Widespread Aseismic Slip Along the Makran Megathrust Triggered by the 2013 Mw 7.7 Balochistan Earthquake

open access: yes, 2022
InSAR time series data for the 2014–2021 period reveal up to 20 cm of radar line‐of‐sight displacements in the area of the 2013 Mw 7.7 Balochistan earthquake northwest of the Hoshab Fault in the eastern Makran subduction zone in southwest Pakistan.

Spatial changes in inclusion band spacing as an indicator of temporal changes in slow slip and tremor recurrence intervals

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2021
Slow slip and tremor (SST) downdip of the seismogenic zones may trigger megathrust earthquakes by frequently transferring stress to seismogenic zones.

A Phase‐Field Model for Quasi‐Dynamic Rupture Nucleation and Propagation of In‐Plane Faults

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Computational modeling of faulting processes is an essential tool for understanding earthquake mechanics but remains challenging due to the structural and material complexities of fault zones. The phase‐field method has recently enabled unified modeling of fault propagation and off‐fault damage within a fracture‐mechanics‐based framework ...

The Sunda megathrust : past, present and future

open access: yes, 2007
After lying dormant for about a thousand years, sudden slippage of a 1600-km long section of the Sunda megathrust fault caused uplift of the seafloor between Aceh and Myanmar, resulting in a great earthquake and the horrific Indian Ocean tsunami of

Multi-Hazard Portfolio Loss Estimation for Time-Dependent Shaking and Tsunami Hazards

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Megathrust subduction earthquakes generate intense ground shaking and massive tsunami waves, posing major threat to coastal communities. The occurrence of such devastating seismic events is uncertain and depends on their recurrence characteristics (e.g.,

Depositional processes of varved sediments from proglacial Lago Frías since 1800 CE (North Patagonian Andes, Argentina)

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The glacierized Valle Frías in Northern Patagonia is one of the best‐studied valleys in South America and includes varved sediments from Lago Frías. We complement this lacustrine record with a high‐resolution documentation of varve counts and their composition.

Seismic‐afterslip characterization of the 2010 MW 8.8 Maule, Chile, earthquake based on moment tensor inversion

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2012
On February 27th 2010, a MW8.8 earthquake struck the coast of south‐central Chile, rupturing ∼500 km along the subduction interface. Here we estimate the amount of seismically‐released afterslip (SRA) and the mechanisms underlying the distribution of ...

3D Subduction Interface Model for the Hikurangi Margin, New Zealand: Implications for Slow Slip Events

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract We present a new 3D Hikurangi subduction interface model by using an implicit modeling approach that integrates seismic‐reflection profiles, relocated hypocenters, focal mechanism orientations, and tomographic interpretations. The model reveals along‐strike transitions in slow slip events (SSEs) that correlate with subduction interface ...

Regional changes in streamflow after a megathrust earthquake [PDF]

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Science Letters, 2017
Abstract Moderate to large earthquakes can increase the amount of water feeding stream flows, mobilizing excess water from deep groundwater, shallow groundwater, or the vadose zone. Here we examine the regional pattern of streamflow response to the Maule M8.8 earthquake across Chile's diverse topographic and hydro-climatic gradients.

Earthquake and Tsunami Potential of the Hikurangi Subduction Thrust, New Zealand: Insights from Paleoseismology, GPS, and Tsunami Modeling [PDF]

open access: yesOceanography, 2014
The Hikurangi subduction margin, where the Pacific Plate subducts beneath the North Island of New Zealand, poses a major seismic and tsunami hazard to the New Zealand region, but its seismic and tsunami potential is largely unknown because of New Zealand'
