DR Tappin, ST Grilli, JC Harris, RJ Geller, T Masterlark… - Marine Geology, 2014 - Elsevier
Many studies have modeled the Tohoku tsunami of March 11, 2011 as being due entirely to
slip on an earthquake fault, but the following discrepancies suggest that further research is …

The finite, kinematic rupture properties of great-sized earthquakes since 1990

GP Hayes - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2017 - Elsevier
Here, I present a database of> 160 finite fault models for all earthquakes of M 7.5 and above
