| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
During this project、 I elucidated some aspects of the mechanics of accretionary prisms and the formation of plate boundary fault. In Furuichi et al. (2018), we reavealed that stress patterns in granular media affect the dynamics of thrusting. In Bauville et al. (2020), we presented analytical solutions and numerical simulations that shed light on the formation of decollement faults.
The second part of the project, which treats of the dynamics of convergent tectonic zone was initially planned as a modeling study. However, I deviated from this initial goal as new interesting data became available. Thus, in Bauville and Yamato (2020), we proposed a new method of pressure-to-depth conversion for metamorphic rocks.
I published two articles as a first-author and three articles as a collaborator. I also presented the results in national and international conferences (JpGU and EGU general meeting). Thank to the Kakenhi budget I also visited my colleagues at the University of Rennes (France).

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
In this project, we investigated how the faults, on which earthquakes and tsunami happen, are created and how that affects the growing land. We also proposed a new method that contributes to a hot debate in Earth Sciences over the interpretation of the rock pressure record.
