The Great East Japan Earthquake (Tohoku Earthquake) that occurred in 2011 caused serious damage to a widespread area. The human damage and number of buildings drowned out by the tsunami were great,and there were many cases where old buildings were damaged by the shock of the earthquake. ...

The unprecedented geophysical and hydrographic data sets from the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami have facilitated numerous modeling and inversion analyses for a wide range of dislocation models. Significant uncertainties remain in the slip distribution as well as the possible contribution of tsunami exc...

31 to reproduce a shorter duration during the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake43, where G is the rigidity and c is the shear wave velocity. In many previous studies, the simulations have been carried out assuming an elastic homogeneous half-space, where \(\dot \varepsilon _{\mathrm{v}} = 0\...
The primary objective of this study, therefore, is to determine whether a tsunami generated by a “dual source,” i.e., the combination of an earthquake and an SMF, can explain the on- and offshore tsunami data for the 2011 Tohoku event. To do this we proceed as follows. We first sh...
Thus, the tsunami propagation distance during the duration of the M~7 earthquake (~10 s) and the time interval between two subevents (~10 s) is about 3 km, which is sufficiently small compared to the extent of the tsunami source model (~100 km, Inazu and Saito (2014)). We consider...
[2011], which showed near-field magnetic variations after 2011 Tohoku earthquake. Due to the short distance to the epicenter, they had to carefully separate the magnetic effects from tsunami water flows and those from seismo-ionospheric variations. Also, because the stations are too close to the...
Tectonic control of the coseismic slip distribution of the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake Many researchers have studied the coseismic slip distribution and rupture process of the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake using seismic, geodetic, and tsunami data. There are considerable differences among them (Yagi 2012)...
