A new 3D geometry model of Northwest Pacific slabs [PDF]
We provide an improved 3D geometry model of the Northwest Pacific subduction plate. Our model focuses on revealing the morphology, degree of extension and especially the local structure of the subducted plate.

Deep-focus earthquakes: spatial patterns, possible causes and geodynamic consequences
The spatial analysis was conducted to analyze the positions of earthquakes hypocenters in the transit zone of the upper mantle and the focal mechanisms of the strongest earthquakes in the subduction slabs of theOkhotskSeasegment of the Kuril-Kamchatka ...

Abstract The Louisville seismic gap associated with the subduction of the Louisville Ridge (LR) along the Tonga‐Kermadec trench is a globally prominent feature. Due to the lack of near‐field seismic monitoring, the earthquake potential and seismic behavior in this region have long been an enigma.

Abstract A fascinating phenomenon often occurs as pairs of vortices in two rows on the leeward of some islands. The satellite remote sensing has been a major facilitator to observe this phenomenon. In this study, we conduct a statistical analysis on the occurrence of vortex street by processing 20‐year cloud images from the MODIS remote sensing data ...

Advancements in the GRACE and GRACE‐FO Gradiometer Mode
Abstract The global gravitational gradient field has not been observed since the decommission of GOCE in 2013. Based on the foundational work of Peidou and Pagiatakis (2019, https://doi.org/10.1029/2018jb016382), we advance the concept of GRACE gradiometer mode (GM) for the purpose of using GRACE, GRACE‐FO and future gravity space missions as ...
