The timing and location of such megathrust earthquakes depend on factors such as the shape, roughness, composition, and fluid content of the fault. Aside from the danger they pose, such ...

It’s notorious for its megathrust earthquakes, powerful seismic events that occur where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, releasing colossal quantities of energy. If the Nankai ...

Forecasting the size of future megathrust earthquakes and tsunamis by exploiting the new technology of offshore and onshore geophysical observations. We aim to assess the potential for megathrust ...

While our scenario is the “big one”, a M9.0 megathrust earthquake, this study is not a simulation because of the unpredictable nature of earthquakes. Rather, it is an assessment of what critical ...
