Applying probabilistic methods to infrequent but devastating natural events is intrinsically
challenging. For tsunami analyses, a suite of geophysical assessments should be in …

Slow earthquakes are episodic slow fault slips. They form a fundamental component of
interplate deformation processes, along with fast, regular earthquakes. Recent …

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 …

In an attempt to examine the characteristic behavior of asperities, we studied the source
processes of large interplate earthquakes offshore of the Tohoku district, northeastern …

We relate seismologically observable parameters such as radiated energy, seismic moment,
rupture area, and rupture speed to the dynamics of faulting. To achieve this objective, we …

Abstract On March 11th, 2011, a moment magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck off the coast of
northeast Honshu, Japan, generating what may well turn out to be the most costly natural …

The Mw 7.8 October 2010 Mentawai, Indonesia, earthquake was a “tsunami earthquake,” a
rare type of earthquake that generates a tsunami much larger than expected based on the …

The Hikurangi subduction margin, New Zealand, has not experienced any significant (> Mw
7.2) subduction interface earthquakes since historical records began∼ 170 years ago …

We have examined the source spectra of all shallow subduction zone earthquakes from
1992 to 1996 with moment magnitude 7.0 or greater, as well as some other interesting …

The June 15, 1896 Sanriku earthquake generated devastating tsunamis with the maximum
run‐up of 25 m and caused the worst tsunami disaster in the history of Japan, despite its …
