Abstract

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.
