and models that do try to simulate both processes don't capture along-strike variations, which help dictate the size of a megathrust earthquake. The new model, which simulates movements along a ...

The Cascadia Subduction Zone, which spans from British Columbia to Northern California, periodically experiences megathrust earthquakes M >8. During these ruptures, the last of which occurred in 1700 ...

Forecasting the size of future megathrust earthquakes and tsunamis by exploiting the new technology of offshore and onshore geophysical observations. We aim to assess the potential for megathrust ...

While our scenario is the “big one”, a M9.0 megathrust earthquake, this study is not a simulation because of the unpredictable nature of earthquakes. Rather, it is an assessment of what critical ...

It’s notorious for its megathrust earthquakes, powerful seismic events that occur where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, releasing colossal quantities of energy. If the Nankai ...

1700. A megathrust earthquake occurs when a piece of the earth's crust is forced underneath another plate. The quakes are of magnitude 9 or greater, and both the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake that ...

The last occurred in 1700 ... "The megathrust has a much more complex geometry than previously assumed. The study provides a new framework for earthquake and tsunami hazard assessment." ...
