The discipline of seismology is based on observations of ground motion that are inherently
undersampled in space and time. Our basic understanding of earthquake processes and our …

Abstract The 2011 March 11 Tohoku-oki great (Mw 9.1) earthquake ruptured the plate
boundary megathrust fault offshore of northern Honshu with estimates of shallow slip of 50 m …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

Subduction zone plate boundary megathrust faults accommodate relative plate motions with
spatially varying sliding behavior. The 2004 Sumatra‐Andaman (Mw 9.2), 2010 Chile (Mw …

The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has changed the mindset of many consumers. They are
increasingly aware of the risks of not caring for the planet. Before the pandemic, there was a …

We have produced a large set of broadband (0–10 Hz) synthetic seismograms for M w 9.0
earthquakes on the Cascadia megathrust by combining synthetic seismograms derived from …

The mechanics of great subduction earthquakes are influenced by the frictional properties,
structure, and composition of the plate-boundary fault. We present observations of the …

Abstract The 11 March 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku (M w 9.0) Earthquake ruptured a
200 km wide megathrust fault, with average displacements of~ 15–20 m. Early estimates of …

Subduction zone megathrust faults host Earth's largest earthquakes, along with multitudes of
smaller events that contribute to plate convergence. An understanding of the faulting …

On 11 March 2011, the devastating M9. 0 Tohoku Earthquake occurred on the interface of
the subducting Pacific plate, and was followed by a huge tsunami that killed about 20,000 …
