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.

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

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.

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.

Numerical and Experimental Evaluation of a Simplified Lateral Spring Formulation for Rocking Structures

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 14, Page 3540-3560, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Rocking podium isolation systems have gained significant research interest as a method of limiting seismic demands on superstructures and eliminating residual post‐earthquake drifts through self‐centring behaviour. However, while numerous models of varying complexity, including analytical, phenomenological, and physical formulations, have been

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.,

Constraining Fault Kinematics and India‐Tarim Convergence Partitioning in Southwestern Tibet With Geodetic Block Modeling

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract How the convergent strain between the India Plate and the Tarim basin is partitioned by active faults and off‐fault deformation in southwestern Tibet is poorly understood due to limited knowledge of strain localisation and fault kinematics. In this study, we derive high‐resolution velocity fields for the southwestern Tibetan Plateau using both

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.

Triggered Shallow Megathrust Slip following the 2020 Mw7.6 Sand Point (Alaska) Strike-Slip Earthquake Explains its Tsunami

open access: yesSeismica
On October 19, 2020, the Mw7.6 Sand Point earthquake occurred near the Shumagin Islands in Alaska. Moment tensor solutions suggest oblique strike-slip faulting, but the earthquake was accompanied by an uncharacteristically large tsunami.

Modulation of Slow Slip Event Characteristics Throughout the Costa Rica Subduction Zone Earthquake Cycle

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Slow slip events (SSEs) represent an aseismic transient slip mode that repeats quasi‐periodically, near or partially overlapping with the megathrust earthquake zone. However, the process of stress interaction between SSEs and earthquake zones is not clearly understood.
