Abstract Recent earthquakes in Chile, 2014, Mw 8.2 Iquique, 2015, Mw 8.3 Illapel and 2016,
Mw 7.6 Chiloé have put in evidence some problems with the straightforward application of …

A major question about the Himalaya remains open: does a great earthquake (like the Mw~
8.1 1934 earthquake) release all the strain stored by the Tibet–India convergence during the …

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 …

Large earthquakes are usually assumed to release all of the strain accumulated since the
previous event, implying a reduced seismic hazard after them. However, long records of …

The Chilean subduction zone is one of the most active in the world. Six events of magnitude
greater than M_w= 7.5 M w= 7.5 have occurred in the last 10 years, including the 2010 …

Understanding the long‐term earthquake recurrence pattern at subduction zones requires
continuous paleoseismic records with excellent temporal and spatial resolution and stable …

Abstract On 16 September 2015, the MW= 8.2 Illapel megathrust earthquake ruptured the
Central Chilean margin. Combining inversions of displacement measurements and seismic …

Abstract The 27 February 2010, Mw 8.8 Maule earthquake ruptured~ 500 km along the plate
boundary offshore central Chile between 34° S and 38.5° S. Establishing whether coseismic …

Constraints on the potential size and recurrence time of strong subduction-zone
earthquakes come from the degree of locking between the down-going and overriding …

During the decade from mid-2004 to mid-2014 18 great (M w≥ 8.0) earthquakes occurred
globally (∼ 1.8 per year), compared to 71 from 1900 to mid-2004 (∼ 0.68 per year), yielding …
