Marine transform faults and associated fracture zones (MTFFZs) cover vast stretches of the
ocean floor, where they play a key role in plate tectonics, accommodating the lateral …

The shallower portions of subduction zone megathrust faults host Earth's most hazardous
tsunamigenic earthquakes, yet understanding how and when they slip remains elusive …

The Earth's ocean floor deforms continuously under the influence of plate tectonic
processes. In recent years, the development of deep-sea instruments using acoustic direct …

Rapid tremor migration (RTM) in subduction zones is a manifestation of complex fault-zone
processes on the plate interface. Recent observations have revealed a large diversity of …

The Guerrero seismic gap is presumed to be a major source of seismic and tsunami hazard
along the Mexican subduction zone. Until recently, there were limited observations at the …

Either the triggering of large earthquakes on a fault hosting aseismic slip or the triggering of
slow slip events (SSE) by passing seismic waves involve seismological questions with …

This paper aims to introduce an effective methodology for communicating a science-based
tsunami risk scenario to non-expert citizens through consensus-making between disaster …

This study conducts a probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment (PTHA) and compares two
approaches to representing earthquake source variability in the PTHA. The target region is …

Extracting the area where people have difficulty evacuating (hereafter difficult-to-evacuate
areas, DEA) when tsunamis hit after an earthquake is important for effective disaster …

The seismic gap hypothesis has been widely cited in Mexico to predict the location of future
earthquakes. However, no analysis of the outcome of any predictions of the hypothesis in …
