Metabolically active microbial communities in marine sediment under high-CO2 and low-pH extremes [PDF]
Sediment-hosting hydrothermal systems in the Okinawa Trough maintain a large amount of liquid, supercritical and hydrate phases of CO2 in the seabed. The emission of CO2 may critically impact the geochemical, geophysical and ecological characteristics of

Origin of the Magnetic Anomalies in the Southern Okinawa Trough.
Two-dimensional magnetic modeling was performed to investigate the magnetic structure beneath the southern Okinawa Trough. The E-W elongating magnetic anomalies accompanied with the geologic segment of the Yaeyama Graben are explained by a simple model assuming of the seismic layers of 3.6-6.4km/s with a uniform normal magnetization of 2.5A/m as the ...
