Outline of Final Research Achievements

The objective of the study is to conduct deformation experiments of lower crust and upper mantle rocks to illuminate their rheological properties predicting the postseismic deformation of the Tohoku-oki earthquake. To this end, we conducted the reinvention of furnaces of a gas confining medium apparatus and improvement of the resolution of stress measurement in a solid confining medium apparatus in Tohoku University. Using those apparatuses, we conducted deformation experiments of various rocks composing of subduction zone mantle wedge and deeper portion of plate boundary, and clarified the properties of viscous flow with the special emphasis on the role of fluid. In addition, we conducted a two - dimensional analysis of the post-seismic deformation using experimentally obtained rheological properties of transient phases and constructed a heterogeneous rheology model including the transient process applicable to the postseismic deformation of the Tohoku earthquake.
