From: Rapid mantle flow with power-law creep explains deformation after the 2011 Tohoku mega-quake
Post-earthquake deformation of the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake. a The horizontal component of 2.8-year post-earthquake displacements. In the station G01, the contribution from the plate convergence rate (shown in Fig. 1a), which is not included in our simulation scheme, is added to the simulation result (see Methods). In addition, displacement in the period 1.5 years and 2.8 years after the earthquake is plotted in this station because of the limitation of data availability. Displacement time series in the stations marked by orange circles are shown in Fig. 6. b The horizontal components of 2.8-year post-earthquake displacements in the simulation broken down into the contribution from elastic deformation due to afterslip and viscoelastic flow. The viscoelastic component includes the contribution from both coseismic slip and afterslip. The contour lines indicate accumulated afterslip for 2.8 years. The fit to the horizontal displacements in the station FUKU would be better if large afterslip in the dashed rectangle were slightly closer to FUKU
