5 Questions
What is the main focus of the study?
The main focus of the study is to infer the relationship between overpressure and slow earthquakes in the subduction zone of Hyuga-nada at the western Nankai Trough, Japan.
What is the significance of the Nankai Trough in Japan?
The Nankai Trough in Japan is significant because it is an area with a subduction zone where earthquake records are well archived, and slow earthquakes have been detected in this zone over the past 20 years.
What is the purpose of understanding the dynamics and deformation in the subduction zone?
The purpose of understanding the dynamics and deformation in the subduction zone is to gain knowledge about slow earthquakes, which might occur and trigger bigger earthquakes.
Which institutions are involved in the study?
The study involves the Department of Geophysical Engineering, Faculty of Civil Planning and Geo Engineering at Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember in Indonesia, and the Earthquake Research Institute at the University of Tokyo in Japan.
What is the contact email provided for one of the authors?
