Slip distribution and tectonic implication of the 1999 Chi‐Chi, Taiwan, Earthquake [PDF]

, 2001
We report on the fault complexity of the large (M_w = 7.6) Chi‐Chi earthquake obtained by inverting densely and well‐distributed static measurements consisting of 119 GPS and 23 doubly integrated strong motion records.

Evolving force balance during incipient subduction [PDF]

, 2004
Nearly half of all active subduction zones initiated during the Cenozoic. All subduction zones associated with active back arc extension have initiated since the Eocene, hinting that back arc extension may be intimately associated with an interval ...

Three-dimensional structure of P wave velocity in the crust and upper mantle beneath southwest Japan [PDF]

, 1997
Trevel-time data of the P wave were inverted to study three-dimensional structure of the P wave velocity in the upper mantle and crust beneath the Shikoku and Chugoku districts, southwest Japan.

Investigating the kinematics of mountain building in Taiwan from the spatiotemporal evolution of the foreland basin and western foothills [PDF]

, 2006
The Taiwanese range has resulted from the collision between the Luzon volcanic arc and the Chinese continental margin, which started about 6.5 Myr ago in the north, and has since propagated southward.

Punctuated growth of an accretionary prism and the onset of a seismogenic megathrust in the Nankai Trough

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 ...

Plate convergence measured by GPS across the Sundaland/Philippine Sea Plate deformed boundary: the Philippines and eastern Indonesia [PDF]

Geophysical Journal International, 1999
SUMMARY The western boundary of the Philippine Sea (PH) Plate in the Philippines and eastern Indonesia corresponds to a wide deformation zone that includes the stretched continental margin of Sundaland, the Philippine Mobile Belt (PMB), extending from Luzon to the Molucca Sea, and a mosaic of continental blocks around the PH/Australia/Sunda triple ...

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

Enhanced arc magmatic productivity of the Western Pacific island arcs deduced from gravity-derived arc crustal growth rates

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Island arcs are postulated as the juvenile components that contribute to the growth of continental crust. Growth rates of arc crusts were previously computed using crustal thicknesses derived from seismic data.

Preface to the Special Issue on "Geodynamics of Taiwan and the Philippines"

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2015
This special issue contains a collection of six papers dealing with the geology, geophysics, and tectonics of Taiwan and the Philippines. Most of these papers were presented at the fourth _ Earth Sciences International _ in Manila, Philippines, 8 - 9 ...
