The Kuroshio radiocesium stream
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2022 The Fukushima accident released short-lived Cs-134 and longer-lived Cs-137 to the ocean. The amount, although substantial, is much less than that produced during the atomic bomb tests 60 years ago. But, the latter has received little attention. Here we found only Cs-137 in waters near the origin of the Kuroshio.

SHIMANTO GEOSYNCLINE AND KUROSHIO PALEOLAND [PDF]
Journal of Physics of the Earth, 1978 The late Mesozoic to early Neogene geosyncline in the Outer zone of Southwest Japan has been studied in detail in the Kii Peninsula by the Research Group for the Shimanto Geosyncline. The existence of the Kuroshio Paleoland to the south of the geosyncline was inferred by various sedimentologic evidences.

Estimation of the maximum utilization area including home range and peripheral sites
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 There is increasing evidence that occasional utilization area (peripheral sites), in addition to typical utilization area (home range), is important for wildlife conservation and management. Here we estimated the maximum utilization area (MUA), including
