Evidence of Dynamic Crustal Deformation in Tohoku, Japan, From Time-Varying Receiver Functions

Crustal anisotropy across northern Japan from receiver functions

Northern Japan is a tectonically active area, with the presence of several volcanoes, and with frequent earthquakes among which the destructive Mw  = 8.9-9.0 Tohoku-oki occurred on 11 March 2011. Tectonic activity leaves an imprint on the crustal structures, on both the upper and the lower layers. To investigate the crust in northern Japan, we construct a receiver function data set using telese...

Excess strain in the Echigo Plain sedimentary basin, NE Japan: evidence from coseismic deformation of the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake

Detection of Crustal Movements in the 2011 Tohoku, Japan Earthquake Using High-resolution Sar Data

Significant crustal movements were caused by the 2011 Tohoku, Japan Earthquake. A method for capturing the surface movements from TerraSAR-X intensity images is proposed in this study. First, the buildings were extracted from the preand post-event images using a segmentation approach. Then, the unchanged buildings were detected by matching the buildings in the preand post-event images at simila...

the crustal structure beneath the northwest of the zagros (kermanshah region) from teleseismic receiver functions

in this study, we used teleseismic data which was recorded by 5 stations (dhr, ghg, kom, lin and vis) of the kermanshah seismic network from 2003 to 2007 with mb?5.5 and epicentral distances from 30° to 95°. the crustal structure beneath these stations was determined by the modeling of the p receiver functions. the main phases, which were observed in our final p receiver functions, are moho con...

Regional mapping of the crustal structure in southern California from receiver functions

[1] Lateral variations of the crustal structure in southern California are determined from receiver function (RF) studies using data from the Southern California Seismic Network broadband stations and Los Angeles Regional Seismic Experiment surveys. The results include crustal thickness estimates at the stations themselves, and where possible, cross sections are drawn. The large-scale Moho dept...
