This region including the southern islands of Japan, the Japan trench and the Nankai trough has been selected by MARGINS for focused study. Most of the world's great earthquakes and tsunamis initiate in the zone of underthrusting or seismogenic zone of subduction zones. The Seismogenic Zone Experiment (SEIZE) hopes to understand the relationship among earthquakes, deformation, and fluid flow in this environment.
