Deep structure of South Kamchatka according to geophysical data

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2018
Differences have been discovered in the deep structures of North and South Kamchatka, which raises a question about a boundary between these regions. This problem has been studied on the basis of the seismologic, inverse seismic tomographic (P-waves) and

Back-arc strain in subduction zones: Statistical observations versus numerical modeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
International audience1] Recent statistical analysis by Lallemand et al. (2008) of subduction zone parameters revealed that the back-arc deformation mode depends on the combination between the subducting (nu(sub)) and upper (nu(up)) plate velocities.

Testing Megathrust Rupture Models Using Tsunami Deposits

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 129, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract The 26 January 1700 CE Cascadia subduction zone earthquake ruptured much of the plate boundary and generated a tsunami that deposited sand in coastal marshes from northern California to Vancouver Island. Although the depositional record of tsunami inundation is extensive in some of these marshes, few sites have been investigated in enough ...

Assessment of the suitability of the Finnish climate for Popillia japonica

open access: yesFood Risk Assess Europe, Volume 2, Issue 2, April 2024.
Abstract Popillia japonica is a priority pest which all EU countries must survey annually. However, surveys are not required if the climate in the country is unsuitable for the pest. In previous research, it was unclear whether the climate in Finland was suitable for P. japonica. Based on a literature review, we identified soil moisture and temperature

Petrology of the 1952 Eruption and Ancient Lava and Pyroclastic Flows of Krenitsyn Peak Volcano, Onekotan Island, Kuril Arc, Russia

open access: yesGeosciences
Krenitsyn Peak is one of the two active volcanoes on Onekotan Island (Greater Kuril Ridge). The inaccessibility of the island, along with the volcano being situated within a sizeable (7 km in diameter) and cold (3.7 °C) caldera lake, has led to minimal ...

Persistent elastic behavior above a megathrust rupture patch: Nias island, West Sumatra [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We quantify fore-arc deformation using fossil reefs to test the assumption commonly made in seismic cycle models that anelastic deformation of the fore arc is negligible.

Terrane Collision‐Induced Subduction Initiation: Mode Selection and Implications for Western Pacific Subduction System

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 25, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract In the regime of plate tectonics, the subduction of an oceanic plate generally terminates with the collision and accretion of continental terranes. Then, a new subduction zone may form in the neighboring oceanic plates, which is defined as the terrane collision‐induced subduction initiation (SI).

Modeled Flooding by Tsunamis and a Storm Versus Observed Extent of Coral Erratics on Anegada, British Virgin Islands—Further Evidence for a Great Caribbean Earthquake Six Centuries Ago

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 129, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract Models of near‐field tsunamis and an extreme hurricane provide further evidence for a great precolonial earthquake along the Puerto Rico Trench. The models are benchmarked to brain‐coral boulders and cobbles on Anegada, 125 km south of the trench.

Spatial‐temporal shifting patterns and in situ conservation of spotted seal (Phoca largha) populations in the Yellow Sea ecoregion

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 307-318, March 2024.
The distribution pattern of spotted seal habitats varied greatly among different months. The migration route formed in the Yellow Sea ecoregion indicated that this population might be geographically isolated from populations in other breeding areas around the world.

Algorithmic and methodological aspects of transformftion of regional gravity anomalies (on the example of the Kuril island arc)

open access: yesВестник Камчатской региональной ассоциации "Учебно-научный центр". Серия: Науки о Земле
The technique of transforming gravity anomalies for large areas, which uses geodetic coordinates of field points and takes into account the spherical shape of the Earth, is considered.
