After more than 100 years of earthquake research, earthquake forecasting, which relies on
knowledge of past fault rupture patterns, has become the foundation for societal defense …

Far-field tsunamis and their features, as well as methods to quantify trans-oceanic tsunamis
are reviewed, with examples of instrumental and historical data. Tsunamis from the 1854 …

Although extreme natural disasters have occurred all over the world throughout history,
power systems planners do not usually recognize them within network investment …

Megathrust earthquakes release and transfer stress that has accumulated over hundreds of
years, leading to large aftershocks that can be highly destructive. Understanding the …

Seismically induced soil liquefaction has been documented after the M7. 8, 2016
Pedernales earthquake. In the city of Jama, the acceleration recorded by soil amplification …

The northern Ecuador segment of the Nazca/South America subduction zone shows
spatially heterogeneous interseismic coupling. Two highly coupled zones (0.4° S–0.35° N …

ABSTRACT The Instituto Geofísico of the Escuela Politécnica Nacional (IGEPN) is in charge
of the monitoring and study of seismic and volcanic activity in the Ecuadorean territory. This …

We characterise the aftershock sequence following the 2016 Mw= 7.8 Pedernales
earthquake. More than 10,000 events were detected and located, with magnitudes up to 6.9 …

The Ecuadorian convergent margin has experienced many large mega-thrust earthquakes
in the past century, beginning with a 1906 event that propagated along as much as 500 km …

We propose a new energy‐based method to construct rupture scenarios for anticipated
megathrust earthquakes by using an interseismic slip‐deficit model. Our method bridges the …
