Core-reflected seismic pulse may have nudged Japan after the 2011 megathrust quake

Analysis of Japan’s GNSS data from the 2011 magnitude-9.0 Tōhoku earthquake suggests a seismic wave returning from the core–mantle boundary (ScS) may have triggered a broad, millimeter-to-centimeter fault slip across a large plate boundary, producing tiny but detectable eastward shifts and an energy release comparable to a magnitude 7.5 quake, potentially the first known example of wave-triggered slip from a core-reflected seismic wave; findings published in Science.

GPS Data: A Promising Early Warning System for Earthquakes

A global analysis of GPS time-series data from nearly 100 large earthquakes suggests the existence of a precursory phase of fault slip that occurs approximately two hours before seismic rupture. However, the current monitoring tools lack the necessary coverage and precision to detect or monitor for precursory slip at the scale of individual earthquakes, posing a significant challenge for practical earthquake prediction. If confirmed and reliably measured, this precursory phase could potentially provide a warning for large earthquakes.
