Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to search the spatial change in the reflection efficiency of the S wave reflected at the plate boundary, I firstly examined characteristics of earthquakes on the Kii Peninsula in southwestern Japan. I found that the b-value of the seismic activity both in the slab and overlying plate greatly changed at the line connecting Owase City in Mie Prefecture and Sakai City in Osaka Prefecture. This boundary line across the Kii Peninsula corresponds to the segment boundary of deep low-frequency tremor (short-term slow slip). In addition, the b-value of the intraslab earthquakes changed at the times of the occurrence of short-term slow slip.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の研究成果は,スロースリップの発生様式はスラブ内地震の地震活動の時空間変化と非常に密接に関わることを示唆している.スロースリップをはじめとしたスロー地震現象は,巨大地震発生の準備過程に深く関わることが, 数値シミュレーション研究から予想されている.本研究は,巨大地震の準備過程についてモニタリングする手法として,スラブ内地震の地震活動の時空間変化の把握が使えるかもしれないことを見出したと言える.
