Researchers in the Science Advances journal have found a "megathrust fault" that could cause severe damage to all countries ...

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 ...

Jan. 26, 2025, marks 325 years since the last great earthquake on the Cascadia subduction zone. It’s a time to reflect on what we’ve learned about this largest fault system in the lower 48 states ...
