  • Fluid Distribution Along the Nankai-Trough Megathrust Fault off the Kii Peninsula
    Takeshi Akuhara
    This thesis explores fluid distribution along the Nankai-Trough megathrust fault around the Kii Peninsula of Japan, where devastating earthquakes are expected to occur in the near future. Exploring fluid distribution along subduction zones is an important issue because the fluid is considered to control the occurrence of earthquakes. One of the effective strategies to estimate ...
