Diffusional earthquakes and their slip-distance scaling
Dye SK Sato, Keisuke Yoshida
The final size of an earthquake typically cannot be predicted from its ongoing seismic radiation. Expanding observations reveal distinct exceptions, such as slow earthquakes, injec…
Smooth surface reconstruction of earthquake faults from distributed moment-potency-tensor solutions
Dye SK Sato, Yuji Yagi, Ryo Okuwaki +1
Earthquake faults as observed by seismic motions primarily manifest as displacement discontinuities within elastic continua. The displacement discontinuity and the surface normal v…
Postseismicity of slow-slip doublets discerned on the outermost of the Nankai Trough subduction megathrust
Dye SK Sato, Takane Hori, Takeshi Iinuma +2
Despite dissimilar slip rates, slow earthquakes are faulting as ordinary earthquakes are. It is therefore physically natural that slow earthquakes also cause postseismic motions si…
Differentiating frictionally locked asperities from kinematically coupled zones
Dye SK Sato, Takane Hori, Yukitoshi Fukahata
Seismogenic areas on plate-boundary faults resist slipping until earthquakes begin. The delay in slip relative to plate motion, termed slip deficit, represents plate coupling as an…
