Outline of Final Research Achievements

For the study of hydrological effects on gravity around the VERA Ishigakijima station located in the slow slip event region near the Ryukyu trench, Okinawa, Japan, we carried out continuous observation using various sensors; gravimeters, seismometers, rain gauges, soil moisture meters, water pressure gauges, and so on. We also conducted seismic survey in order to reveal the subsurface structure beneath the VERA station. As a result, we detected signals in the data from gravimeters and seismometers that are associated with groundwater level, water level of dam reservoir, and soil moisture changes. Furthermore, the seismic reflection survey revealed detailed structure of the sedimentary layer under the VERA station where water content indicates large temporal changes.
