Half-graben inversion tectonics revealed by gravity modeling in the Mikawa Bay Region, Central Japan
The Mikawa Bay Region, central Japan, is characterized by many active faults recording Quaternary activities. It is, however, difficult to understand...

Continuous Observations of Aerosol-Weather Relationship from a Horizontal Lidar to Simulate Monitoring of Radioactive Dust in Fukushima, Japan
Local transport of radioactive dust can put the environment and nearby people at risk. A plan to continuously monitor radioactive dust using...

Regional probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment associated with active faults along the eastern margin of the Sea of Japan
We analyze the regional tsunami hazard along the Sea of Japan coast associated with 60 active faults beneath the eastern margin of the Sea of Japan....

Permian and Triassic Microfossils from Chert Pebbles Within the Lower Cretaceous Choshi Group in the Choshi Geopark, Central Japan: Extending the Age Range of Fossil in Geoparks
The Lower Cretaceous Choshi Group in the Choshi Geopark, a member of the Japanese Geoparks Network, includes conglomerate layers with chert gravels....

Superposition of coastal-trapped waves and Kuroshio warm water intrusions caused unusually high sea levels around the southern coasts of Japan in early September 1971
Unusually high sea level (UHSL) in early September 1971, which caused coastal flooding around the southern coasts of Japan despite no severe weather...

A simulation-based nonlinear site amplification model for ground-motion prediction equations in Japan
In this manuscript we present a nonlinear site amplification model for ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) in Japan, using a site period-based...

Surface heat flow measurements in the eastern margin of the Japan Sea using a 15 m long geothermal probe to overcome large bottom-water temperature fluctuations
Accurate surface heat flow data are required for a wide range of geological and geophysical applications. However, sediment temperature measurements...

Multi-model ensemble of frost risks across East Asia (1850–2100)
Frost events can cause the deterioration of a wide range of heritage materials, including stone, brick and earth. In a warming world, the frequency...

Data mining method in seismology by applying cellular automaton equivalence of ground vibration fluctuations recorded near the epicenter of the 2011 Mw 9 East Japan earthquake
We propose a data mining method to extract physical phenomena from the ground vibration velocity fluctuation (GVF) which is a daily observed weak...

Synoptic meteorological conditions of gamma-ray glows in winter thunderstorms
The Gamma-ray Observation of Winter Thunderclouds collaboration has detected 70 gamma-ray glows, a high-energy phenomenon associated with...

Dams and water use in arid zones: drought, balance sheet, siltation, and outlook case of the Djorf Torba dam (southwest, Bechar, Algeria)
The Djorf Torba dam belongs to the arid zones and is losing its performance due to a combination of natural and anthropogenic constraints. Indeed,...

Characteristics of rare earth elements in the surface sediments of Southwest Indian Ridge: implication of grain size for the identification of hydrothermal activity
The characteristics of rare earth elements (REEs) in mid-ocean ridge (MOR) sediments are important indicators of hydrothermal activity. However,...

Mechanism of Rupture Formation of the Hanshin–Awaji Earthquake (Kobe, Japan) January 17, 1995, M 6.9
AbstractThe paper presents the results of modeling the stress–strain state of the epicentral zone of the strong crustal Hanshin–Awaji earthquake,...

Detection of small crustal deformation caused by slow slip events in southwest Japan using GNSS and tremor data
We stacked daily Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) displacement increments in southwest Japan to detect the cumulative crustal deformation...

Long-term variability in larval recruitment rates of a callianassid shrimp population on an intertidal sandflat in an estuary-to-coastal ocean interface area in relation to river discharge and shelf water movement, western Kyushu, Japan
Food availability is believed to affect macro-invertebrate larval survival at sea, which was poorly demonstrated. On the coast immediately outside an...

Modelling and mitigation of real-time sea level measurement over the coastal area of Japan
This study investigates the real-time sea-level measurement from six tide gauge stations in the coastal area of Japan. Initially, the six co-located...

The activity, segmentation, and evolution characteristics of large-scale landslides along the Anninghe active fault zone, Southwest China
The Anninghe fault zone located at the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau plays a significant role in affecting the evolution and distribution...

Identification of a nascent tectonic boundary in the San-in area, southwest Japan, using a 3D S-wave velocity structure obtained by ambient noise surface wave tomography
We derived a three-dimensional S-wave velocity model for the San-in area of southwest Japan to examine heterogeneous structures such as tectonic...
