Damage Assessment of the 2011 Japanese Tsunami Using High-Resolution Satellite Data
On 11 March 2011 at 05:46 UTC, a massive Mw 9.0 underwater earthquake occurred 70 km off the eastern coast of Japan. The location of the earthquake was triangulated by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to 38.322 N 142.369 E, and the hypocentre was computed to 32 km beneath the surface. Figure 1 shows a map of the earthquakes that occurred between 1 and 10 March 2011 (a) and between 11 ...
متن کاملModeling near‐field tsunami observations to improve finite‐fault slip models for the 11 March 2011 Tohoku earthquake
[1] The massive tsunami generated by the 11 March 2011 Tohoku earthquake (Mw 9.0) was widely recorded by GPS buoys, wave gauges, and ocean bottom pressure sensors around the source. Numerous inversions for finite‐fault slip time histories have been performed using seismic and/ or geodetic observations, yielding generally consistent patterns of large co‐seismic slip offshore near the hypocenter ...

Although this catastrophe has caused the most devastating damage to Japan since World War II, we believe that our systematic preparation for disasters somewhat alleviated the damage. Learning lessons from the magnitude 7.3 Great Hanshin earthquake in 1995, the government organized approximately 700 medical teams spec...
