Insights on the Source of the 28 September 2018 Sulawesi Tsunami, Indonesia Based on Spectral Analyses and Numerical Simulations

Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2018
The 28 September 2018 Sulawesi tsunami has been a puzzle because extreme deadly tsunami waves were generated following an Mw 7.5 strike-slip earthquake, while such earthquakes are not usually considered to produce large tsunamis.

Rapid mantle flow with power-law creep explains deformation after the 2011 Tohoku mega-quake

Nature Communications, 2019
Large subduction zone earthquakes like the M 9.0 Tohoku earthquake of 2011 are followed by transient surface deformation. Here, the authors show this to be caused by rapid flow taking place in the asthenosphere due to temporarily decreased viscosity ...

Dwelling in a post‐fallout landscape: re‐shaping and sustaining life in a former evacuation zone in Fukushima Habiter après la catastrophe : redonner forme au monde et entretenir la vie dans une ancienne zone évacuée à Fukushima

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A fundamental, but largely overlooked, aspect of the New Washington Consensus is the use of national security arguments to restrict speech and punish disfavored speakers. Although the United States has a longer history of using sanctions to restrict speech in the terrorism context, it has recently applied sanctions to restrict political speech,

TSUNAMI GENERATION FROM MAJOR EARTHQUAKES ON THE OUTER-RISE OF OCEANIC LITHOSPHERE SUBDUCTION ZONES - Case Study: Earthquake and Tsunami of 29 September 2009 in the Samoan Islands Region. [PDF]

Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2020
The present study examines the crustal deformational characteristics caused by earthquakes occurring primarily on the outer-rise of the oceanic lithosphere in zones of tectonic plate collision and subduction. Additionally it examines the possible reasons
