| Abstract: | The 2016 Kumamoto earthquake involved a series of events culminating in an Mw 7.0 main shock on 2016 April 16; the main-shock fault terminated in the caldera of Aso volcano. In this study, we estimated surface displacements after the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake using synthetic aperture radar interferometry analysis of 16 Phased Array Type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar-2 images acquired from 2016 April 18 to 2017 June 12 and compared them with four images acquired before the earthquake. Ground subsidence of about 8 cm was observed within about a 3 km radius in the northwestern part of Aso caldera. Because this displacementwas not seen in data acquired before the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, we attribute this displacement to the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake. Furthermore, to estimate the source depth of the surface displacement, we applied the Markov chain Monte Carlo method to a spherical source model and obtained a source depth of about 4.8 km. This depth and position are nearly in agreement with the top of a low-resistivity area previously inferred from magnetotelluric data; this area is thought to represent a deep hydrothermal reservoir. We concluded that this displacement is due to the migration of magma or aqueous fluids. |
