Subduction zone earthquakes result in some of the most devastating natural hazards on
Earth. Knowledge of where great (moment magnitude M≥ 8) subduction zone earthquakes …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

We describe and present a new model of global subduction zone geometries, called Slab1.
0. An extension of previous efforts to constrain the two‐dimensional non‐planar geometry of …

Subduction zone plate boundary megathrust faults accommodate relative plate motions with
spatially varying sliding behavior. The 2004 Sumatra‐Andaman (Mw 9.2), 2010 Chile (Mw …

The 2015 Gorkha Nepal earthquake caused tremendous damage and loss. To gain
valuable lessons from this tragic event, an earthquake damage investigation team was …

Plate tectonics is among the most important geological processes on Earth, but its
emergence and evolution remain unclear. Here we extrapolate models of present-day plate …

The Black Sea region comprises Gondwana-derived continental blocks and oceanic
subduction complexes accreted to Laurasia. The core of Laurasia is made up of an …

This paper describes geomorphologic evidence for the principal neotectonic features of
Myanmar and its immediate surroundings. We combine this evidence with published …

Giant earthquake (moment magnitude Mw≥ 8.5) forecasts for subduction zones have been
empirically related to both tectonic stresses and geometrical irregularities along the …

An ensemble averaging technique is used to remove the long‐wavelength topography and
gravity field from subduction zones.> 200 residual bathymetric and gravimetric anomalies …
