Abstract The 2011 March 11 Tohoku-oki great (Mw 9.1) earthquake ruptured the plate
boundary megathrust fault offshore of northern Honshu with estimates of shallow slip of 50 m …

Earthquakes can change the stress field in the Earth's lithosphere as they relieve and
redistribute stress. Earthquake‐induced stress changes have been observed as temporal …

The mechanics of great subduction earthquakes are influenced by the frictional properties,
structure, and composition of the plate-boundary fault. We present observations of the …

Subduction zone megathrust faults host Earth's largest earthquakes, along with multitudes of
smaller events that contribute to plate convergence. An understanding of the faulting …

Abstract On 16 September 2015, the MW= 8.2 Illapel megathrust earthquake ruptured the
Central Chilean margin. Combining inversions of displacement measurements and seismic …

Temporal change in the stress field after the 2011 great Tohoku-Oki earthquake was
observed by using stress tensor inversions of earthquakes near the source region. In the …

The three largest recent great subduction zone earthquakes (2011 M9. 0 Tohoku, Japan;
2010 M8. 8 Maule, Chile; and 2004 M9. 2 Sumatra‐Andaman) exhibit similar coseismic …

The 2011 moment magnitude 9.0 Tohoku-Oki earthquake produced a maximum coseismic
slip of more than 50 meters near the Japan trench, which could result in a completely …

We use two recent Japanese earthquakes to demonstrate the rich potential, as well as some
of the challenges, of differencing repeat airborne Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) …

After the occurrence of the 2011 Mw9. 0 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku earthquake, an
unusual shallow normal‐faulting earthquake sequence occurred near the Pacific coast at …
