Highlands, Islands and the Evolutionary Impact of Founder Event Dispersal in Sinomicrurus Coralsnakes

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Island archipelagos and montane regions of East and Southeast Asia represent some of the world's most biodiverse yet poorly understood biogeographic systems. Whether regional diversity accumulates primarily through in situ speciation, dispersal‐mediated range shifts, or some combination of these processes remains unclear.

Active normal faults and submarine landslides in the Keelung Shelf off NE Taiwan

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2018
The westernmost Okinawa Trough back-arc basin is located to the north of the Ryukyu islands and is situated above the northward dipping Ryukyu subducted slab.

Origin, Tectonic Processes, and Metasomatism of Serpentinite in the Shimanto Accretionary Complex, SW Japan: Possible Diapiric Intrusion of Serpentinized Oceanic Lithosphere

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Serpentinite plays a major role in the geodynamics of subduction zones. However, the processes by which serpentinite is incorporated into accretionary complexes, and the extent to which it interacts chemically and physically with accretionary lithologies, remain unclear.

Phylogenetic diversity and comparative historical demography within a species complex of Indo-West Pacific Saccostrea oysters

Aquatic Living Resources
Taxonomic uncertainties, often arising from cryptic species or lineages, present a significant impediment to wildlife conservation. This problem has been partially alleviated by the advent of DNA barcoding.

Characteristics of seismicity in the southern Okinawa Trough and their relation to back-arc rifting processes

Earth, Planets and Space, 2021
The southern part of the Okinawa Trough forms a narrow back-arc rift basin where evidence for submarine volcanoes and active hydrothermal venting is observed.

Seismic Lg-wave attenuation tomography: Method, algorithm, data processing flow and application

地球与行星物理论评, 2022
With the rapid development of modern seismic network, seismological signals can be digitally recorded in broad frequency band, larger dynamic range, and higher spatial density, which provide the possibility of obtaining fine structures of the quality ...

A Plate‐Based Model for Reconciling Geodetic and Geologic Vertical Deformation Across Taiwan

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Reconciling geodetic and geologic deformation remains a fundamental challenge in tectonic studies of active orogens. Elastic rebound theory posits that present‐day deformation differs from deformation recorded over time scales longer than the earthquake cycle because locked faults store and release strain.

Rift Development, Tectonic Forcings, and Magmatic Feedbacks at Santorini and Kolumbo Volcanoes Constrained by Scientific Drilling and Core‐Seismic Integration

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Volcanism in continental rifts, rifted volcanic arcs, and back‐arc basins is fundamentally coupled with crustal extension. However, the precise geometry and timing of the fault systems that facilitate magma transport and accommodate extension remain poorly constrained.

Arc Heat Flow and Magmatic Heat Budgets

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract We evaluate hydrothermal heat loss from 11 volcanic‐arc segments (∼6,000 km of arc length, ∼10% of the global total), motivated by the observation that much magmatic heat ultimately crosses the land surface as heated aqueous fluid. Heat loss takes place by volcanic eruption, geothermal heat conduction to the surface, fumarolic (vapor ...

New Attenuation Relationship for Peak Ground and Pseudo-Spectral Acceleration of Normal-Faulting Earthquakes in Offshore Northeast Taiwan

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2016
Ground motions from normal-faulting earthquakes are generally considered to be smaller than those of strike-slip and thrust events. On 11 April 2011 a crustal normal-faulting earthquake [the Fukushima earthquake (Mw 6.6)] occurred in Eastern Japan.
