| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I constructed a framework to predict the thermal structure of subduction zones including its uncertainty based on Bayesian inversion. The obtained depth uncertainties for isotherms are about 10 and 20 km for the 600 and 1200C isotherms, respectively. When this uncertainty is considered, the location of the serpentinite-out boundary matches that of the lower plane of double seismic zone in Tohoku region. It suggests that dehydration may be important in triggering intermediate-depth seismicity. I also conducted numerical modeling to investigate possible impact of anisotropic thermal conductivity in the mantle wedge on the subduction zone thermal structure. I found that the obtained temperature differences between the anisotropic and isotropic cases are only up to 30C within the slab. The effects of rock deformation on fluid migration is also tested in a simple model setting.

スラブ内地震の発生には、スラブから放出される水が重要な役割を果たすと考えられている。そしてスラブからの水の放出率と発生場所は温度に大きく支配される。本研究では沈み込み帯の温度構造を、データ科学的手法を用いて物性や観測データの不確かさまで含めて評価する枠組みを構築することに成功した。また岩石変形が水の移動に及ぼす影響に関しても新たな知見を得た。その結果、スラブ内地震発生の仕組みをより定量的に議論することが可能になった。
