The Near-Source ScS Phase from the 2011 Tohoku-Oki Earthquake Might Have Triggered a Relatively Slow Slip on the Megathrust Boundaries Beneath the Broad Area of Japan
SLOW-TO-FAST EARTHQUAKES FROM SHALLOW TO DEEP: OBSERVATIONS, EXPERIMENTS, AND NUMERICAL MODELING I ORAL
tectonophysics | 11 december 2023
Sunyoung Park, Hiroo Kanamori, Luis A. Rivera
The MW 9.0 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake generated a strong ScS phase with a peak-to-peak amplitude larger than 1 cm in Japan. This near-source ScS phase...
