquake Engineering [PDF]
, 2004 The further development of performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) is on the current agenda of the earthquake engineering community. A part of assessing the seismic performance of civil engineering structures involves estimation of seismic damage.

Data for megathrust earthquakes (2)
, 2023 Waveform data and hypocenter data of the megathrust earthquakes used in the analysis are included. 'wv.dat' contains vertical, north-south, east-west components and 'tr.dat' contains transverse components. 'hypo_thrust_wv.dat' contains the hypocentral data used for waveform analysis from the catalogue of the Japan Meteorological Agency.

Coastal subsidence in Oregon, USA, during the Giant Cascadia earthquake of AD 1700 [PDF]
, 2011 Quantitative estimates of land-level change during the giant AD 1700 Cascadia earthquake along the Oregon coast are inferred from relative sea-level changes reconstructed from fossil foraminiferal assemblages preserved within the stratigraphic record.

The State of Pore Fluid Pressure and 3‐D Megathrust Earthquake Dynamics [PDF]
, 2022 We study the effects of pore fluid pressure (P-f) on the pre-earthquake, near-fault stress state, and 3-D earthquake rupture dynamics through six scenarios utilizing a structural model based on the 2004 M-w 9.1 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake.

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.

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

Seismic images of the megathrust rupture during the 25th October 2010 Pagai earthquake, SW Sumatra: Frontal rupture and large tsunami [PDF]
The Mentawai segment of the Sumatra subduction zone is locked and likely to produce a large earthquake in the near future. A part of this locked zone ruptured on 12 September 2007 producing twin earthquakes of Mw = 8.5 and 7.9.

An interpretation of tsunami earthquake based on a simple dynamic model : Failure of shallow megathrust earthquake [PDF]
, 2013 The 2011 Tohoku earthquake demonstrated that extremely large seismic slip can occur at shallow plate interfaces in subduction zones. The large slip area for the Tohoku earthquake included the source region of a tsunami earthquake.

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).
