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 …

The 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake ruptured a large source region, which included areas with
a range of past M 7 to M 8 earthquakes, varying stress accumulation, and different structural …

We describe two transient slow slip events that occurred before the 2011 Tohoku-Oki
earthquake. The first transient crustal deformation, which occurred over a period of a week in …

The Franciscan Complex of California records over 150 million years of continuous E-
dipping subduction that terminated with conversion to a dextral transform plate boundary …

We report an uplift of 5 m with a horizontal displacement of more than 60 m due to the 2011
Tohoku‐Oki earthquake. The uplift was measured by an ocean‐bottom pressure gauge …

Seafloor geodetic measurements using the GPS/acoustic technique just above the rupture
area of the 2011 Tohoku‐Oki earthquake revealed strong trench‐normal variation in the …

Fault rupture during the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake, which generated a huge tsunami, is
thought to have propagated to a shallow part of the subduction zone,,. This observation calls …

The diverse mechanical behaviors of subduction zones during the seismic cycle emerge
from the nonlinear dynamics of a complex mechanical system with interacting brittle and …

The slip distribution of the 11 March 2011 Tohoku earthquake is inferred from tsunami
waveforms, GPS data, and seafloor crustal deformation data. The major slip region extends …

Resolving rupture processes of great earthquakes has fundamental importance to the study
of earthquake physics, rupture dynamics, fault zone structure, and evolving processes. It …
