Natural Hazards

最近发生的地震和海啸为预测未来可能发生的地震强度提供了线索。然而，由于仪器记录较短，长期复发模式和强度仍不清楚。拟议的研究将使用古地震学来理解过去几个世纪到几千年来发生的板块边界过程；这将为可用于预测沿海社区地震风险的模型提供信息。具体来说，该项目旨在调查走滑地震与海啸产生之间的联系，并评估慢滑事件的长期模式及其与俯冲带地震预报的联系。

Recent earthquakes and tsunamis provide insight into the intensity of events that can be expected in the future. However, long-term patterns of recurrence and intensity remain unclear due to the short instrumental record. The proposed research will use paleoseismology to understand plate boundary processes that have occurred over the last centuries to millennia; this will inform models that can be applied to forecast the seismic risk to coastal communities. Specifically, this program aims to investigate the link between strike-slip earthquakes and tsunami generation, and assess the long-term patterns of slow-slip events and their link to earthquake forecasting along subduction zones.
