| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Cascadia margin is a seismogenic subduction zone with a history of the repeated occurrence of megathrust earthquakes. The Cascadia subduction zone has many similarities with the Nankai subduction zone. We conducted earthquake observation using ocean bottom seismographs as a comparable study between Cascadia and Nankai subduction seismogenic zones. Our results show that during the observation period most of the offshore seismicity occurred in the subducting plate along the Nootka fault zone. Otherwise seismicity was extremely low, with no earthquakes located along the shallow, seismogenic part of the Cascadia megathrust. The lack of interplate seismicity may indicate complete healing and locking of the megathrust over three centuries after the great earthquake of 1700 and a somewhat lower degree of structure heterogeneity.
