Project description
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.
