A dense nationwide seismic network recently constructed in Japan has been yielding large
volumes of high-quality data that have made it possible to investigate the seismic structure in …

Abstract The Nankai-Suruga Trough, the subduction zone that lies immediately south of
Japan's densely populated southern coastline, generates devastating great earthquakes …

A GPS array with about 1,000 permanent stations is under operation in Japan. The GPS
array revealed coseismic deformations associated with large earthquakes and ongoing …

Silent-slip events have been detected at several subduction zones, but the cause of these
events is unknown. Using seismic imaging, we detected a cause of the Tokai silent slip …

Interseismic deformation in Japan results from the combined effects of tectonic processes
including rotation of crustal blocks and the earthquake cycle process of elastic strain …

Published areas of high coseismic slip, or asperities, for 29 of the largest Circum‐Pacific
megathrust earthquakes are compared to forearc structure revealed by satellite free‐air …

We have been develo** a system for detecting seafloor crustal movement by combining
kinematic GPS and acoustic ranging techniques. A linear inversion method is adopted to …

The nature of seismic coupling for many of the world's subduction zones has been
reevaluated. Geodetic estimates of seismic coupling obtained from GPS measurements of …

Analysis of global positioning system data shows that the rate of crustal deformations in the
Tokai region of Japan, a seismic gap area, changed over the past 18 months. Kalman …

The dense continuous GPS network of Japan, now called GEONET, has been operated
since 1994 by the Geographical Survey Institute. GEONET provides precise daily …
