A review on slow earthquakes in the Japan Trench
Slow earthquakes are episodic slow fault slips. They form a fundamental component of
interplate deformation processes, along with fast, regular earthquakes. Recent …

Incoming plate structure at the Japan Trench subduction zone revealed in densely spaced reflection seismic profiles
The structure of the incoming plate is an important element that is often considered to be
related to the occurrence of great earthquakes in subduction zones. In the Japan Trench …
