Diatoms in Kamchatka’s Hot Spring Soils

open access: yesDiversity, 2020
Diatoms inhabiting terrestrial habitats that are affected by thermal activity remain poorly studied, despite significant interest in the biodiversity of hot springs.

Modeling of residual spheres for subduction zone earthquakes: 1. Apparent slab penetration signatures in the NW Pacific caused by deep diffuse mantle anomalies [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
We have computed focal residual spheres for 145 subduction zone earthquakes along the northwest edge of the Pacific using regional and global mantle velocity models from tomographic inversions.

KALMAR - „Kurile-Kamchatka and Aleutean Marginal Sea-Island Arc Systems: Geodynamic and Climate Interaction in Space and Time” – an integrated science approach between Russia and Germany [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
EGU2010-2934 The exploration of the arctic seas require an integrated approach applying different infrastructures. In Fall 2009 German and Russian scientists performed a geo marine cruise off Kamchatka and in the western Bering Sea within the frame of ...

Historical seismograms for unravelling a mysterious earthquake: The 1907 Sumatra Earthquake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
History of instrumental seismology is short. Seismograms are available only for a little more than 100 years; high-quality seismograms are available only for the last 50 years and the seismological database is very limited in time. To extend the database,

Cold Seep Communities in the Sea of Japan Are Species‐Poor and Dominated by a New Species of Provannid Snail

open access: yesJournal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The Sea of Japan is a semi‐enclosed marginal sea in the northwestern Pacific whose bathyal communities exhibit a depauperate species diversity due to anoxic events during the last glacial maximum. Cold seeps associated with chemosynthetic ecosystems were discovered in this region over three decades ago, yet their fauna have not been characterised. Here,

Melt Architecture Under East Asian Volcanoes Revealed by Anisotropic Tomography

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Cenozoic volcanic rocks in East Asia are widespread across subduction zones, oceanic plates, and continental interiors. The generation of these volcanic materials is closely associated with partial melting of the upper mantle and the stagnation of the Pacific slab in the mantle transition zone.

Biological surveys reveal unexpectedly high faunal diversity at Nankai Trough methane seeps

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Cold seeps are chemosynthesis‐based ecosystems powered by microbial primary production that support diverse and specialized faunal assemblages in the deep sea. Despite Nankai Trough in Japan being a geologically active margin hosting numerous seeps, much of the faunal diversity remains undocumented.

Effusive eruption of Snow volcano in 2012–2016 (Chirpoi Island, Kuril islands)

open access: yesВестник Камчатской региональной ассоциации "Учебно-научный центр". Серия: Науки о Земле
In 2012–2016, Snow Volcano, located on Chirpoy Island (Black Brothers Islands, Kuril Islands), experienced a relatively rare event for the Kuril Island Arc — a collateral effusive eruption.

Seismic Disturbance, Productivity and Depth Shape Hadal Benthic Habitats and Biodiversity in the Japan, Ryukyu and Izu‐Ogasawara Trenches (Northwest Pacific Ocean)

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim This study characterises benthic habitats and associated biodiversity in three Japanese subduction trenches, and explores the effects of trench‐specific differences in large‐scale seismic events, disturbance and productivity regimes on habitat structure and assemblage composition.
