Slab pileup in the mantle transition zone and the 30 May 2015 Chichi‐jima earthquake
Abstract The 30 May 2015 Chichi‐jima M8 earthquake is one of the largest deep focus earthquakes ever recorded and its depth of 682 km puts it near the base of the mantle transition zone. Before source mechanisms and slip models of this earthquake can be reliably assessed, a better understanding of t...
