DOI: 10.1002/2017gl072918
Abstract: We monitored seafloor crustal deformation at two observation stations on opposite sides of the Nankai Trough from 2013 to 2016 in order to investigate the interplate locking condition along the Central Nankai Trough. We estimated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020jb019841
Abstract: The strength of subduction thrust faults is key to understanding seismogenesis at the provenance of Earth's largest earthquakes. Earthquake focal mechanisms are routinely inverted to constrain the stress state at seismogenic depths. However, on some… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-45781-0
Abstract: Recent seismic and geodetic observations in subduction zones have revealed that slow earthquakes have preceded some large earthquakes. Characterization of slow earthquakes and their relation to large earthquakes provides important clues to constrain a wide… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s40623-018-0803-y
Abstract: Seismic attenuation properties were tested as indicators of lateral variation in geological structures and detection of faults within poorly reflective oceanic crust, on a seismic survey line along the Nankai Trough. We can specify both… read more here.
