Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we studied a high-frequency later phase (HFLP) for intra-slab earthquakes in NE Japan. By investigations of propagation processes of the HFLP, we revealed that the HFLP related to scattering structure in the forearc region of this subduction zone. Additionally, it was sensitive to attenuation structure. The observations of the HFLP suggested the strong attenuation contrast in the mantle wedge beneath the forearc and backarc regions of NE Japan subduction zone.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
沈み込み帯における地震活動やマグマ活動を理解する上で,スラブの沈み込みに伴い運び込まれる流体の分布や形態,移動経路を明らかにすることは非常に重要である.本研究で得られた高周波後続波と不均質構造の関係に関する知見は,今後この後続波の詳しい解析が,今後沈み込み帯の微細構造の解明や地震の発生メカニズムやマグマダイナミクスを解明の進展に対して重要な情報源となり得ることを示す.
