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 ...

That's because this segmentation means that the megathrust could rupture in pieces ... This particularly dangerous segment ...

"The megathrust has a much more complex geometry ... This might help buffer against movement on one segment translating to the next. "We can't say that this definitely means only single segments ...

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 ...
