Transient uplift after a 17th-century earthquake along the Kuril subduction zone
Science, 2004•science.org
In eastern Hokkaido, 60 to 80 kilometers above a subducting oceanic plate, tidal mudflats
changed into freshwater forests during the first decades after a 17th-century tsunami. The
mudflats gradually rose by a meter, as judged from fossil diatom assemblages. Both the
tsunami and the ensuing uplift exceeded any in the region's 200 years of written history, and
both resulted from a shallow plate-boundary earthquake of unusually large size along the
Kuril subduction zone. This earthquake probably induced more creep farther down the plate …

Both the tsunami and the ensuing uplift exceeded any in the region's 200 years of written history, and both resulted from a shallow plate-boundary earthquake of unusually large size along the Kuril subduction zone. This earthquake probably induced more creep farther down the plate boundary than did any of the region's historical events.
