Long-term slow slip events along the Nankai trough delayed by the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, Japan

Earth, Planets and Space, 2020
The Global Navigation Satellite System network in Japan detected transient crustal deformation along the Nankai trough, Japan, from June 2018. Time-dependent inversion analysis shows that a long-term slow slip event in northern Hyuga-nada Sea along the ...

Mechanical Weakness of the Nankai Accretionary Prism: Insights From Vp Measurements of Drill Cuttings

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
The relationship between P‐wave velocity (Vp) and unconfined compressive strength (C0) can be used to estimate in situ rock strength and stresses at depth in subduction zones.

Characteristics of Microbial Community Structure at the Seafloor Surface of the Nankai Trough

, 2019
Phylogenetic analysis of bacteria and archaea on the seafloor surface of the Nankai Trough was conducted. DNA was extracted from a total of 14 samples (2 samples from 1 methane seep area and 12 samples from 12 general seafloor areas) and analyzed ...

Simulation of great earthquakes along the Nankai Trough: reproduction of event history, slip areas of the Showa Tonankai and Nankai earthquakes, heterogeneous slip-deficit rates, and long-term slow slip events

Earth, Planets and Space, 2022
Great earthquakes have occurred repeatedly along the Nankai Trough, but only for recent events are details known, such as rupture areas and time lags between paired events.

Estimate of the contraction rate of central Japan through the deformation of the Philippine Sea slab

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2019
The Philippine Sea (PHS) slab is severely deformed beneath central Japan, but it is subject to little deformation before the subduction along the Nankai Trough.

The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

Structural Evolution of the Eastern Nankai Trough accretionary prism, Central Japan—Subduction of Trough-Parallel Seamount Chains

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science
The Nankai Trough, offshore of Southwest Japan, represents a plate subduction zone where a long history of devastating mega-earthquake and tsunami events has been best documented.
