Reconstruction of stress trajectory field in Nankai subduction zone based on drilling data
This paper presents some results of stress field reconstruction in the Nankai Trough subduction zone located within the area bounded by 136.3°–137°E and 33°–33.5°N where 12 scientific wells were drilled during Nankai Trough Seismogenic Zone Experiment ...

Temperature limits to deep subseafloor life in the Nankai Trough subduction zone [PDF]
Deep, hot, and more alive than we thought Marine sediments represent a massive microbial ecosystem, but we still do not fully understand what factors shape and limit life underneath the seafloor. Analyzing samples from a subduction zone off the coast of Japan, Heuer et al.

High-velocity frictional properties of clay-rich fault gouge in a megasplay fault zone, Nankai subduction zone [PDF]
We conducted high-velocity friction experiments on clay-rich fault gouge taken from the megasplay fault zone in the Nankai subduction zone under dry and wet conditions.

Structural control on the nucleation of megathrust earthquakes in the Nankai subduction zone [PDF]
AbstractTo clarify the causal mechanisms of megathrust earthquakes, we studied the detailed three‐dimensional P and S wave velocities (V), attenuation (Q), and Poisson's ratio (σ) structures of the Nankai subduction zone in southwest Japan, using a large number of high‐quality arrival time and t* data measured precisely from seismograms of local ...

Shallow Creep in the Leaky Stress Shadow of Locked Zones of Subduction Megathrust
In some subduction zones such as Nankai, creeping of the shallow part of the megathrust in the stress shadow of deeper locked zones is detected by seafloor geodetic measurements and/or reflected by slow earthquakes (SEQs).

Slow slip event within a gap between tremor and locked zones in the Nankai subduction zone [PDF]
AbstractWe report on two small long‐term slow slip events (SSEs) within a gap between tremor and locked zones in the Nankai subduction zone, southwest Japan. The SSEs were detected by subtracting the steady state component and postseismic effects of large earthquakes from long‐term and high‐density Global Navigation Satellite System data.

Fluid migration before and during slow earthquakes in the shallow Nankai subduction zone [PDF]
Abstract Fluid migration in subduction zones is a key controlling factor of slow and megathrust earthquakes at plate boundaries. During the migration, seismic velocity and heterogeneous structures in its pathways may be temporarily perturbed, preferably triggering slow earthquakes.

Structural control and system-level behavior of the seismic cycle at the Nankai Trough
The Nankai Trough in Southwest Japan exhibits a wide spectrum of fault slip, with long-term and short-term slow-slip events, slow and fast earthquakes, all associated with different segments down the plate interface.
