Tsunami hazard from the subduction megathrust of the South China Sea : Part I. source characterization and the resulting tsunami

Tsunami hazard from the subduction megathrust of the South China Sea : Part I. source characterization and the resulting tsunami

The subduction megathrust under the Manila Trench has been accumulating strain over a period of 440 years or more, and could be the source for a giant earthquake of Mw ∼ 9. We present a plausible earthquake rupture model constructed from seismic and geodetic data, together with hydrodynamic simulati...
