Earthquake slip surfaces identified by biomarker thermal maturity within the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake fault zone

Nature Communications, 2020
In this study, the authors investigate thermal alteration of organic biomarkers to detect paleo earthquakes in the Japan Trench. The study shows that large earthquakes like the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake can slip through different types of sediment ...

Distribution of low-frequency earthquakes accompanying the very low frequency earthquakes along the Ryukyu Trench

Earth, Planets and Space, 2017
This study investigated the activity and distribution of low-frequency earthquakes (LFEs) accompanying the very low frequency earthquakes (VLFEs) in the central and southern Ryukyu Trench.

Normal faults geometry and slip tendency in the outer-rise of the Japan Trench

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science
The incoming oceanic plate bends while approaching the subduction zone in the trench, and normal faults, which can cause earthquakes, develop because of the plate bending. Near the Japan Trench, historical outer-rise earthquakes (M8-class) that generated

Taxonomy of actinomycetes in the deep-sea Calyptogena communities and characterization of the antibacterial compound produced by Actinomadura sp. DS-MS-114

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2017
Fifteen actinomycetes were isolated from deep-sea sediments in Calyptogena communities in the Japan Trench (depth: 5352 m) and Sagami Bay (depth: 1171 m) under incubation at 4–37 °C.

Connection between high pore-fluid pressure and frictional instability at tsunamigenic plate boundary fault of 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake

Scientific Reports, 2022
The 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake (M 9.0) rupture propagated along a shallow plate boundary thrust fault (i.e. decollement) to the trench, displaced the seafloor, and triggered a devastating tsunami.

Anisotropic structure at shallow depths across the Japan Trench

Earth, Planets and Space
Anisotropic structures within the crust are frequently perceived to originate from stress-induced cracks, which have been mainly estimated on land through different wave speeds of orthogonally polarized S waves propagating in the anisotropic media ...

Enhancing event stratigraphic correlations in the ultra‐deep Japan Trench using XRF‐CS cluster‐based chemostratigraphy

The Depositional Record
Establishing along‐strike correlations of event deposits in deep‐sea environments allows for the reconstruction of spatial and temporal patterns of geological processes, such as seismically triggered turbidites.

Tectonically-triggered sediment and carbon export to the Hadal zone

Nature Communications, 2018
Within sediments in deep ocean trenches an earthquake record may be observed. Here, the authors present 14C data on bulk organic carbon (OC) and thermal decomposition from a sediment core in the Japan Trench and match OC values with known earthquake ...
