Résumé | (disponible en anglais seulement) New pressure data from a pair of Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) hydrologic borehole observatories at ODP Sites 1173 and 808, located off Japan in the subducting
Philippine Sea plate and in the nearby Nankai accretionary prism, respectively, show clear signals associated with an earthquake swarm off the Kii Peninsula that began on September 5, 2004, roughly 220 km away from the observatory sites. At Site
1173, formation pressures rose by 1.0 - 1.5 kPa at the time of the largest earthquake (Mw = 7.5), then continued to rise to a total anomaly of 4 kPa during the following 200 - 300 days. These transients are inferred to reflect co-seismic and slow
continuing volumetric contraction of the plate by amounts of roughly 0.2 × 10-6 and 0.5 × 10-6, respectively. The sign of the estimated strain is consistent with that predicted with a seismic-moment-constrained elastic half-space dislocation model,
but the amplitude is much larger, by roughly a factor of 6 at the time of the main earthquake, and by nearly a factor of 20 when the total pressure-estimated strain at the end of the post-seismic period is compared to that estimated from the total
cumulative seismic moment including aftershocks. The simplest inference that can be drawn is that a large component of aseismic slip occurred in the epicentral area. At Site 808, pressure at the deepest monitoring zone just above the subduction
decollement fell at the time of the largest earthquakes. This may reflect shear-induced dilatation which would be consistent with strain- or velocityhardening behaviour along this seaward-most part of the subduction thrust interface. |
