After more than 100 years of earthquake research, earthquake forecasting, which relies on
knowledge of past fault rupture patterns, has become the foundation for societal defense …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

ABSTRACT The 1923 Taisho Kanto earthquake—an interplate event along the Sagami
trough where the Philippine Sea plate subducts beneath the Kanto region—produced …

The future of islands has been the subject of international concern, scientific debate and
media interest in the last decade. As a result of global warming and sea level rise …

We propose a new energy‐based method to construct rupture scenarios for anticipated
megathrust earthquakes by using an interseismic slip‐deficit model. Our method bridges the …

We present the spatiotemporal evolution of the Boso slow slip event with a moment of 20×
10 18 N m that occurred in June 2018; such events, which have a duration of 1–2 weeks …

We quantitatively evaluated the emergence ages of the tectonically uplifted marine terraces,
called the Numa terraces, in the southernmost part of the Boso Peninsula, central Japan …

We measured the emergence ages of four marine terraces in the Chikura lowland, which
lies to the southeast of the Boso Peninsula, in eastern Japan, to reevaluate the history of the …

Abstract The Kanto Basin, the largest lowland in Japan, developed by flexure as a result of
(1) the subduction of the Philippine Sea (PHS) and the Pacific (PAC) plates and (2) the …

We determined the slip distribution of a slow‐slip event (SSE) off the Boso Peninsula, Japan,
from ocean bottom pressure gauge (OBP) observations. Most large SSEs occur under the …
