A review on slow earthquakes in the Japan Trench

T Nishikawa, S Ide, T Nishimura - Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2023 - Springer
Slow earthquakes are episodic slow fault slips. They form a fundamental component of
interplate deformation processes, along with fast, regular earthquakes. Recent …

Earth's clay mineral inventory and its climate interaction: A quantitative assessment

LN Warr - Earth-Science Reviews, 2022 - Elsevier
Much work has been undertaken quantifying the abundance of phyllosilicate clay minerals
in soils, sediments and rocks of Earth's crust. However, no detailed global compilation of …

Induced seismicity provides insight into why earthquake ruptures stop

M Galis, JP Ampuero, PM Mai, F Cappa - Science advances, 2017 - science.org
Injection-induced earthquakes pose a serious seismic hazard but also offer an opportunity to
gain insight into earthquake physics. Currently used models relating the maximum …

Upper-plate rigidity determines depth-varying rupture behaviour of megathrust earthquakes

V Sallarès, CR Ranero - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
Seismological data provide evidence of a depth-dependent rupture behaviour of
earthquakes occurring at the megathrust fault of subduction zones, also known as …

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 …

The state of stress on the fault before, during, and after a major earthquake

EE Brodsky, JJ Mori, L Anderson… - Annual Review of …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Earthquakes occur by overcoming fault friction; therefore, quantifying fault resistance is
central to earthquake physics. Values for both static and dynamic friction are required, and …

Rupture dynamics of heterogeneous frictional interfaces

E Bayart, I Svetlizky, J Fineberg - Journal of Geophysical …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
The onset of sliding motion is conditional on the propagation of rupture fronts that detach the
contacting asperities forming a frictional interface. These ruptures, when propagating over a …

Fully coupled simulations of megathrust earthquakes and tsunamis in the Japan Trench, Nankai Trough, and Cascadia Subduction Zone

GC Lotto, TN Jeppson, EM Dunham - Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2019 - Springer
Subduction zone earthquakes can produce significant seafloor deformation and devastating
tsunamis. Real subduction zones display remarkable diversity in fault geometry and …

Wedge plasticity and a minimalist dynamic rupture model for the 2011 MW 9.1 Tohoku-Oki earthquake and tsunami

S Ma - Tectonophysics, 2023 - Elsevier
One crucial yet unanswered question about the 2011 MW 9.1 Tohoku-Oki earthquake and
tsunami is what generated the largest tsunami (up to 40 m) along the Sanriku coast north of …

[HTML][HTML] Seismic imaging of subsurface structural variations along the Japan trench south of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake rupture zone

Y Qin, Y Nakamura, S Kodaira, G Fujie - Earth and Planetary Science …, 2022 - Elsevier
The coseismic slip during the 2011 Tohoku earthquake has been revealed to reach the
Japan trench axis, but the detailed slip behaviors in different zones along the trench remain …
