Probabilistic estimates of tsunami heights from great earthquakes around the Pacific Ocean based on paleotsunami surveys

对环太平洋大地震引发的海啸进行了系统的研究。阐明了1960年和2010年智利地震、2006年和2007年千岛地震、2009年和2010年印度尼西亚地震的滑动分布。研究了2004年苏门答腊岛-安达曼岛地震前的古太阳海啸证据。2011年的东北地震是869年的Jogan式地震和1896年的三陆式海啸地震同时发生的。8级俯冲带地震的标度关系可应用于9级巨震。

Tsunamis from great earthquakes around the Pacific Ocean have been systematically studied. Slip distributions for the 1960 and 2010 Chile earthquakes, the 2006 and 2007Kuril earthquakes, the 2009 and 2010 Indonesian earthquakes were clarified. Paleotsunami evidence of earthquakes prior to the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake was studied. The 2011 Tohoku earthquake was a simultaneous occurrence of the 869 Jogan-type earthquake and the 1896 Sanriku-type tsunami earthquake. Scaling relations for M~8 subduction-zone earthquakes can be applied to the M~9 giant earthquakes.
