Forecasting the Largest Expected Earthquake in Canadian Seismogenic Zones [PDF]
EntropySignificant earthquakes can cause widespread infrastructure damage, social implications, and substantial economic losses. To mitigate these impacts, earthquake forecasting models have been developed to estimate earthquake occurrences and improve recovery

Ground motion prediction from nearest seismogenic zones in and around Greater Cairo Area, Egypt [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2010 This paper reviews the likely source characteristics, focal source mechanism and fault patterns of the nearest effective seismogenic zones to Greater Cairo Area. Furthermore, <i>M</i><sub>max</sub> and ground accelerations related

Large megathrust earthquakes in cold mantle wedge corners under lawsonite blueschist facies [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsGiant megathrust earthquakes typically occur above the upper-plate Moho or the 350°C isotherm in warm subduction zones. However, large earthquakes also occur within the mantle wedge corner at 35-55 km depth at cold subduction zones, such as the Kermadec,

Geodetic Deformation versus Seismic Crustal Moment-Rates: Insights from the Ibero-Maghrebian Region
Remote Sensing, 2020 Seismic and geodetic moment-rate comparisons can reveal regions with unexpected potential seismic hazards. We performed such a comparison for the Southeastern Iberia—Maghreb region.

Preparation zones for large crustal earthquakes consequent on fault-valve action
Earth, Planets and Space, 2020 A combination of geological evidence (in the form of hydrothermal vein systems in exhumed fault systems) and geophysical information around active faults supports the localized invasion of near-lithostatically overpressured aqueous fluids into lower ...

DONET: A Real-Time Monitoring System for Megathrust Earthquakes and Tsunamis Around Southwestern Japan [PDF]
Oceanography, 2014 DONET (Dense Ocean floor Network for Earthquakes and Tsunamis; https://www.jamstec.go.jp/donet/e/index.html) is a cabled seafloor observatory that monitors the Nankai and Tōnankai seismogenic zones, offshore southwestern Japan, in real time. In 1944, two
