Slow earthquakes are episodic slow fault slips. They form a fundamental component of
interplate deformation processes, along with fast, regular earthquakes. Recent …

Abstract The 2011 March 11 Tohoku-oki great (Mw 9.1) earthquake ruptured the plate
boundary megathrust fault offshore of northern Honshu with estimates of shallow slip of 50 m …

Most large earthquakes occur along an oceanic trench, where an oceanic plate subducts
beneath a continental plate. Massive earthquakes with a moment magnitude, M w, of nine …

Investigating slow earthquake activity in subduction zones provides insight into the slip
behavior of megathrusts, which can provide important clues about the rupture extent of …

Interseismic deformation in Japan results from the combined effects of tectonic processes
including rotation of crustal blocks and the earthquake cycle process of elastic strain …

We estimated the spatial and temporal evolution of the preceding aseismic slip from January
2003 to January 2011, the coseismic slip of the Tohoku earthquake, and the postseismic slip …

Imaging the extent to which the rupture areas of great earthquakes coincide with regions of
pre‐seismic interplate coupling is central to understanding patterns of strain accumulation …

On 11 March 2011, the Tohoku‐oki earthquake in eastern Japan and the devastating
tsunami that followed it caused severe damage and numerous deaths. To clarify the rupture …

In the subduction zones around Japan, where four plates interact with one another, large
earthquakes have occurred repeatedly. These interplate earthquakes are part of the process …

The frequency-dependent rupture process of the 11 March 2011 M w 9.0 off the Pacific coast
of Tohoku Earthquake is examined using backprojection (BP) imaging with teleseismic short …
