- may indicate a need to revise the widely accepted conceptual model of a seismogenic subduction zone
- however, these observations alone could not identify an exact up-dip limit of the coseismic displacement
Benchmark displacement obtained by acoustic ranging ItoIto et et al., al. 20112011
We still did not know the up-dip end of the slip
