 IUGG Abst
The height distributions of the lower two levels of them in the Miura Peninsula indicate more than 1 m of uplift during both the 1703 and 1923 events.
The uplift of the Miura Peninsula (both the 1703 and 1923 events) and the Boso Peninsula (only the 1923 event) can be explained by about 6.7 m slip of the fault A. The fault B is low angle dip thrust located off the southeast of the Boso Peninsula.
The unique 1703 coseismic crustal movement in the Boso Peninsula has been derived from about 12 m slip of the fault B. C ages of the older paleo-shorelines above two recent levels indicate that the characteristic earthquake generated from the fault A has been occurred repeatedly about every 400 years.

We obtained results of inversion tomography and forward modeling in and around the Miura peninsula as follows: Across the Tokyo Bay, near surface is a layer with velocities of 1.6-2.5 km/s.
At the Miura peninsula, higher velocity (3.0-4.0 km/s), in comparison with the Tokyo bay side, patches are located at a depth of approximately 6 km, which we interpreted as Pre-Neogene basement rocks.
Finally, the velocity structure obtained by the forward and inversion analysis are used to improve the processing of the reflection profiling data to clarify the deeper structure in the peninsula, including a good velocity constraint for a pre-stack migration of the reflection profiling data.
