Natural Hazards

最近的地震和海啸使人们对未来可能发生的事件的强度有了深入的了解。然而，由于仪器记录较短，复发和强度的长期模式仍不清楚。这项拟议的研究将利用古地震学来了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依据。具体地说，该计划旨在调查走滑地震和海啸发生之间的联系，并评估沿俯冲带慢滑事件的长期模式及其与地震预报的联系。

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.
