Analysis of the mantle wedge and slab interface seismicity in Japan // Analysis of the mantle wedge and slab interface seismicity in Japan

the goal of this project is to better characterize the seismicity of the mantle wedge in subduction zones and how it interacts with the interface. To achieve this, the PhD student will analyze high precision catalogs of micro-seismicity (magnitude < 3 earthquakes) as a tracker for deformation and apply statistical analysis on the catalogs.
