Abstract On 8 September 2017, a great ( M w 8.2) normal faulting earthquake ruptured within the subducting Cocos Plate ~70 km landward from Middle American Trench beneath Tehuantepec gap. Iterative inversion and modeling of teleseismic tsunami data prediction GPS displacements indicate that steeply dipping rupture extended ~180 to northwest along strike toward Oaxaca coast ~30 70 in depth, with peak slip ~13 m. The likely broke through entire lithosphere young subducted slab response downdip...

Abstract A major ( M W 7.9) intraplate earthquake ruptured the Pacific plate seaward of Alaska subduction zone near Kodiak Island on 23 January 2018. The aftershock seismicity is diffuse, with both NNW‐ and ENE‐trending distributions, while long‐period point source moment tensors have near‐horizontal compressional tensional principal strain axes significant non‐double‐couple components. Backprojections from three large‐aperture networks indicate sources short‐period radiation not aligned...

Abstract Non-hydrostatic multi-layer models have become a popular tool in describing wave transformation from deep water to the surf zone, but numerical approach lacks theoretical framework guide implementation and assist interpretation of results. In this paper, we formulate non-hydrostatic model an analytical form for derivation examination dispersive nonlinear properties. Depth integration dimensionless continuity Euler equations over each layer yields conventional formulation. A variable...

Strong tsunami excitation from slow rupture of shallow subduction zone faults is recognized as a key concern for hazard assessment. Three months after the 22 July 2020 magnitude 7.8 thrust earthquake struck plate boundary below Shumagin Islands, Alaska, 7.6 aftershock ruptured with complex intraplate faulting. Despite smaller size and predominantly strike-slip faulting mechanism inferred seismic waves aftershock, it generated much larger than mainshock. Here we show through detailed analysis...

SUMMARY Non‐hydrostatic free‐surface models can provide better descriptions of dispersive waves by increasing the number layers at expense computational efficiency. This paper proposes a parameterized non‐hydrostatic pressure distribution in depth‐integrated two‐layer formulation to reduce costs and maintain essential dispersion properties for modeling coastal processes. The mid flow depth is expressed terms bottom with free parameter, which determined match exact linear relation water...

Abstract The Shumagin seismic gap along the Alaska Peninsula experienced a major, M W 7.8, interplate thrust earthquake on 22 July 2020. Several available finite‐fault inversions indicate patchy slip of up to 4 m at 8–48 km depth. There are differences among models in peak and absolute placement plate boundary, resulting from data distributions, model parameterizations, inversion algorithms. Two representative obtained large geodetic sets produce very different tsunami predictions tide...

Nonhydrostatic modeling has emerged as an effective tool for seismological and tsunami research over a decade, but its general application in hazard mapping engineering design remains topic of discussion. The approach incorporates the depth-averaged vertical velocity nonhydrostatic pressure nonlinear shallow-water equations that provide Poisson-type equation via conservation mass quasi-three-dimensional flows.
