Recurrence of postseismic coastal uplift, Kuril subduction zone, Japan
[1] Coastal stratigraphy of eastern Hokkaido indicates that decimeters of coastal uplift occurred repeatedly in the late Holocene. Employing radiocarbon dating and tephrochronology, we identify along a 100 km length of the Kuril subduction zone six uplift events since 2,800 years B.P. Uplift events occur at the same frequency as unusually high tsunamis. Each coastal uplift event, which occurs o...
متن کاملAnelastic properties beneath the Niigata–Kobe Tectonic Zone, Japan
We estimate the three-dimensional (3D) P-wave attenuation structure beneath the Niigata–Kobe Tectonic Zone (NKTZ), central Japan, using high-quality waveform data from a large number of stations. The obtained results confirm the segmentation of the NKTZ into three regions, as suggested by 3D seismic velocity models, and reveal characteristic structures related to surface deformation, shallow su...
متن کاملSubduction zone anisotropy beneath Corvallis, Oregon: A serpentinite skid mark of trench-parallel terrane migration?
[1] We studied the back azimuth dependence of Ps converted phases at GSN station COR (Corvallis, Oregon) using broadband P receiver functions computed from 602 teleseismic earthquakes. The amplitudes and polarities of the transverse Ps phases are largely two-lobed, which indicates anisotropy with a tilted symmetry axis. A double-peaked Ps conversion at 4.5–6.5 s delay has the moveout of a dippi...
متن کاملTime-scales of magma formation, ascent and storage beneath subduction-zone volcanoes
There is now su ̄ cient information to attempt an integrated model for melt generation, transfer and storage beneath subduction-zone volcanoes. Fluid release from the subducting oceanic crust into the mantle wedge may occur over a period ranging from a few hundred kyr, to as little as less than 1 kyr, before eruption. This supports models in which ®uid addition is closely linked to partial melti...
متن کاملSubduction zone rheology
Rheological flow laws can be obtained from studies using multi-anvil high-pressure systems with synchrotron-based piezometers and strain metrics. The high flux X-ray source provides minute-scale time resolution with accurate measurement of diffraction patterns and direct sample images. Measurements of length changes with an accuracy of one part in 104 are being developed and will provide a new ...
