Insights from the great 2011 Japan earthquake

The 2012 Sumatra great earthquake sequence

recorded (moment magnitudes Mw1⁄48.6 and 8.2). Broadband seismological observations of the Mw1⁄48.6 mainshock indicate a large centroid depth ( 30 km) and remarkable rupture complexity. Detailed study of the surface-wave directivity and moment rate functions clearly indicates the partition of the rupture into at least two distinct subevents. To account for these observations, we developed a pro...
