Periodic Reporting for period 1 - AspSync (Unravelling mechanisms controlling asperities synchronization and triggering mega-earthquakes: insights from analog experiments and subduction zone earthquake statistics)

AspSync focused on one of the most dangerous geo-hazard: subduction megathrust earthquakes. The short instrumental seismic record and the multi-scale, multi-parameter influence complicate our understanding of the origin and loci where those earthquakes may occur in the future...
