The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2837-2854, September 2026.
ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

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.

Multi‐Hazard Shaking‐Tsunami Fatality Risk Estimation for Coastal Communities

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2618-2633, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study develops a multi‐hazard fatality risk model for a coastal community (Tofino) on Vancouver Island, Canada, subjected to earthquake‐tsunami threats from the Cascadia subduction megathrust events. The model incorporates variable population distributions and uncertain fatality rate models, in addition to other key model components, such

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 ...

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.

Numerical Modelling of Late Pleistocene to Holocene Earthquake‐Induced Progressive Rock Slope Damage in the Paraglacial Serpentine Valley, Prince William Sound, Alaska

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.
Numerical modelling of earthquake‐induced progressive rock slope damage in the paraglacial Serpentine valley, Prince William Sound, Alaska. Repeated seismicity generates rock mass damage that may have conditioned areas of the slope for failure during present‐day ice retreat.

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 ...

Lineaments and earthquake ruptures on the East Japan megathrust [PDF]

Lithosphere, 2018
In this paper we describe the earthquake geology of East Japan, based on a seismotectonic analysis of foreshocks and aftershocks for the 2011 Tohoku-oki Great Earthquake. The earthquake geology is defined by three compressional buttresses that are separated by channels dominated by extensional earthquakes. In the 2011 earthquake sequence, most activity
