Seismogenic depth of the crust beneath the Japanese Island using Japan Unified hIgh-resolu:on relocated Catalog for Earthquakes (JUICE) Tomoko E. Yano †1 [email protected] and Makoto Matsubara †1 [email protected] †1:Na=onal Research Ins=tute for Earth Science and Disaster Resillience (NIED), Tsukuba, Japan Ø ABSTRACT Ø REFERENCES Ø CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Ø Japan Unified hIgh-resolu=on relocated Catalog for E arthquakes” ( JUICE ) contains hypocenters which relocated >1.1 million events by double-difference reloca=on method from the NIED Hi-net catalog for events which occurred from January 2001 to December 2012, to a depth of 40 km within 1257 grid squares in Japan. Ø The regional seismogenic depths are es=mated based on D95 index derived from the JUICE catalog. And it gives reasonable values. Ø Deep adershocks of the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake occurred possibly in the briAle-duc:le transi:on zone, according to our results combined with heat flow data Ø Future work: Iden=fying the width of ac=ve faults to model the Japanese 3D community fault model. Contribu=ng to hazard assessment and risk management for inland earthquakes possibly occur at directly beneath our ci=es and populated areas. JUICE : Inspired by the SCEC CME project, we have generated a high-resolu=on catalog called the “Japan Unified hIgh-resolu=on relocated Catalog for Earthquakes” (JUICE, Yano et al., 2017), which can be used to evaluate the geometry and seismogenic depth of ac=ve faults in Japan. We relocated > 1.1 million hypocenters from the Na=onal Research Ins=tute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED) Hi-net catalog for events which occurred from January 2001 to December 2012, to a depth of 40 km. We applied a rela=ve hypocenter determina=on method to the data in each grid square. En=re Japan is divided into 1257 grid squares to parallelize the reloca=on procedure. We used a double-difference method, incorpora=ng cross-correla=ng differen=al =mes with waveform data as well as catalog differen=al picking =mes. This JUICE catalog enables us to resolve, in detail, a local seismicity distribu=on for the en=re Japanese Islands. We es=mated loca=on uncertainty by a sta=s=cal resampling method, using Jackknife samples, and show that the rela=ve loca=on uncertainty can be within 0.37 km in the horizontal and 0.85 km in the ver=cal direc=on with a 90 % confidence interval for areas with good sta=on coverage. Seismogenic depths (applica:on of JUICE ): Our es=mated seismogenic depth based on D95 index, the cutoff depth where total of 95 % of events occurred derived from the JUICE catalog, agree with the lower limit of the hypocenter distribu=on for recent earthquakes, such as the Chuetsu (2004, Mj 6.8), Central Tomori (2016, Mj 6.6), and Kumamoto earthquakes (2016, Mj 7.3). These agreements suggest that the new JIUCE catalog is useful for local studies and es=ma=ng the size of future earthquakes for the inland ac=ve faults.
