Waveform modeling of the slab beneath Japan [PDF]
, 2007 The tomographic P wave model for the Japan subduction zone derived by Zhao et al. (1994) has two very striking features: a slab about 90 km thick with P wave velocities 3–6% higher than the surrounding mantle and a mantle wedge with −6% low-velocity ...

Integrative 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.

Shape of the ocean surface and implications for the Earth's interior: GEOS-3 results [PDF]
A new set of 1 deg x 1 deg mean free air anomalies was used to construct a gravimetric geoid by Stokes' formula for the Indian Ocean. Utilizing such 1 deg x 1 deg geoid comparisons were made with GEOS-3 radar altimeter estimates of geoid height.

Ridge subduction sparked reorganization of the Pacific plate-mantle system 60-50 million years ago [PDF]
, 2015 A reorganization centered on the Pacific plate occurred ~53–47 million years ago. A “top-down” plate tectonic mechanism, complete subduction of the Izanagi plate, as opposed to a “bottom-up” mantle flow mechanism, has been proposed as the main driver ...

Analysis and geological interpretation of gravity data from GEOS-3 altimeter [PDF]
A number of detailed gravimetric geoids of portions of the world's oceans from marine gravity measurements were constructed. The geoids were constructed by computing 1 x 1 deg or 10 x 10 deg averages of free-air anomaly data and subtracting these values ...

Insights into Li and Li isotope cycling and sub-arc metasomatism from veined mantle xenoliths, Kamchatka [PDF]
, 2009 Harzburgitic xenoliths cut by pyroxenite veins from Avachinsky volcano, Kamchatka, are derived from the sub-arc mantle and record element transfer from the slab to the arc. Olivine and orthopyroxene in the harzburgites have Li isotopic compositions (δ7Li
