Estimation of Minimum Principal Stress from an Extended Leak-off Test Onboard the Chikyu Drilling Vessel and Suggestions for Future Test Procedures [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Drilling, 2008
To understand the physics of faulting and rupture propagation for the great M8-class Nankai earthquakes that recur approximately every 100 years, a comprehensive drilling project is underway: the Nankai Trough Seismogenic Zone Experiment (NanTroSEIZE ...

Microbial methane production rates in gas hydrate-bearing sediments from the eastern Nankai Trough, off central Japan

open access: yes, 2009
Gas hydrates and associated high methane concentrations are widely distributed along the boundary of the Nankai Trough off Japan. Radiotracer activity measurements were conducted to estimate current methane production rates in sediment cores at two ...

A review of shallow slow earthquakes along the Nankai Trough

open access: yesEarth, 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.

DONET: A Real-Time Monitoring System for Megathrust Earthquakes and Tsunamis Around Southwestern Japan [PDF]

open access: yesOceanography, 2014
DONET (Dense Ocean floor Network for Earthquakes and Tsunamis; https://www.jamstec.go.jp/donet/e/index.html) is a cabled seafloor observatory that monitors the Nankai and Tōnankai seismogenic zones, offshore southwestern Japan, in real time. In 1944, two

Friction velocity dependence of sediments from the Nankai Trough, Japan

open access: yes, 2021
To investigate frictional behavior of sediments along the Kumano transect in the Nankai Trough, Japan, friction experiments were conducted using a single-direct shear device at MARUM, University of Bremen under room temperature conditions with 3.5 ...

Improving Detectability of Seafloor Deformation From Bottom Pressure Observations Using Numerical Ocean Models

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
We investigated ocean bottom pressure (OBP) observation data at six plate subduction zones around the Pacific Ocean. The six regions included the Hikurangi Trough, the Nankai Trough, the Japan Trench, the Aleutian Trench, the Cascadia Subduction Zone ...
