Configuration and structure of the Philippine Sea Plate off Boso, Japan: constraints on the shallow subduction kinematics, seismicity, and slow slip events [PDF]
Earth, Planets and Space, 2019 We applied tomographic inversion and receiver function analysis to seismic data from ocean-bottom seismometers and land-based stations to understand the structure and its relationship with slow slip events off Boso, Japan.

Communications Earth & EnvironmentDelineation of geochemically distinct domains in Earth’s mantle is essential for understanding large-scale mantle convective flow and dynamics. Previous studies identify possible long-lived (>60 million-year) mantle isotopic domains (i.e.

Lateral Variations of Rayleigh-Wave Dispersions in the Philippine Sea Region
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2007 Fresh two-dimensional group and phase-velocity distribution maps of the Philippine Sea and surrounding areas are constructed using the tomographic inversion of more than 2500 Rayleigh-wave dispersion curves in the 20- to 120-sec period range. The results

The Crustal Thickness of the Philippine Sea Plate Derived from Gravity Data
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2015 We constructed a new free-air gravity anomaly map of the Philippine Sea Plate (PSP) using ship-tracked gravity data from the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC).

Intermingled fates of the South China Sea and Philippine Sea plate. [PDF]
Natl Sci Rev, 2019 Recent studies have shown the extent and nature of the South China Sea (SCS) at the end of spreading by unfolding (i.e. structurally restoring) the Manila slab, which is the subducted part of the SCS, and by identifying the nature of the crust ...

Exploring the Dynamics of Global Plate Motion Based on the Granger Causality Test
Applied Sciences, 2021 The geodynamic mechanism is the research focus and core issue of plate motions and plate tectonics. Analyzing the time series of earthquakes may help us understand the relationship between two plate boundaries and further explore movement mechanisms ...

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2018 Ocean drilling in the Nankai Trough forearc suggests a new scenario for the evolution of the Nankai subduction zone. Continuous subduction since the Late Cretaceous has been a common tectonic scenario, although the plate subduction was transferred from ...

Variations in the crustal structure and strength of plate coupling along the Ryukyu subduction zone
Geoscience Letters, 2023 The Ryukyu trench-arc-back arc system is part of the subduction margins of the Philippine Sea plate. Previous studies have indicated that several geophysical and geological characteristics reveal significant variations (including convergent rate ...

Seismic Evidence of Ancient Westward Residual Slab Subduction Beneath Southern Taiwan
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2015 The northeastern convergence of the Philippine Sea plate toward the Eurasian plate causes the major western Philippine Sea plate boundary to subduct toward the northwest or west directions. However, this phenomenon is not clearly observed along the plate
