| Abstract | Large earthquakes occurring at converging tectonic plate boundaries pose significant threats to communities worldwide. These so-called subduction zone earthquakes can trigger tsunamis and cause widespread damage, but scientists still cannot predict when they will occur. The most damaging events happen rarely, often centuries apart in a region, and their observations are scarce and rely on indirect inference. While physics-based models of subduction zones help explain these phenomena, they strugg |
