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 …

Abstract The Hikurangi subduction margin, New Zealand, has not produced large
subduction earthquakes within the short written historic period (~ 180 years) and the …

The Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) is an exceptional geologic environment for recording
evidence of land-level changes, tsunamis, and ground motion that reveals at least 19 great …

Along a subduction zone, great megathrust earthquakes recur either after long seismic gaps
lasting several decades to centuries or over much shorter periods lasting hours to a few …

A new history of great earthquakes (and their tsunamis) for the central and southern
Cascadia subduction zone shows more frequent (17 in the past 6700 yr) megathrust …

Coseismic slip on the Patton Bay splay fault system during the 1964 M w 9.2 Great Alaska
Earthquake contributed to local tsunami generation and vertically uplifted shorelines as …

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 …

Studies of recent destructive megathrust earthquakes and tsunamis along subduction
margins in Japan, Sumatra, and Chile have linked forearc morphology and structure to …

Abstract The Arauco Peninsula (37°-38° S) in south-central Chile has been proposed as a
possible barrier to the along-strike propagation of megathrust ruptures, separating historical …
