AbstractLong-term slow slip events (L-SSEs) have repeatedly occurred beneath the Bungo Channel in southwestern Japan with durations of several months to a couple of years, with a recurrence interval of approximately 6 years. We estimated the spatiotemporal slip distributions of the 2018–2019 Bungo Channel L-SSE by inverting processed GNSS time series data. This event was divided into two subevents, with the first on the southwest side of the Bungo Channel from 2018.3 to 2018.7 and the second beneath the Bungo Channel from 2018.8 to 2019.4. Tectonic tremors became active on the downdip side of the L-SSE occurrence region when large slow slips took place beneath the Bungo Channel. Compared with the previous Bungo Channel L-SSEs, this spatiotemporal slip pattern and amount were similar to those of the 2002–2004 L-SSE. However, the slip expanded in the northeast and southwest directions in the latter half of the second subevent. The maximum amount of slip, the maximum slip velocity, the total released seismic moment, and the moment magnitude of the 2018–2019 L-SSE were estimated to be 28 cm, 54 cm/year, $$4.4 \times 10^{19}$$ 4.4 × 10 19 Nm, and 7.0, respectively, all of which were the largest among the 1996–1998, 2002–2004, 2009–2011, and 2018–2019 L-SSEs.

Tectonic tremors became active on the downdip side of the L-SSE occurrence region when large slow slips took place beneath the Bungo Channel. Compared with the previous Bungo Channel L-SSEs, this spatiotemporal slip pattern and amount were similar to those of the 2003 L-SSE. However, the slip expanded in the northeast-southwest direction in the latter half of the second subevent. We also found that the total duration of the two subevents was 1.0 year, which was the shortest among the four recent L-SSEs beneath the Bungo Channel identified using GNSS time series data. The maximum amount of slip, the maximum slip velocity, the total released seismic moment, and the moment magnitude of the 2018–2019 L-SSE were estimated to be 27 cm, 53 cm/year, 4.1×1019 Nm, and 7.0, respectively, all of which were the largest among the four L-SSEs.

Summary A variety of slow slip events at subduction zones have been observed. They can be stress meters for monitoring the stress state of megathrust faults during their earthquake cycles. In this study, we focus on long-term slow slip events (LSSEs) recurring at downdip portions of megathrust faults among such slow earthquakes. Data analyses and simulation studies of LSSEs have so far been executed independently. In atmosphere and ocean sciences, data assimilations that optimally combine data analyses and simulation studies have been developed. We develop a method for estimating frictional properties and monitoring slip evolution on an LSSE fault, with a sequential data assimilation method, the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF). We executed numerical twin experiments for the Bungo Channel LSSE fault in southwest Japan to validate the method. First, based on a rate- and state-dependent friction law, we set a rate-weakening circular LSSE patch on the rate-strengthening flat plate interface, whose critical nucleation size is larger than that of the patch, and reproduced the observed Bungo Channel LSSEs with recurrence times of approximately 7 yr and slip durations of 1 yr. Then, we synthesized the observed data of surface displacement rates at uniformly distributed stations with noises from the simulated slip model. Using our EnKF method, we successfully estimated the frictional parameters and the slip rate evolution after a few cycles. Secondly, we considered the effect of the megathrust fault existing in the updip portion of the LSSE fault, as revealed by kinematic inversion studies of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data and added this locked region with a slip deficit rate in the model. We estimated the slip rate on the locked region only kinematically, but the quasi-dynamic equation of motion in each LSSE fault cell includes the stress term arising from the locked region. Based on this model, we synthesized the observed surface displacement rate data for the actual distribution of GNSS stations and executed EnKF estimations including the slip rate on the locked region. The slip rate on the locked region could be quickly retrieved. Even for the actual distribution of GNSS stations, we could successfully estimate frictional parameters and slip evolution on the LSSE fault. Thus, our twin numerical experiments showed the validity of our EnKF method, although we need further studies for actual GNSS data analyses.

Investment financing is one of the operational activities of Islamic banking to encourage the real sector. This study aims to analyze the effect of economic turmoil on investment financing, analyze the response to investment financing, and analyze each variable's contribution in explaining the diversity of investment financing. This study uses monthly time series data from 2009 to 2020 using the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) analysis. The results show that the exchange rate, inflation, and interest rates significantly affect Islamic banking investment financing in the long term. The response to investment financing is the fastest to achieve stability when it responds to shocks to the composite stock price index. Inflation is the most significant contribution in explaining diversity in investment financing. Islamic banking should increase the proportion of funding for investment. Customers can have a larger business scale to encourage economic growth, with investment financing increasing.JEL Classification: E22, G11, G24How to Cite:Budiandru., & Yuniarti, S. (2020).
