The 2016 Kumamoto earthquake sequence occurred on the Futagawa-Hinagu fault zonenear the Aso volcano on Kyushu island.The sequence was initiated with two major(Mw 6.0)foreshocks and the mainshock(Mw) occurred 25 hours after the second major foreshock.Wecombine GPS,strong motion,Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) images and surface offset datain a joint inversion to resolve the kinematic rupture process of the mainshock and coseismicdisplacement of the foreshocks.
