Fluid Distribution Along the Nankai Trough Megathrust Fault Off the Kii Peninsula: Unraveling the Secrets of Subduction Zones

The Nankai Trough, a tectonic boundary where the Philippine Sea Plate subducts beneath the Eurasian Plate, is a region of great seismic activity. Understanding the fluid distribution along this megathrust fault is crucial for assessing earthquake and tsunami hazards. This comprehensive book delves into the latest research on fluid distribution in this critical subduction zone.

State-of-the-Art Research

This groundbreaking work brings together the latest findings from leading geoscientists and seismologists. Through a combination of field observations, laboratory experiments, and numerical modeling, they provide a detailed picture of the fluid distribution along the Nankai Trough megathrust fault.

Key Findings and Implications

• Identification of distinct fluid pathways and their relationship to earthquake triggering mechanisms.
• Insights into the role of fluids in controlling the frictional properties of the fault, influencing earthquake behavior.
• Assessment of the potential for fluid-driven earthquakes and slow slip events along the megathrust fault.

Significance for Hazard Mitigation

The knowledge gained from this research has significant implications for hazard mitigation in the Nankai Trough region and other subduction zones worldwide. By understanding the fluid distribution and its impact on fault behavior, scientists can better forecast earthquake and tsunami risks and develop effective early warning systems.

Target Audience

This book is an invaluable resource for:

• Geoscientists studying subduction zones and earthquake physics
• Seismologists involved in seismic hazard assessment
• Hazard mitigation specialists and policymakers
