Deep countercurrent beneath the Kuroshio in the Okinawa Trough [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2008 The Okinawa Trough is geographically separated into the northern and southern parts by the Kerama Gap, and the northern part is composed of the northern, central and southern subbasins formed by bights of the continental slope. Previous observations have indicated that a deep countercurrent is present beneath the Kuroshio on the continental slope in ...

Review of Methane Seepages in the Okinawa Trough: Progress and Outlook
Geofluids, 2021 It has been two decades since the cold seeps were firstly found in the Okinawa Trough (OT). The scientific cruises and the geological surveys since then have unveiled the currently active submarine methane seeps and significantly improved the ...

Detrital Zircon Provenance in the Sediments in the Southern Okinawa Trough
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 The provenance of sediments in the Southern Okinawa Trough since the late Holocene has been a controversial scientific issue during the past 20 years. Previous studies based on isotope proxies generally indicated Taiwanese rivers as the primary source in

Earth, Planets and Space, 2022 Here, I investigated whether the b-value in the rift-axis of the Okinawa Trough, a back-arc basin, is low. The cause of the low b-value in the rift-axis of the Okinawa Trough had previously been interpreted as increased stress by dyke intrusion. However,

Back Arc Extension in the Okinawa Trough [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1987 The Okinawa Trough, lying to the east of China, is a back arc basin formed by extension within continental lithosphere behind the Ryukyu trench‐arc system. Middle to late Miocene uplift, associated with normal faulting of the initially adjacent Ryukyu nonvolcanic arc and the Taiwan‐Sinzi folded belt, corresponds to the first rifting phase.

Vent Fauna in the Okinawa Trough [PDF]
, 2014 In deep-sea hydrothermal vent fields, faunal distribution is associated with geochemical environments generated by hydrothermal vent activity. The Okinawa Trough is located between the Eurasian Continent and the Ryukyu Arc, and is characterized by sediment-associated fauna associated with vents.

Earth, Planets and Space, 2019 The Okinawa Trough, to the southwest of Kyusyu, Japan, is an active backarc basin of the Ryukyu (Nansei-Shoto) island arc–trench system caused by the Philippine Sea plate subduction. Unlike other backarc basins around Japan, the Okinawa Trough, ~ 1000 km
