Shallow Tectonic Tremors Reveal the Beginning of the Slab Window at the Chilean Triple Junction

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 14, 28 July 2025.
Abstract The subduction of active spreading centers is an unusual phenomenon along subduction zones. In southern Chile, the Nazca‐Antarctic spreading system (Chile Rise) subducts beneath the South America plate at the Chile Triple Junction (CTJ), forming the Patagonian slab window.

Microbial distribution on sandstone with honeycomb weathering along rocky coasts in a subtropical environment

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences
Weathering processes occur on terrestrial surfaces in combination with atmospheric and oceanic environments. Salt weathering often results in the formation of a honeycomb structure (tafoni) and a concave microrelief.

Opposite subduction polarity in adjacent plate segments [PDF]

, 2018
Active and fossil subduction systems consisting of two adjacent plates with opposite retreating directions occur in several areas on Earth, as the Mediterranean or Western Pacific.

Tectonic Tremor Explained by Successive Ruptures of Clustered Quartz‐Filled Shear Veins

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 14, 28 July 2025.
Abstract A tectonic tremor is a successive seismic signal observed along plate boundaries in subduction zones. However, the source processes and mechanisms responsible for the tremor remain unclear. Quartz‐filled shear and extension veins are clustered in tens to hundreds of meters thick subduction shear zones exhumed from deep tremor source regions ...

Geodetic Evidence of Shallow Slow‐Slip Phenomena Beneath the Southern Ryukyu Forearc

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 13, 16 July 2025.
Abstract While slow slip events (SSEs) are recognized as a ubiquitous phenomenon in subduction zones, accurately tracking the spatiotemporal distribution of shallow SSEs remains challenging. Here, we investigate the potential occurrence of shallow SSEs in the southern Ryukyu forearc at the western boundary of the Philippine Sea plate using 25 years of ...

Prediction of Complex Observed Shear Wave Splitting Patterns at Ryukyu Subduction Zone Using a Strong Intra‐Slab Anisotropy Model

Geophysical Research Letters
Complex shear wave splitting (SWS) patterns in subduction zones are often interpreted geodynamically as resulting from complex mantle flow; however, this may not always be necessary.

New Magnetic Anomaly Map of the East Asia with Some Preliminary Tectonic Interpretations

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2015
Magnetic data provides basic information for geological and geophysical interpretation. In this study we compile recently collected (57 cruises survey) and old (published and open access) magnetic data.

Circum-Pacific faulting in the Philippines-Taiwan Region [PDF]

, 1962
Conflicting views of circum-Pacific tectonics have focused on the Philippines-Taiwan region, where there has been neither convincing documentation nor general agreement on the importance of transcurrent (strike-slip) faulting or the possible sense of ...
