Comparative Analysis of Seismicity Across Three Depth‐Dependent Slip Regimes in the Japan Trench Subduction Zone

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Understanding the cause of spatial variations in seismicity is crucial for comprehending the physics governing earthquake activity. Off Iwate, in the northern Japan Trench subduction zone, the plate boundary can be divided into three distinct zones based on depth‐dependent slip regimes: the slow earthquake, asperity, and stable creeping zones.

Shallow Creep in the Leaky Stress Shadow of Locked Zones of Subduction Megathrust

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract 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). Here we explain that shallow creep occurs in the stress shadow for two reasons: (a) prolonged afterslip and (b) a leaky ...

Exploration for Natural Hydrate in Nankai-Trough Wells Offshore Japan

Offshore Technology Conference, 2001
Abstract Exploration for natural methane hydrate was carried out in the Nankai-Trough offshore Japan at a water depth of 945m over an 88 day period, from November 1999 to February 2000. This was a national project led by Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) to seek a new energy source.

On the Application of 1 Versus 2 State Variable Rate‐and‐State Friction Laws: An Example From the Nankai Trough Megasplay Fault Zone

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Frictional slip behavior in fault zones can be analyzed with friction laws using 1 or 2 state variables, but the physical meaning and applicability of the 2‐state variable form of the law remain unclear. Here, we re‐analyze friction experiments by Roesner et al. (2022, https://doi.org/10.1186/s40623‐022‐01728‐w) using a natural sample from the

Frontal Thrust Ramp‐Up and Slow Earthquakes Due To Underthrusting of Basement High in the Nankai Trough

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Recently, integrated geophysical‐geological surveys in the Nankai subduction zone in Japan have revealed that slow earthquakes repeatedly occur beneath the outer wedge of the forearc.

Shallow very-low-frequency earthquakes accompany slow slip events in the Nankai subduction zone

Nature Communications, 2018
Slow earthquakes are now increasingly recognised to occur at plate boundaries globally. Here, the authors examine seafloor observational data from the Nankai trough and find that very-low-frequency events and slow-slip events frequently occur together ...

Oral Celastrol Nanomedicine Targeting Intestinal Antigen‐Presenting Cells to Effectively Mitigate Autoimmune Uveitis via Gut‐Retina Axis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 20, 9 April 2026.
Oral nanoCEL exhibits effective intestinal targeting of antigen‐presenting cells and restores the Th17/Treg balance in lymph nodes and spleen, ultimately protecting the blood‐retinal barrier by inhibiting peripheral immune cell infiltration and suppressing retinal glial cell activation.

Reconstruction of stress trajectory field in Nankai subduction zone based on drilling data

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
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 ...

Outline of the Nankai Trough Seismogenic Zone Experiment

The Journal of the Geological Society of Japan, 2009
This report introduces the scientific drilling project “NanTroSEIZE (Nankai Trough Seismogenic Zone Experiment)” proposed for the IODP (Integrated Ocean Drilling Program). NanTroSEIZE is a large, international, multidisciplinary scientific project that required long-term planning and implementation.
