Compressive sensing of frequency-dependent seismic radiation from subduction zone megathrust ruptures
Megathrust earthquakes rupture a broad zone of the subducting plate interface in both along-strike and along-dip directions. The along-dip rupture characteristics of megathrust events, e.g., their slip and energy radiation distribution, reflect depth-varying frictional properties of the slab interface. Here, we report high-resolution frequency-dependent seismic radiation of the four largest meg...
متن کاملSplay Faults in the Makran Subduction Zone and Changes of their Transferred Coulomb Stress
The Makran subduction zone in northeast and the Sumatra subduction zone (Sunda) in the west have been known as tsunamigenic zones of the Indian Ocean. The 990 km long Makran subduction zone is located offshore of Iran, Pakistan and Oman. Similar to many subduction zones all over the world, the Makran accretionary prism is associated with an imbricate of thrust faults across the zone, which may ...
متن کاملNEOTECTONIC INVESTIGATIONS ON WESTERN VANCOUVER ISLAND, BRITISH COLUMBIA (92F/4) By P.T. Bobrowsky and J.J. Clague, Geological Survey of Canada
Interest in the contemporary geodynamic setting of southwestern British Columbia stems from a concern that a large earthquake may impact the major urban centres of the province. Indeed, monitoring of seismic activity in western Canada indicates that numerous smaller magnitude (<M4) intraplate earthquakes affect the southern coastal region annually. and that very small tremors occur daily. Large...

متن کاملReflecting on Backward Design for Knowledge Translation; Comment on “A Call for a Backward Design to Knowledge Translation”
In a recent Editorial for this journal, El-Jardali and Fadlallah proposed a new framework for Knowledge Translation (KT) in healthcare. Many such frameworks already exist; thus, new entrants to the field must be scrutinized in regard to their unique contributions to advancing understanding and practice. The El-Jardali and Fadlallah framework focuses on policy-level discussions, a relatively und...
