Abstract

Natural Hazards Ten years ago, the magnitude 9 Tohoku-oki earthquake rocked Japan and caused massive damage. The earthquake also generated a destructive tsunami, the impacts of which are still being managed today. Kodaira et al. review what was learned from the tremendous number of observations from the great earthquake that unexpectedly ruptured into a shallow part of the megathrust fault. Postseismic deformation is ongoing, as is the risk of another very large normal fault earthquake seaward of the Japan Trench. Science , this issue p.
