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

Abstract The 2011 March 11 Tohoku-oki great (Mw 9.1) earthquake ruptured the plate
boundary megathrust fault offshore of northern Honshu with estimates of shallow slip of 50 m …

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 …

Many studies have modeled the Tohoku tsunami of March 11, 2011 as being due entirely to
slip on an earthquake fault, but the following discrepancies suggest that further research is …

Here, I present a database of> 160 finite fault models for all earthquakes of M 7.5 and above
since 1990, created using a consistent modeling approach. The use of a common approach …

Subduction faults, called megathrusts, can generate large and hazardous earthquakes. The
mode of slip and seismicity of a megathrust is controlled by the structural complexity of the …

At 14: 46 local time on March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred off the coast of
northeast Japan. This earthquake generated a tsunami that struck Japan as well as various …

Earthquakes are major hazards to humans, buildings and infrastructure. Early warning
methods aim to provide advance note of incoming strong shaking to enable preventive …

On 11 March 2011, the devastating M9. 0 Tohoku Earthquake occurred on the interface of
the subducting Pacific plate, and was followed by a huge tsunami that killed about 20,000 …

In the first edition, we paid attention not only to tsunami waves, but to related phenomena,
namely, seaquakes, as well, which to a significant extent reflected the interests of the …
