| Research Abstract |
Spatial and temporal variations in slip on plate boundary faults is primarily governed by frictional properties on faults. To estimate frictional properties on faults, we develop data assimilation methods to estimate parameters in fault friction laws (friction parameters) using GPS data. We apply this method to afterslip following the 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku-oki earthquake to estimate frictional properties in the afterslip area. The results show that the friction parameter, which has been estimated to be constant in previous studies, is dependent on slip rate and higher slip rates result in less stable frictional properties.
