A Methodology for Near-Field Tsunami Inundation Forecasting: Application to the 2011 Tohoku Tsunami [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Existing tsunami early warning systems in the world can give either one or a combination of estimated tsunami arrival times, heights, or qualitative tsunami forecasts before the tsunami hits near-field coastlines.

Introduction to the special issue on tectonic environment and seabed resources of the southern Okinawa Trough

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2019
Okinawa Trough (OT) is a back-arc basin behind the Ryukyu arc-trench system and located along the eastern margin of the Eurasian continent. It extends from the southwest Kyushu Island to the Ilan Plain of Taiwan (Fig. 1).

Large Trench-Parallel Gravity Variations Predict Seismogenic Behavior in Subduction Zones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We demonstrate that great earthquakes occur predominantly in regions with a strongly negative trench-parallel gravity anomaly (TPGA), whereas regions with strongly positive TPGA are relatively aseismic.

Prevalence of mud diapirs in the Hyuga-nada subduction zone, southwest Japan, and its implications on hydrogeological processes

open access: yesProgress in Earth and Planetary Science
Mud volcanoes, common seafloor features in subduction zone forearcs, provide crucial insights into deep hydrogeological systems associated with plate subduction.

Analysis and geological interpretation of gravity data from GEOS-3 altimeter [PDF]

open access: yes
A number of detailed gravimetric geoids of portions of the world's oceans from marine gravity measurements were constructed. The geoids were constructed by computing 1 x 1 deg or 10 x 10 deg averages of free-air anomaly data and subtracting these values ...
