Sedimentary deposits in the distal Kumano forearc basin of the Nankai accretionary margin
off Kii Peninsula, Japan, have been imaged using three-dimensional (3D) seismic data. The …

Forearc basins are one of the fundamental sedimentary basins, and they preserve various
geological phenomena arising from dynamic interactions between subducting and …

To reveal the origin of a backstop and its influence on the evolution of the accretionary
prism, we analyzed reflection seismic data acquired in the Nankai Trough off the Kii …

Since a comprehensive review of forearc basins was published by Dickinson more than 20
years ago, a significant amount of new data about them have been published. These recent …

Gas hydrates are widely distributed in the Kumano forearc basin, which is located above
accretionary prism in the Nankai margin off the Kii peninsula, Japan. Bottom-Simulating …

To reveal the detailed deformation structures related to plate subduction in the Nankai
Trough, we applied up‐to‐date technologies to improve our 3‐D seismic images. This …

We investigate the site amplification characteristics in the 0.2–10 Hz frequency band at the
DONET1 seafloor observation network, which is installed in the Nankai subduction zone in …

Subduction zones are common tectonic features central to large-scale crustal and elemental
cycling, and they are accompanied by basins often with thick sedimentary fill and structures …

Accretionary prisms commonly grow seaward, with the strata of the inner prism consisting of
older, previously accreted outer prism rocks overlain by thick fore‐arc basin strata. We focus …

Abstract The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program, as part of the Nankai Trough Seismogenic
Zone Experiment, recovered samples of mud and mudstone from the Kumano forearc basin …
