The Relation Between Two Types of Frequent Wave Breaking Over Southeastern Siberia and Different Conditions of Unseasonable Midsummer Weather Over Japan

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 10, August 2026.
To analyze the different morphologies of Rossby wave breaking over Eastern Siberia and their relationships with the anomalous patterns of temperature and precipitation that cause unseasonable midsummer weather conditions over Japan, we performed regression analyses against the interannual variabilities of the anticyclonic and cyclonic Rossby wave ...

Importance of pumiceous sediment in influencing chemistry of hydrothermal fluids in Okinawa Trough: insights from boron isotopic ratios

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science
The involvement of sediments in the Okinawa Trough hydrothermal system is well-established. However, data on boron in sediments are scarce, with minimal quantitative analysis.

Ambient Noise and Teleseismic Signals Recorded by Ocean-Bottom Seismometers Offshore Eastern Taiwan

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2010
Broadband records from ocean-bottom seismometers deployed in the Okinawa trough and the Huatung basin were analyzed to provide seafloor noise characteristics and the detection thresholds for teleseismic body and surface waves. Ambient noise levels on the

Seismic Constraints on Igneous Intrusions and Fluid/Gas Distribution in a Continental Back‐Arc System: Evidence From the Yaeyama Rift in the Southern Okinawa Trough

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The geometry and distribution of igneous intrusions, which define melt source locations and record syn‐emplacement stress conditions, are essential for understanding tectonic and magmatic processes associated with crustal extension. However, in back‐arc settings along continental margins, structural constraints on these features remain poorly ...

Evidence for the 8,200 a b.p. cooling event in the middle Okinawa Trough [PDF]

Geo-Marine Letters, 2007
Based on new and existing data on oxygen isotopes, alkenone-surface seawater temperature trends, planktonic foraminifers, lithology, and clay mineral composition of piston cores, a distinct cooling event has been identified around 8,200 cal a B.P. in the middle Okinawa Trough, northwest Pacific. This corresponds to the 8,200 a B.P.

Highlands, Islands and the Evolutionary Impact of Founder Event Dispersal in Sinomicrurus Coralsnakes

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Island archipelagos and montane regions of East and Southeast Asia represent some of the world's most biodiverse yet poorly understood biogeographic systems. Whether regional diversity accumulates primarily through in situ speciation, dispersal‐mediated range shifts, or some combination of these processes remains unclear.

Organic carbon burial and their implication on sea surface primary productivity in the middle Okinawa Trough over the past 200 ka

Frontiers in Marine Science
The long-term burial of organic carbon in marginal seas plays a critical role in Earth’s carbon cycle and climate change. However, the mechanism of organic carbon (OC) burial in the Okinawa Trough (OT) during glacial-interglacial timescales remains ...

Assessing relational values of sacred landscapes through text mining of folktales: Insights from the Ryukyu Islands, Japan

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2383-2392, July 2026.
Abstract Assessing relational values of nature through its cultural and spiritual significance is crucial for effective nature conservation. Folktales offer insights into traditional relationships between people and nature, and text mining is a powerful tool for extracting information from textual datasets.

A Plate‐Based Model for Reconciling Geodetic and Geologic Vertical Deformation Across Taiwan

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Reconciling geodetic and geologic deformation remains a fundamental challenge in tectonic studies of active orogens. Elastic rebound theory posits that present‐day deformation differs from deformation recorded over time scales longer than the earthquake cycle because locked faults store and release strain.

Foodborne Risk to Human Health of Hepatitis E Virus in Pigs and Pigmeat in Ireland

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major cause of acute viral hepatitis in people worldwide. In Ireland, evidence of past HEV exposure has been identified in approximately 5% of blood donors, while a small proportion have detectable viral RNA. HEV is also present in pigs and has been detected in pigmeat products, raising concerns about foodborne ...
