Deep structure of South Kamchatka according to geophysical data
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]
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
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
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

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]
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.

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).

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.

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.
