A review of the rupture characteristics of the 2011 Tohoku-oki Mw 9.1 earthquake
T Lay - Tectonophysics, 2018 - Elsevier
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 …

Depth‐varying rupture properties of subduction zone megathrust faults
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 …

New empirical earthquake source‐scaling laws
We develop new empirical scaling laws for rupture width W, rupture length L, rupture
area A, and average slip D, based on a large database of rupture models. The database …

[HTML][HTML] Did a submarine landslide contribute to the 2011 Tohoku tsunami?
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 …

Structure and composition of the plate-boundary slip zone for the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake
The mechanics of great subduction earthquakes are influenced by the frictional properties,
structure, and composition of the plate-boundary fault. We present observations of the …

The finite, kinematic rupture properties of great-sized earthquakes since 1990
GP Hayes - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2017 - Elsevier
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 …

Coseismic slip distribution of the 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake (M9. 0) refined by means of seafloor geodetic data
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 …

Parallel implementation of dispersive tsunami wave modeling with a nesting algorithm for the 2011 Tohoku tsunami
Because of improvements in offshore tsunami observation technology, dispersion
phenomena during tsunami propagation have often been observed in recent tsunamis, for …
