Opposite subduction polarity in adjacent plate segments [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Imaging of Arc-Arc Collision in the Ryukyu Forearc Region Offshore Hualien From TAICRUST OBS Line 16

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 1998
A velocity model constructed using ocean bottom seismometer(OBS)data collected along TAICRUST Line 14 indicates that the Ryukyu Arcbasement(velocity>~5 km/s)extends beneath the Nanao forearc basin to adepth of 18 to 20 km.Furthermore,our velocity model indicates that theRyukyu Arc basement extends west to at least 122°E,near the west end ofline 14 ...

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

open access: yesTerrestrial, 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.

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Crustal density structure investigation of the East China Sea and adjacent regions using wavenumber domain 3D density imaging method

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space
The East China Sea, situated at the intersection of the Eurasian, Philippine Sea, and Pacific plates, is characterized by complex geology influenced by tectonic phenomena such as plate movements, volcanism, faults, and uplifts.
