Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recent geodetic observations detect recurrent slow slip events (SSEs), which occurred beneath the Bungo Channel and southwest Shikoku Island, with interval of approximately 6 years. In order to reveal a large-scale three-dimensional resistivity structure around this SSEs region, we carried out wideband magnetotelluric (MT) surveys around the western part of Shikoku Island. Using obtained MT responses, we constructed a three-dimensional resistivity model around the eastern half of SSE region. We inverted the impedance tensor and the vertical magnetic transfer function. The main features of the three-dimensional model are moderate conductive zone in the central part of SSEs with surrounding conductor at the edge of SSEs along the upper boundary of the Philippine Sea slab, and a strong conductor beneath SSEs. We have also established a permanent long-term MT monitoring network that aims to detect temporal changes of resistivity structure during SSE cycle.
