This research program will investigate the geological record of earthquake-triggered subaquatic sediment instabilities to quantitatively constrain recent tectonic activity and paleoseismicity of the Nankai Trough and Swiss Molasse Basin. This will be achieved by geophysical surveying, drilling and coring offshore Japan and in Swiss lakes, respectively, along with geotechnical in-situ and laboratory testing and generic numerical modeling experiments. Ultimately, results are expected to illuminate the seismic geohazard potential of active continental margins, in general, as well as, and in particular, of Switzerland.
