Experts from the BGS marine team are part of a major international marine research collaboration to understand more about earthquakes associated with the Japan Trench.
Expedition 386: Japan Trench Paleoseismology is searching for answers to some of the most important questions about earthquake cycles and their characteristics; work which could help to inform the probability of major events in future.
The expedition forms part of the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP), an international marine research collaboration that explores Earth’s history and dynamics using ocean-going research platforms to recover data recorded in seafloor sediments and rocks and to monitor subseafloor environments.
