Postseismic geodetic signature of cold forearc mantle in subduction zones

Haipeng Luo et al.

Summary: The sharp thermal contrast between the cold forearc and the hot arc and backarc is considered crucial for various subduction zone processes, but direct observational evidence is limited. This contrast likely causes a rheological difference in the mantle wedge, impacting postseismic deformation following large subduction earthquakes. Overall, the link between long-term thermal processes and short-term earthquake cycle deformation is important for understanding subduction zone dynamics.

MCMC inversion of the transient and steady-state creep flow law parameters of dunite under dry and wet conditions

Sagar Masuti et al.

Summary: This study investigates the mechanical properties of natural dunites and constrains a constitutive framework that captures both transient and steady state creep. By determining the flow law parameters, including activation energy, stress exponent, and grain-size dependence, under dry and wet conditions, the study provides useful constraints for geodynamics applications. The lower activation energy of transient creep suggests a separate physical mechanism compared to steady-state creep, highlighting the need for more experimental data in this area.

Presence of interplate channel layer controls of slip during and after the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake through the frictional characteristics

Ryoko Nakata et al.

Summary: Significant differences were found between the middle and southern segments of the Japan Trench in terms of seismic and aseismic slips, with the presence of a thick channel layer in the south causing residual gravity anomalies and impacting slip behaviors. The study suggests that this layer makes the megathrust less compliant to seismic slip but promotes aseismic slips following seismic slips in an adjacent region.

Bayesian Inversion for a Stress-Driven Model of Afterslip and Viscoelastic Relaxation: Method and Application to Postseismic Deformation Following the 2011 MW 9.0 Tohoku-Oki Earthquake

Junichi Fukuda et al.

Summary: A method for estimating the parameters of postseismic deformation models following great subduction earthquakes was developed, incorporating afterslip and viscoelastic relaxation mechanisms. Bayesian formulation and algorithm were used to estimate the posterior probability density function, allowing for quantification of uncertainties in the model parameters. Application to the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake showed tight constraints on the model parameters, effectively reproducing spatial and temporal patterns of postseismic deformation.
