A decade of lessons learned from the 2011 Tohoku‐Oki earthquake

N Uchida, R Bürgmann - Reviews of Geophysics, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku‐oki earthquake is one of the world's best‐recorded
ruptures. In the aftermath of this devastating event, it is important to learn from the complete …

Mechanisms and implications of deep earthquakes

Z Zhan - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Deep earthquakes behave like shallow earthquakes but must have fundamentally different
physical processes. Their rupture behaviors, magnitude-frequency statistics, and aftershocks …

P-wave anisotropic tomography of NE China: insight into lithospheric deformation, mantle dynamics and intraplate volcanism

R Jia, D Zhao, J Wu - Geophysical Journal International, 2022 - academic.oup.com

Seismic anisotropy and intraslab hydrated faults beneath the NE Japan forearc

Z Wang, D Zhao, X Chen - Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
The water cycle in subduction zones is closely related to the generation of large
earthquakes and arc magmas. Outer‐rise hydrated faults subducting with the oceanic …

Normal‐faulting earthquakes beneath the outer slope of the Japan Trench after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake: Implications for the stress regime in the incoming Pacific …

K Obana, G Fujie, T Takahashi… - Geophysical …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
After the 2011 Mw 9.1 Tohoku earthquake, numerous intraplate earthquakes occurred
beneath the outer slope of the Japan Trench. Based on ocean bottom seismograph …

Seismic imaging of slab metamorphism and genesis of intermediate-depth intraslab earthquakes

A Hasegawa, J Nakajima - Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2017 - Springer
We review studies of intermediate-depth seismicity and seismic imaging of the interior of
subducting slabs in relation to slab metamorphism and their implications for the genesis of …

Regional extent of the large coseismic slip zone of the 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku‐Oki earthquake delineated by on‐fault aftershocks

A Kato, T Igarashi - Geophysical research letters, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Since the 2011 Tohoku‐Oki earthquake, many fault source models have been constructed
using a variety of data, such as teleseismic, strong ground motion, geodetic, and tsunami …
