Surface ruptures appear over a wide area in addition to the primary fault during a Large earthquake like the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake. Although the displacement of such distributed surface ruptures is...

Tsunami deposits serve as geological records of past events and are essential for understanding the occurrence and dynamics of tsunamis. However, conventional research has largely focused on sandy an...

ABSTRACT. The Kumamoto earthquake (MJMA 6.5 and 7.3) occurred on 14 and 16 April 2016, with the epicenter on the Futagawa and Hinagu faults, central

Hadal trenches preserve exceptional sedimentary archives of past geological events, yet their depositional processes remain poorly constrained. The Japan Trench captures complex earthquake-triggered ...
