Corrections to the coseismic deformation pattern revealed by GPS data
In "GPS data support
the inelastic deformation", I stated that only the NW
corner is anomalous. This was wrong, when I looked closely the
results by S.-B. Yu who visited ERI on Oct. 22 after the Tsukuba
symposium. The direction and the amount of the horizontal vectors
change gradually from the south to the north, i. e., from 3 m
to 7 m in amount, and from WNW to NNW in direction. This cleary
indicates that some inelastic deformation
occurred within the accretionary prism itself, though I have not
found any explanation yet
