Japan’s earthquake planners divide the Nankai fault zone into named segments, each with its own rupture history and hazard clock. The eastern one, called Tokai, hasn’t broken in more than 170 years.

On January 1, 2024, a large-magnitude (M7.6) reverse-fault earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula, Japan, generating a tsunami that caused extensive coastal damage. The source fault, inferred from ...

It was the second highest tsunami ever recorded on Earth,” says Aram Fathian, a researcher at the University of Calgary and co-author of a recent Science study that reconstructed this event in detail.

Researchers have documented the first two-dimensional map of a tsunami moving across the open ocean, captured by a satellite shortly after a major earthquake. That view turns a fast-moving hazard into ...
