| Research Abstract |
A large earthquake in a plate subduction zone causes long-term crustal deformation continuing over decades with a spatial scale exceeding 100km. Observed crustal deformation includes the deformation due to past large events. The latter becomes noises when calculating the present stress accumulation on a plate boundary needed for the occurrence of a next event. To decrease those noises, this study has developed a new method to accurately estimate the deformation due to a large event, using satellite gravity data.
