Annual Report on the Environment in Japan

, 2009
The white paper on comprehensive environmental policy describes the role of Japan's economy in a sound global environment. In the first part, the report describes current the environmental conditions of the Earth and of Japan, human activities in Japan ...

Numerical analysis of deformation in the upper part of subduction zones [PDF]

, 1981
The stresses and deformation in an accretionary prism, and the crystalline basement behind and beneath it, have been modelled using finite element analysis, assuming a visco-elastic Maxwell rheology for the rocks involved.

Distribution of stress state in the Nankai subduction zone, southwest Japan and a comparison with Japan Trench [PDF]

, 2015
To better understand the distribution of three dimensional stress states in the Nankai subduction zone, southwest Japan, we review various stress-related investigations carried out in the first and second stage expeditions of the Nankai Trough ...

Prediction of Complex Observed Shear Wave Splitting Patterns at Ryukyu Subduction Zone Using a Strong Intra‐Slab Anisotropy Model

Geophysical Research Letters
Complex shear wave splitting (SWS) patterns in subduction zones are often interpreted geodynamically as resulting from complex mantle flow; however, this may not always be necessary.

IDENTIFICATION OF TSUNAMIGENIC EARTHQUAKE ZONES IN OCEANIC RIDGES AND TRENCHES [PDF]

Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2019
Tsunamigenic earthquakes have been known for their near and far field catastrophic impacts on coastal areas near oceanic ridges and trenches, as well as near tectonic faults in closed and semi- enclosed seas.

Sub‐slab anisotropy beneath the Sumatra and circum‐Pacific subduction zones from source‐side shear wave splitting observations

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2014
Understanding the dynamics of subduction is critical to our overall understanding of plate tectonics and the solid Earth system. Observations of seismic anisotropy can yield constraints on deformation patterns in the mantle surrounding subducting slabs ...

Trench‐Parallel Fluid Migration and Its Transient Discharge in a Cold Subduction Zone Decoded by Geochemistry of Subducted Cherts

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The presence of fluid plays a critical role in controlling the fault slips and the seismogenesis in subduction zones. However, the origins and pathways of the fluid remain poorly understood.
