2 Outline ・ Present status of developing GeoFEM earthquake cycle simulation module in a local model ( as Drs. Okuda, Nakajima, Kato and Furumura presented in this meeting) ・ Simulation of crustal deformation using kinematic earthquake cycle based on dislocation model ・ Northeast Japan model: 100 years Compare present GPS and 100-year conventional geodetic observations with computed ones Possible slow slip event in early 1900’s ? ・ Southwest Japan model: 300 years GPS observed concentrated deformed zone (NKTZ)
