Earthquakes are one of the most destructive natural hazards on our planet Earth. Hugh earthquakes striking offshore may cause devastating tsunamis, as evidenced by the 11 March 2011 Japan (moment magnitude Mw 9.0) and the 26 December 2004 Sumatra (Mw 9.1) earthquakes. Earthquake prediction (in terms of the precise time, place, and magnitude of a coming earthquake) is arguably unfeasible in the ...

On May 23, 1989, a great earthquake struck a remote region of the South Pacific Ocean between New Zealand and Antarctica. The nearby islands are Macquarie Island, about 300 km south of the epicenter, and Campbell Island, almost 600 km east of the epicenter; the latter experienced shaking with intensity V. Fortunately, both islands are sparsely inhabited and litfie damage or injuries were report...

A rapid, holistic view of earthquake disasters begins with earthquake location and magnitude, alerted by seismic networks. The initial source characteristics, along with any available ground-shaking observations, can be used to rapidly estimate the shaking extent, its severity (e.g., ShakeMap), and its likely impact to society, for example, employing the U.S. Geological Survey's Prompt Assessme...

[1] The 25 October 2010 Mentawai, Indonesia earthquake (Mw 7.8) ruptured the shallow portion of the subduction zone seaward of the Mentawai islands, off‐shore of Sumatra, generating 3 to 9 m tsunami run‐up along southwestern coasts of the Pagai Islands that took at least 431 lives. Analyses of teleseismic P, SH and Rayleigh waves for finite‐fault source rupture characteristics indicate ∼90 s ru...
