Transient stripping of subducting slabs controls periodic forearc uplift
Nature Communications, 2020 Topography at active forearc margins is controlled by numerous competing tectonic and erosional processes acting at different timescales, yet separating their respective contribution remains a challenge.

Earth, Planets and Space, 2023 During the middle Miocene, forearc alkaline magmatism occurred in the Outer Zone of Southwest Japan and the northern Ryukyu Arc, resulting in the formation of forearc alkaline basaltic rocks with ocean island basalt (OIB)-like chemical signatures.

Rolling open Earth’s deepest forearc basin [PDF]
Geology, 2016 Abstract The Weber Deep—a 7.2-km-deep forearc basin within the tightly curved Banda arc of eastern Indonesia—is the deepest point of the Earth’s oceans not within a trench. Several models have been proposed to explain the tectonic evolution of the Banda arc in the context of the ongoing (ca.

Fluid‐Mantle Interaction Along the Mariana Convergent Margin
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 Active serpentinite mud volcanoes in the forearc region of the Izu‐Bonin‐Mariana system represent an excellent natural laboratory for studying the geochemical processes along convergent plate margins and the associated forearc. During IODP Expedition 366,

Earth, Planets and Space, 2021 Distinct later phases of waves with rich high-frequency (> 8 Hz) components were observed for intraslab earthquakes that occurred at intermediate depths, particularly at depths exceeding 100 km, in the northeastern (NE) Japan subduction zone.

First insights into oceanic manta ray movements in Japan using satellite telemetry
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Japanese waters represent the northern distributional limit of the western Pacific distribution of the oceanic manta ray (Mobula birostris), yet movement ecology in this region remains poorly understood. We report movements of the first satellite‐tagged individual in Japan.

Geological structure of the forearc basin in central Hawke’s Bay, eastern North Island [PDF]
, 2006 Central Hawke’s Bay lies within an extensive forearc basin in eastern North Island that developed during the Late Miocene to Pleistocene. The onshore structural elements of Hawke’s Bay can be classified into four structural domains, each reflecting ...

Late Miocene – Early Pleistocene paleogeography of the onshore central Hawke’s Bay sector of the forearc basin, eastern North Island, New Zealand, and some implications for hydrocarbon prospectivity [PDF]
, 2008 The timing of trap formation in relation to the timing of source rock burial and maturation are important considerations in evaluating the hydrocarbon prospectivity of onshore parts of the forearc basin in central Hawke’s Bay.

Seismic imaging of forearc backthrusts at northern Sumatra subduction zone
, 2009 Forearc tectonics at accretionary convergent margins has variously been studied using analogue and numerical modelling techniques. Numerous geophysical investigations have targeted the subsurface structure of active forearc settings at convergent margins.
