Scientific overview

Subduction zones host the largest earthquakes and associated tsunamis, but very little is known about how such earthquakes prepare. Understanding how such earthquakes get prepared and interact is a first order challenge in earth sciences.
To understand the nucleation of earthquakes, efforts are made to assess the relative contribution of foreshock seismicity versus aseismic pre-slip. To do that, most studies rely only on the analysis of seismological data and focus near the epicenter, and (…)
