284개의 IGS GPS 관측소와 한반도 및 인근 섬들에 위치한 22개 GPS 관측소의 관측 데이터를 이용하여 2011년 3월 11일에 발생한 진도 9.0Mw의 Tohoku-Oki 지진이 아시아 및 한국의 GPS 상시관측소에 미친 위치변동량을 분석하였다. GPS 관측데이터는 지진발생일을 기준으로 전후 7일씩 총 15일간 수신자료를 이용하였으며, GAMIT/GLOBK 소프트웨어를 이용하여 등진역 변위와 지진 후 변위를 해석하였다. 연구 결과, Tohoku-Oki 지진의 영향이 광범위 하여 진앙 중심으로부터 2,702km 떨어진 GPS 상시관측소에서도 등진역 변위가 발생한 것으로 나타났으며, 일본과 가까운 한국, 중국, 대만, 러시아 등 여러 국가에서도 지진의 영향이 확인되었다. 또한, Tohoku-Oki 지진은 한국의 GPS 상시관측소에 최소 14.9mm에서 최대 58.3mm에 이르는 위치변동량을 발생시켜 측지기준망의 성과를 새롭게 정비하지 않고 GPS 측량을 수행하는 경우 최대 20mm에 이르는 위치오차가 발생할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

The Tohoku Earthquake, which hit Japan on March 11, 2011, was a massive magnitude 9.0 earthquake, with the earthquake itself causing damage and the resulting tsunami additionally causing enormous material and human damage. The crustal deformation at that time reached a maximum of 5.24 m in Japan, Neighboring countries South Korea and China as well as the Southeast Asian region also witnessed crustal deformation ranging from a few centimeters to a few meters. The detailed analysis in this study based on data from 72 of the sites in South Korea where GNSS CORS was installed showed that South Korea underwent heterogeneous crustal deformation from the Tohoku earthquake, with a maximum of 55.5 mm, a minimum of 9.2 mm, and an average of 22.42 mm. A crustal deformation model was developed, applied, and evaluated for accuracy in this study for a prompt revision of the survey results of the control points that were changed by the crustal deformation. The survey results were revised by applying a crustal deformation model to the 1,195 unified control points installed in South Korea prior to the Tohoku earthquake. The comparison of these 1,195 points with their new survey results showed that the RMSE decreased from 14.1 to 3.4 mm and that the maximum result difference declined from 39 to 10 mm. Revision of the survey results of the control points using the crustal deformation model is deemed very useful considering that the accuracy of the survey results of the unified control points in South Korea is 3 cm.

Bathymetry change due to the 2011 Tohoku (M9.0) earthquake was investigated through satellite altimetry-derived free-air gravity anomalies (SAFAGA) and shipborne measurements. The earthquake occurred at the plate boundaries near the northeastern coast of Japan, where the oceanic plate subducts beneath the continental plate along deep-sea trench. Data analyzed in this study include SAFAGA from Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), shipborne bathymetry (SB) from the U.S. National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) and the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth-Science And Technology (JAMSTEC). To estimate the bathymetry change, a reference bathymetry before the earthquake was predicted by gravity-geologic method (GGM) and Smith & Sandwell’s (SAS) method. In comparison with the bathymetry models before the earthquake, GGM bathymetry model generated by a tuning density contrast of 17.04 g/cm³ by downward continuation method was selected because it shows better bathymetry in the short wavelength below about 6 km. From the results, remarkable bathymetry change of about ±50 m was found on the west side of the Japan Trench caused by the earthquake.

The Tohoku earthquake (Mw9.0) occurred on March 11, 2011 and caused a large tsunami. The Fukushima Dai-ichi NPP (F1-NPP) were overwhelmed by the tsunami and core damage occurred. This paper describes the overview of F1-NPP accident and the usability of tsunami PRA at Tohoku earthquake. The paper makes reference to the following current issues: influence on seismic hazard of gigantic aftershocks and triggered earthquakes, concepts for evaluating core damage frequency considering common cause failure with correlation coefficient against seismic event at multi units and sites, and concepts of "seismic-tsunami PSA" considering a combination of seismic motion and tsunami effects.

