Stress, rigidity and sediment strength control megathrust earthquake and tsunami dynamics
Megathrust faults host the largest earthquakes on Earth, which can trigger cascading
hazards such as devastating tsunamis. Determining characteristics that control subduction …

Sn wave tomography of the uppermost mantle beneath the Indian shield and its adjacent regions
We present a high-resolution Sn velocity image beneath the Indian shield and its adjoining
regions by inverting 11,243 Sn arrivals. The average apparent Sn velocity is 4.60 km/s with a …
