Supersite for Sendai-Oki Earthquake

Supersite is an initiative of the geohazard scientific community, providing access to remotely sensed and in situ geophysical data related with highly hazardous sites in our planet Find out more here.

It has already a dedicated website to the 8.9-9.0 Mw Japan earthquake, which is being now called Sendai-Oki earthquake, and the amount of scientific data is truly impressive. From different focal mechanism solutions to motion vector fields as measured with GPS:

I'd like to hightlight the following:

Tsukuba slip model: http://supersites.earthobservations.org/sendai.php#Mon1

Nagoya slip model: http://supersites.earthobservations.org/sendai.php#Sun2

Preliminary GPS displacement data provided by the ARIA team at JPL (vector fields provided as ASCII data): http://supersites.earthobservations.org/sendai.php#Sat5

Horizontal displacement based on estimated poistion of GEONET stations: http://supersites.earthobservations.org/ARIA_japan_co_postseismic.pdf

 

Note that the Supersite is regularly updated, so don't forget to revisit it.
