Active normal faults and submarine landslides in the Keelung Shelf off NE Taiwan

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2018
The westernmost Okinawa Trough back-arc basin is located to the north of the Ryukyu islands and is situated above the northward dipping Ryukyu subducted slab.

Four new deep-sea provannid snails (Gastropoda: Abyssochrysoidea) discovered from hydrocarbon seep and hydrothermal vents in Japan [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2019
Recently, the species richness of provannid gastropods inhabiting chemosynthetic ecosystems in the northwestern Pacific has been reassessed, revealing a much higher diversity than previously realized.

A Persistent Mid-Depth Dissolved Manganese Maximum in the Southern Okinawa Trough

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 1998
The vertical distributions of managanese at a station in the southern Okinawa Trough were investigated bi-monthly by analyzing the dissolved manganese in filtered seawaters.

Back Arc Extension in the Okinawa Trough

, 1987
International audienceThe 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.

Sea surface temperature oscillations in southern Okinawa Trough during last 2700 years from ODP Hole 195-1202B

, 2012
Most of the temperature reconstructions for the past two millennia are based on proxy data from various sites on land. Here we present a bidecadal resolution record of sea surface temperature (SST) in Southern Okinawa Trough for the past ca.

One-dimensional shear-wave velocity structures beneath the Okinawa trough inferred from surface wave phase velocities [PDF]

, 2015
Structures beneath back-arc basins or marginal seas are as important as those beneath island arcs and forearcs to understand geodynamics in subduction zones.

Source area of the 1858 earthquake swarm in the central Ryukyu Islands revealed by the observations of Father Louis Furet

Earth, Planets and Space, 2017
We estimated the location and magnitude of earthquakes constituting the 1858 earthquake swarm in the central Ryukyu Islands using the felt earthquakes recorded by Father Louis Furet who lived in Naha, Okinawa Island, in the middle of the nineteenth ...

Synergistic Effect of Ambient Ozone, Relative Humidity, and Temperature on Epidemic Patterns of Influenza: A Hypothesis and Its Verification

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The mechanisms underlying seasonal patterns in influenza epidemics have long been an enigma. Our laboratory study revealed that ambient ozone significantly inactivates airborne influenza viruses synergistically with higher relative humidity and temperature.

Heavy Mineral Compositions of Sediments in the Southern Okinawa Trough and Their Provenance-Tracing Implication

, 2021
Heavy mineral assemblages have been widely used to effectively trace sediment sources. Heavy mineral assemblages are rarely used in research to trace sediment sources in the southern Okinawa Trough compared with geochemical proxies.

First insights into oceanic manta ray movements in Japan using satellite telemetry

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Japanese waters represent the northern distributional limit of the western Pacific distribution of the oceanic manta ray (Mobula birostris), yet movement ecology in this region remains poorly understood. We report movements of the first satellite‐tagged individual in Japan.
