Distinct rupture processes on a fault where M6-class earthquakes reoccurred in a short period: analysis of the 2011 and 2016 Northern Ibaraki, Japan, earthquakes using near-field waveforms

Abstract Crustal earthquakes are generally recognized as having recurrence periods of more than 1000 years. However, in northern Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, two moderate-sized earthquakes occurred on almost the same fault plane in 2011 and 2016. Moreover, it has been reported that the slip distributi...
