The global earthquake history

, 2014
The study of earthquakes from historical sources, or historical seismology, was considered an early priority for the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) project, which commissioned a study of historical seismicity on a global scale.

Triggered crustal earthquake swarm across subduction segment boundary after the 2016 Pedernales, Ecuador megathrust earthquake [PDF]

, 2020
Megathrust ruptures and the ensuing postseismic deformation cause stress changes that may induce seismicity on upper plate crustal faults far from the coseismic rupture area.

Linking 3D Long‐Term Slow‐Slip Cycle Models With Rupture Dynamics: The Nucleation of the 2014 Mw 7.3 Guerrero, Mexico Earthquake

AGU Advances
Slow slip events (SSEs) have been observed in spatial and temporal proximity to megathrust earthquakes in various subduction zones, including the 2014 Mw 7.3 Guerrero, Mexico earthquake which was preceded by a Mw 7.6 SSE.

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

Oceanography, 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'

Rare Synchronization Among Recurring Earthquakes

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Earthquakes are notoriously irregular, yet occasionally neighboring faults rupture in close succession, repeatedly, as if synchronized. Over successive cycles, differences in recurrence intervals, overall irregularity and external stressors should all drive neighboring faults out of phase.

Earthquake rupture properties and tsunamigenesis in the shallowest megathrust [PDF]

, 2020
<p>Seismological data provide compelling evidence of a depth-dependent rupture behavior of megathrust earthquakes. Relative to deeper events of similar magnitude, shallow earthquake ruptures have larger slip and longer duration, radiate energy that is depleted in high frequencies and have a larger discrepancy between their ...

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

Geophysical 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 ...

Impact of a tsunami generated at the Lesser Antilles subduction zone on the Northern Atlantic Ocean coastlines [PDF]

Advances in Geosciences, 2014
On 11 March 2011, a Mw ~ 9.0 megathrust earthquake occurred off the coast of Tohoku, triggering a catastrophic tsunami reaching heights of 10 m and more in some places and resulting in lots of casualties and destructions.

Evolution of Scaled Energy During Earthquake Ruptures

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Earthquake ruptures radiate seismic energy in complex ways, reflecting the interplay of fault heterogeneity and rupture dynamics. How the radiated energy evolves during rupture, and whether this evolution varies systematically with earthquake properties, remains poorly understood. Here we analyze more than 1,500 global earthquakes using moment‐

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 ...
