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 …

Earthquakes can change the stress field in the Earth's lithosphere as they relieve and
redistribute stress. Earthquake‐induced stress changes have been observed as temporal …

Abstract National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED)
integrated the land observation networks established since the 1995 Kobe earthquake with …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

Subduction zone megathrust faults host Earth's largest earthquakes, along with multitudes of
smaller events that contribute to plate convergence. An understanding of the faulting …

Constraints on the recurrence times of subduction zone earthquakes are important for
seismic hazard assessment and mitigation. Models of such megathrust earthquakes often …

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 …

Temporal change in the stress field after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake was observed by
stress tensor inversions of focal mechanisms of earthquakes near the source region. The …

Temporal change in the stress field after the 2011 great Tohoku-Oki earthquake was
observed by using stress tensor inversions of earthquakes near the source region. In the …

The oceanic crust that enters a subduction zone is generally recycled to great depth. In rare
and punctuated episodes, however, blueschists and eclogites derived from subducted …
