Abstract: The 2011 Tōhoku-Oki earthquake revealed that co-seismic displacement along the plate boundary megathrust can propagate to the trench. Co-seismic slip to the trench amplifies hazards at subduction zones, so its historical occurrence should also be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/g52797.1
Abstract: Deformation of trench-fill sediments at the central Japan Trench axis confirms that coseismic slip during the 2011 CE Mw 9.1 Tōhoku-oki earthquake extended to the shallowest part of the megathrust fault, contributing to the unexpectedly… read more here.
