Response of the mantle to flat slab evolution: Insights from local splitting beneath Peru [PDF]

, 2014
The dynamics of flat subduction, particularly the interaction between a flat slab and the overriding plate, are poorly understood. Here we study the (seismically) anisotropic properties and deformational regime of the mantle directly above the Peruvian ...

Subduction Polarity Reversal During Arc‐Continent Collision in Taiwan: New Insight From P‐Wave Tomography

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract The prominent arc‐continent collision zone in the Taiwan region is characterized by dual‐slab subduction systems, offering a unique window to investigate subduction polarity reversal (SPR) between the Eurasian and Philippine Sea plates, but the mechanism of this process in Taiwan is elusive because of complex subduction processes.

Isolation and characterization of a thermophilic, obligately anaerobic and heterotrophic marine Chloroflexi bacterium from a Chloroflexi dominated microbial community associated with a Japanese shallow hydrothermal system, and proposal for Thermomarinilinea lacunofontalis gen. nov., sp. nov. [PDF]

, 2013
A novel marine thermophilic and heterotrophic Anaerolineae bacterium in the phylum Chloroflexi, strain SW7T, was isolated from an in situ colonization system deployed in the main hydrothermal vent of the Taketomi submarine hot spring field located on the

Resolving allogenic forcings on shallow‐marine sedimentary archives of the Taiwan Western Foreland Basin

Sedimentology, Volume 72, Issue 6, Page 1755-1785, October 2025.
ABSTRACT An investigation of allogenic forcings on shallow‐marine strata of the Miocene–Pliocene Kueichulin Formation, Taiwan Western Foreland Basin, reveals that shifts in palaeoenvironments were strongly controlled by: (1) orogenesis and basin subsidence, (2) precession‐driven hydroclimate and (3) obliquity‐driven atmospheric and ocean circulation ...

Lithospheric Structures of Marginal Sea Basins in and Around the Philippine Sea Plate Shaped by Eastward Mantle Flow

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 17, 16 September 2025.
Abstract Formation of marginal sea basins is generally considered to be closely linked to mantle flow, but it is still ambiguous due to limited evidence from seismic anisotropy. Here, we investigate three‐dimensional shear‐wave azimuthal anisotropy in the lithosphere beneath the Philippine Sea Plate (PSP) and its surrounding regions.

Spatial and temporal distribution of low frequency volcanic earthquakes in the southern Okinawa Trough back-arc basin

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2019
Located to the south of East China Sea, the Southern Okinawa Trough (SOT) is a back-arc basin, which belongs to the Ryukyu subduction system. SOT is characterized by an active normal faulting system and numerous volcanic outcrops, which could have marine

South Ilan Plain High-Resolution 3-D S-Wave Velocity from Ambient Noise Tomography

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2016
The Ilan Plain in northeastern Taiwan is located at a pivotal point where the Ryukyu trench subduction zone, the northern Taiwan crustal stretching zone, and the ongoing arc-continent collision zone converge.

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.
