Seismicity around the trench axis and outer-rise region of the southern Japan Trench, south of the main rupture area of the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake

Koichiro Obana et al.

Summary: The study investigated aftershock activities in the southern Japan Trench and found linear earthquake trends parallel and oblique to the trench axis. In the trench landward area, earthquake activity showed variations along the trench, with shallow near-trench regular earthquakes observed near the trench axis. The study also suggested that smaller spatial scale structure heterogeneity could relate to the diversity of slip behaviors in the shallow subduction zone.

Mantle-derived helium released through the Japan trench bend-faults

Jin-Oh Park et al.

Summary: Research suggests that bend-faults develop at the outer trench-slope of the oceanic plate incoming into the subduction zone, providing pathways for seawater to flow into the oceanic crust and the upper mantle, thus playing a key role in promoting hydration of the oceanic plate. Anomalously high helium isotope ratios in sediment pore water and seismic reflection data indicate the possibility of fluid infiltration into the upper mantle along bend-faults.
