| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We aim to construct S-wave velocity structural model using records of ocean bottom seismometers for the shallow seduction zone of Nankai trough where mega-thrust earthquake occurs repeatedly. The S waveforms recorded by the ocean bottom seismometers are heavily distorted by propagating through slow layers in the vicinity of ocean bottom. In this study, we first quantitatively evaluated such distortions by constructing synthetic waveforms using spectral element method. Also we conducted feasibility tests of probabilistic full waveform inversion using Neighborhood algorithm.
During the latter half of the project period, we focused on analyses of very low frequency earthquakes that occurred in the target region in October 2015. We revealed their spatial distribution with respect the shallow subduction zone structure.
