Towards inferring earthquake patterns from geodetic observations of interseismic coupling
Ultimately, seismotectonic studies seek to provide ways of assessing the timing, magnitude and spatial extent of future earthquakes. Ample observations document the spatial variability in interseismic coupling, defined as a degree of locking of a fault during the period of stress build-up between seismic events: fully or nearly locked fault patches are often surrounded by aseismically creeping ...
متن کاملInterrelationships Between Topography, Quaternary Vertical Displacement, Active Faults and Short-term Horizontal Crustal Strain in Honshu, Japan
Regional and local characteristics of active fault patterns and elevation variation throughout Honshu, Japan are characterized in terms of their fractal dimensions; this allows variation in these complex variables to be compared directly to the scalar properties of net Quaternary vertical displacement, elevation and 10and 110-year horizontal strains. The comparisons reveal that, throughout Hons...
متن کاملgeometric modeling of the horizontal tectonic movements in japan, using geodetic observations
japan is a region of active plate tectonics, well known for its japanese trench a geological feature evolving as a result of north pacific (np) oceanic plate pushing and sub-ducting underneath the north american (na) plate. multiple plate tectonics have been continuously recorded in the region since 1979 by the network of gps stations called geonet. the network operating and monitoring more tha...

S1 An example of shear stress evolution in the VS patch during coseismic slip. Shear stress τ with respect to a reference stress value foσ̄ at the center of the VS patch (x = 120 km) is shown as a function of the coseismic slip of event 20 in Fig. 2b. The open circle indicates the stress τ i vs before the arrival of the dynamic rupture. The open triangle shows the peak shear stress τ vs. The ope...
متن کاملCrustal anisotropy across northern Japan from receiver functions
Northern Japan is a tectonically active area, with the presence of several volcanoes, and with frequent earthquakes among which the destructive Mw = 8.9-9.0 Tohoku-oki occurred on 11 March 2011. Tectonic activity leaves an imprint on the crustal structures, on both the upper and the lower layers. To investigate the crust in northern Japan, we construct a receiver function data set using telese...
