The Tohoku Megathrust Earthquake Cycle: Unravelling Key Processes Using Data Assimilation
Earthquakes at subduction zones are among the most powerful natural events on Earth. During the interseismic, coseismic, and postseismic phases, interseismic coupling, co- and postseismic slip along the megathrust, and viscoelastic relaxation in the mantle produce the observed surface displacements. Different combinati...
