Solid Earth Sciences(S) Session Sub Category Seismology(SS) Session ID S-SS31 Title Comprehensive approach to the intraplate earthquakes Short title Intraplate earthquakes Convener Name Norio Shigematsu Affiliation Active Fault and Earthquake Research Center, Geological Survey of Japan, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology Co-convener 1. Name Aitaro Kato Affiliation Earthquake Research Institute, University of Tokyo Co-convener 2. Name Takuya NISHIMURA Affiliation Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Kyoto University International Symposium No request Language Japanese Scope It is necessary to clarify the generating process of large shallow intraplate earthquakes, in order to develop the method that forecasts the occurrence of large intraplate earthquakes based on their physics. In this session, we will investigate the generating process of large intraplate earthquakes by integrating multidiscipline approach of geophysics and geology. In addition, the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake triggered widespread seismicity in NE Japan, due to the large extensional stress perturbations. We welcome papers on researches of the induced seismicity and the crustal response to mega-thrust events. Type of presentation Oral and Poster presentation Invited papers
