Slip rate deficit and earthquake potential on shallow megathrusts

EO Lindsey, R Mallick, JA Hubbard, KE Bradley… - Nature …, 2021‏ - nature.com
Most destructive tsunamis are caused by seismic slip on the shallow part of offshore
megathrusts. The likelihood of this behaviour is partly determined by the interseismic slip …

Active convergence of the India‐Burma‐Sunda plates revealed by a new continuous GPS network

R Mallick, EO Lindsey, L Feng… - Journal of …, 2019‏ - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The Rakhine (Arakan)‐Bangladesh megathrust, along which the Indian and Burma

M Marchandon, J Hollingsworth, M Radiguet - Earth and Planetary Science …, 2021‏ - Elsevier
Numerous fault slip models for several large strike-slip earthquakes indicate a reduction of
slip along the uppermost part of the fault (Shallow Slip Deficit, SSD). In this paper, we …
