IODP Expedition 333: Return to Nankai Trough Subduction Inputs Sites and Coring of Mass Transport Deposits [PDF]
Scientific Drilling, 2012 Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 333 returned to two sites drilled during IODP Expedition 322 on the ocean side of the Nankai Trough to pursue the characterization of the inputs to the Nankai subduction and seismogenic zone, as part of

A b map implying the first eastern rupture of the Nankai Trough earthquakes [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Earthquakes generated from the Nankai Trough have caused much devastation over the years. Here, the authors present a b-value map for the Nankai Trough zone, where the Eastern part of the trough has lower b-values than the West, which may help to explain

Topography of the subducting basement throughout the entire Nankai Trough [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe heterogeneous distributions of large and slow earthquakes in subduction zones are caused by multiple uncertain conditions in the source regions, and the basement topography is considered one of the major controlling factors.

Link between the Nankai underthrust turbidites and shallow slow earthquakes [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Trench sediments such as pelagic clay or terrigenous turbidites have long been invoked to explain the seismogenic behavior of the megathrust fault (i.e., décollement).

Muroto Project: Scientifi c Drilling of the Late Pliocene Forearc Basin Deposit on the West Coast of Muroto Peninsula, Shikoku, Japan [PDF]
Scientific Drilling, 2006 The Muroto Peninsula on the Pacifi c margin of southwest Japan (Fig.1) formed as a result of tectonic events associated with oblique subduction along the Nankai Trough (Sugiyama, 1992, 1994). Late Pliocene forearc basin deposits of the Tonohama Group are

A review of shallow slow earthquakes along the Nankai Trough
Earth, Planets and Space, 2023 Slow earthquakes occur at deep and shallow plate boundaries along the Nankai Trough. Deep slow earthquakes are continuously distributed along the 30–40 km depth contours of the upper surface of the subducted Philippine Sea Plate.
