Decoding and calibrating the "lacustrine seismometer": towards a better understanding of the recurrence pattern of megathrust earthquakes along subduction zones
In this project, we will provide new insights in average recurrence time, recurrence pattern and recurrence mode of large megathrust earthquakes at subduction zones by means of a paleoseismological study utilizing a large series of sediment cores from lakes in three key regions: i.e. Chile, Sumatra and Alaska.
