The 2011 Tohoku earthquake and devastating tsunami.
At 14:46 on March 11, 2011, the magnitude-9.0 earthquake attacked Sendai and neighboring cities distributed along the northeast coast of Honshu Island, Japan. Its epicenter is located 130 km east of Sendai (Fig. 1). Unfortunate ly, the strong earthquake generated devastating tsunamis that destroyed many towns and villages near the seashore in Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima prefectures. The natura...
متن کاملIntroduction to the Special Issue on the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami
The 11 March 2011 Tohoku earthquake (05:46:24 UTC) involved a massive rupture of the plate-boundary fault along which the Pacific plate thrusts under northeastern Honshu, Japan. It was the fourth-largest recorded earthquake, with seismic-moment estimates of 3–5 × 10 N·m (Mw 9.0). The event produced widespread strong ground shaking in northern Honshu; in some locations ground accelerations excee...
متن کاملSensitivity of tsunami wave profiles and inundation simulations to earthquake slip and fault geometry for the 2011 Tohoku earthquake
In this study, we develop stochastic random-field slip models for the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and conduct a rigorous sensitivity analysis of tsunami hazards with respect to the uncertainty of earthquake slip and fault geometry. Synthetic earthquake slip distributions generated from the modified Mai-Beroza method captured key features of inversion-based source representations of the mega-thrust e...
متن کاملClues from joint inversion of tsunami and geodetic data of the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake
The 2011 Tohoku-oki (Mw 9.1) earthquake is so far the best-observed megathrust rupture, which allowed the collection of unprecedented offshore data. The joint inversion of tsunami waveforms (DART buoys, bottom pressure sensors, coastal wave gauges, and GPS-buoys) and static geodetic data (onshore GPS, seafloor displacements obtained by a GPS/acoustic combination technique), allows us to retriev...
متن کاملEcological and genetic impact of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami on intertidal mud snails
Natural disturbances often destroy local populations and can considerably affect the genetic properties of these populations. The 2011 Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami greatly damaged local populations of various coastal organisms, including the mud snail Batillaria attramentaria, which was an abundant macroinvertebrate on the tidal flats in the Tohoku region. To evaluate the impact of the tsunami on ...
