Coastal subsidence contributes to relative sea-level rise and exacerbates flooding hazards,
with the at-risk population expected to triple by 2070. Natural processes of vertical land …

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 …

This paper reviews recent progress in tsunami geology and the history of coastal
uplift/subsidence along the Pacific coasts of Hokkaido and Tohoku, facing the Kuril and …

Prehistoric records of subduction earthquakes are often distinguished by evidence of
synchronous widespread coastal deformation, the extent of which negates the plausibility of …

Dating approaches for fine sediment tsunami deposits can be divided into two categories:(1)
dating directly using materials from within a tsunami deposit, and (2) dating indirectly using …

There is a rapidly growing number of palaeotsunami sites being reported from the Pacific
region but rarely have researchers looked far beyond their immediate site to find …

Palaeotsunami research in the Sino-Pacific region has increased markedly following the
2011 Tōhoku-oki tsunami. Recent studies encompass a variety of potential sources and …

The prograding strand plain of Avachinsky Bay, Kamchatka, Russia, along the highly active
Kamchatka subduction zone, exhibits geological evidence--buried erosional scarps--for …

Chile is a tsunami-prone country. Since the 1960 Chilean earthquake triggered a Pacific-
wide tsunami, there has been a considerable amount of research conducted on the geologic …

The first step towards assessing hazards in seismically active regions involves map**
capable faults and estimating their recurrence times. While the map** of active faults is …
