The strong ground motions, large crustal deformation, and tsunami generated by the 2011
Tohoku-oki earthquake (M w 9.1) reveal that a large coseismic slip likely propagated to …

Devastating megathrust earthquakes and slow earthquakes both occur along subducting
plate interfaces. These interplate seismic activities are strongly dependent on the nature of …

Slow (aseismic) slip that accommodates part of the long-term plate motion on subduction
megathrusts is thought to be strongly related to the occurrence of large earthquakes on the …

The northeastern Japan arc is located in a typical subduction zone and is a seismically
active region where large interplate earthquakes have occurred repeatedly. The nationwide …

The study investigates tectonic movements in northeast Japan by using long-term (2000–
2022) global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and tide gauge measurements. The effect …

Abstract The March 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake was only the second giant (moment
magnitude M w≥ 9.0) earthquake to occur in the last 50 years and is the most recent to be …

We present a fully Bayesian inversion of kinematic rupture parameters for the 2011 M w9
Tohoku-oki, Japan earthquake. Albeit computationally expensive, this approach to kinematic …

Using a hybrid MPI/OpenMP parallel finite element method for spontaneous rupture and
seismic wave propagation simulations, we investigate features in rupture propagation, slip …

Multichannel seismic (MCS) profiles and bathymetric data from the central Mariana and Izu‐
Bonin subduction systems image the subducting Pacific Plate from the outer trench slope to …

We investigate the 3-DP and S wave velocity structure of the East Japan forearc using a
large number of high-quality arrival-time data of local earthquakes recorded by a permanent …
