Heterogeneous rheology controlled postseismic deformation of the 2011 Tohoku‐Oki earthquake

Abstract Using two‐dimensional finite element modeling, we reproduced the observed postseismic deformation of the 2011 Tohoku‐Oki earthquake. Our model, which accounts for the lithosphere‐asthenosphere boundary and weak zones beneath volcanoes, was able to reproduce small‐scale (<20 km) perturbat...
