- Abstract:
- This proposal is to map the elastic properties and pore alignment within the sediments in and beneath the Nankai accretionary complex, and the underlying igneous basement of the subducting plate, using S-wave velocities determined from ocean bottom seismometer records to complement existing P-wave velocity and borehole data. The aims are to infer the effect of the active tectonics on pore alignment and stress field, to assess the potential for seismic monitoring of temporal change of strain preceding a megathrust earthquake, and to inform planning of drilling and downhole seismic experiments for the SEIZE (Seismogenic Zone Experiment) programme.
