Outline of Final Research Achievements

We analyzed "seismic" rupture process of the March 11, 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake (GCMT Mw9.1) by using a non-linear multi-time-window waveform inversion analysis. We used Green's tensor waveforms computed for laterally heterogeneous structure models: full 3D model was used for strong-motion Green's tensor waveforms, and 2.5D structure models were used for teleseismic P-wave Green's functions. The inferred slip distribution was characterized by large slips near the hypocenter with maximum slip of about 37 m. The near-trench slips were inferred to be relatively small. An isolated slip region was also identified at deep beneath the coast of Fukushima prefecture. On the other hand, large amount of "artificial" slips were inferred close to the trench when we apply 1D Green's functions that did not incorporate the effect of realistic lateral heterogeneity. Our result suggests the trench-ward large deformation that caused large tsunamis did not radiated strong seismic waves.
