Potential coupling of microbial methane, nitrogen, and sulphur cycling in the Okinawa Trough cold seep sediments [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumThe Okinawa Trough (OT) is a back-arc basin with a wide distribution of active cold seep systems. However, our understanding of the metabolic function of microbial communities in the cold seep sediments of the OT remains limited.

Geomorphic Development of Modern Fringing Reefs of Yoron Island, Ryukyu Arc, Japan.
The Quaternary Research (Daiyonki-Kenkyu), 1994 Modern fringing reefs of Yoron Island, Ryukyu Arc, Japan, have been investigated for the purpose of understanding the geomorphic development of the surface features and shallow sedimentological structure of the coral reef. Field investigations have been conducted by means of geomorphological observations, scuba divings, bathymetrical soundings and ...

Review of Subsurface Dam Technology Based on Japan’s Experience in the Ryukyu Arc
WaterBased on the success of an irrigation project that utilized two subsurface dams as water sources on Miyako Island, ten additional subsurface dams have now been completed. The technologies that have made the giant subterranean dam possible are the integrated storage model for creating water utilization plans and the Soil Mixed Wall method for ...
