Outline of Final Research Achievements

We estimated the seismic anisotropy at the shallow part beneath the seafloor, using records from ocean bottom seismometers (OBSs) deployed in the Pacific Ocean. A receiver function analysis was applied to P coda from teleseismic events, which were observed by OBSs, and a shear wave splitting analysis was applied to P-to-s waves converted at the basement top and oceanic Moho. Using records obtained from OBSs deployed around the Japan Trench, we estimated the anisotropic structure at the shallow depths of the plate outside and inside the trench. In particular, our results obtained inside the Japan Trench show that the anisotropic structure may be affected by afterslips of the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

地震学的異方性構造は地殻にかかる応力場を反映している。そのため、沈み込み帯などの地震発生帯で異方性を推定することで、巨大地震の発生と応力場の関連性を議論することが可能となる。本研究では、日本海溝から千島海溝にかけて、上盤側のプレート浅部における応力場が空間的に変化していることを明らかにした。これは過去に発生した巨大地震の余効変動の空間的な変化を反映している可能性があり、本研究の結果は、今後、異方性構造の推定が現在の余効変動の状況を探るための手段となりうる可能性を示唆している。
