NEAM Tsunami Hazard Model 2018 (NEAMTHM18) “Online Data”

NEAM Tsunami Hazard Model 2018 (NEAMTHM18): online data of the Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Model for the NEAM Region from the TSUMAPS-NEAM

The stronger shallower segment strains and stresses the deeper segment of the seismogenic zone. The deeper segment is weaker and fails at lower stress build-up in 2016-class earthquakes. Higher shear strength along the shallow segment allows longer periods (>110 yr) of stress build-up, the release of which may result in great 1960-class earthquakes that can also extend into the deeper segment. Interseismic GPS velocities indicate high crustal shortening above the deeper section of the seismogenic zone (right inset). Pore fluid pressure gradients along the plate interface are related to the geological configuration of the margin, and exert a mechanical control on the strength segmentation and timing of stress release in the seismogenic zone (left inset).