Gravity variations due to the 2011 Tohoku (M9.0) earthquake, which occurred at the plate boundaries near the northeastern coast of Japan, were estimated through the GRACE spherical harmonic (Stokes) coefficients derived from the CSR. About -5 μGal gravity variation by the GRACE data was found in the back-arc basin area with respect to a reference gravity model. The mean gravity variations in the back-arc basin area and the Japan Trench area were -4.4 and -3.2 μGal in order. The small negative gravity variations around the Japan Trench area can be interpreted by both crustal dilatation and the seafloor topography change in comparison with the large negative gravity variations in the back-arc basin area by co-seismic crustal dilatation of the landward plate. From the results of the gravity variations, vertical displacements generated from relatively short wavelength caused by the earthquake were estimated by use of multi-beam bathymetric measurements obtained from JAMSTEC. The maximum seafloor topography changes of about ±50 m were found at west side of the Japan Trench axis by the earthquake. The seafloor topography change by the megathrust earthquake can be considered as the results of the landslide of the seafloor throughout the landward side.

GPS and strong-motion sensors are broadly used for the monitoring of structural health and Earth surface motions, focusing on response of structures, earthquake characterization and rupture modeling. Several studies have shown the consistency of the two data sets within at certain frequency (e.g., 0.03

The 2011 Tohoku earthquake triggered extremely destructive tsunami waves which propagated over the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean through Drake Passage and Indian Ocean respectively. A total of 10 tide-gauge records collected from the UNESCO/IOC site were analyzed through a band-pass digital filtering device to examine the observed tsunami characteristics. The ray tracing method and finite-difference model with GEBCO 30 arc second bathymetry were also applied to compare the travel times of the Tohoku-originated tsunami, particularly at Rodrigues in the Indian Ocean and King Edward Point in the Atlantic Ocean with observation-based estimates. At both locations the finite-difference model produced the shortest arrival times, while the ray method produced the longest arrival times. Values of the travel time difference however appear to be within tolerable ranges, considering the propagation distance of the tsunami waves. The observed tsunami at Rodrigues, Mauritius in the west of the Madagascar was found to take a clockwise travel path around Australia and New Zealand, while the observed tsunami at King Edward Point in the southern Atlantic Ocean was found to traverse the Pacific Ocean and then passed into the Atlantic Ocean through the Drake Strait. The formation of icebergs captured by satellite images in Sulzberger in the Antarctica also supports the long-range propagation of the Tohoku-originated tsunami.

삼각망에서 얻은 2차원 변위자료로부터 주축변형, 회전, 팽창등을 산출하는 안정된 계산순서를 제시하였으며, 이들 추산치의 오차가 삼각망의 면적간에 반비례하므로 자료망의 크기를 택함에 유의하여야함을 지적하였다. 이 순서를, 2011년 토호쿠지진에 의해 발생한 한반도지역의 변위의 GPS관측자료에 적용하여 안정된 추산치들을 얻었다.

2011년 3월 11일에 일본 토호쿠 지역에서는 Mw 9 규모의 대지진이 발생하였다. 이 지진으로 인하여 일본지각은 최대 5m 이상의 지각변동이 관측되었으며, 한반도 역시 년간 지각변동량이 순간적으로 이동하는 등 지진의 영향권에 있었다. 이 논문에서는 토호쿠 지진이 발생한지 2.5년 가량 지난 현재의 시점에서 지진 이후의 한반도 지각변동 속도를 분석하고 과거의 한반도 지각변동 속도와 비교함으로써 변화된 지각변동 경향을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 국토지리정보원의 GPS 관측데이터를 이용하여 2003년부터 2008년까지 6년간의 관측데이터와 지진 이후 6개월 후부터 2013년 6월 말일까지 관측데이터를 이용하여 정밀 좌표를 결정하고 시계열 분석을 통해 남북, 동서, 수직 방향의 절대 속도를 산출하였다. 그 결과 한반도의 지각변동 속도는 토호쿠 지진 발생 이전에 비해 남북 방향으로 평균 3.9mm/yr, 동서 방향으로 평균 7.5mm/yr의 속도 증가가 발생한 것을 알 수 있었다.

On March 11 in 2011, off the Pacific coast of Tohokua huge earthquake of Magnitude 9.0 occurred. This presentation reports the earthquake, the ensuing tsunami and the devastating damages caused by them. The epicenter was approximately 72 km east of the Oshika Peninsula of Tohoku, with the hypo-center at an underwater depth of approximately 32 km. Owing to this earthquake, strong quakes were observed in eastern Japan with the levels 6 and 7 on the Japanese scale. The earthquake triggered extremely destructive tsunami wave, which attacked the very wide range of eastern Japan coast. The earthquake and ensuing tsunami caused severe damage to levees and embankment along the coasts and rivers. Those water-related damages are reported in this presentation. The Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant was also damaged by the earthquake and ensuing tsunami. From the crippled nuclear power plant, appreciable quantities of radioactive material were emitted to the surrounding environment. Those substances which emitted to air may fall on the ground together with raindrops and runoff to rivers. Elucidation of those processes is the task which our hydrological society should undertake.
