The Sub-Crustal Stress Field in the Taiwan Region
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2015 We investigate the sub-crustal stress in the Taiwan region. A tectonic configuration in this region is dominated by a collision between the Philippine oceanic plate and the Eurasian continental margin.

Introduction to the special issue on the Hualien earthquake swarms
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2022 The Hualien city is located near the pole of rotation induced by the along-strike transition from Ryukyu subduction to the collision between the Luzon arc and the Chinese continental margin in northeastern Taiwan (Rau et al., J Geophy Res 113: B09404 ...

Palaeomagnetism and K-Ar Ages of Neogene Rocks of Northern Taiwan: Tectonics of the Arc Junction of Ryukyu and Luzon Arcs [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 1993 SUMMARY More than 100 block samples were collected for palaeomagnetic and geochronological studies from 14 sites in Miocene and Plio-Pleistocene volcanic rocks in the western foothills province of northern Taiwan, in an attempt to understand the tectonic evolution of the junction of the Ryukyu and the Luzon arcs.

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2019 Okinawa Trough (OT) is a back-arc basin behind the Ryukyu arc-trench system and located along the eastern margin of the Eurasian continent. It extends from the southwest Kyushu Island to the Ilan Plain of Taiwan (Fig. 1).

Tomography of the westernmost Ryukyu subduction zone and the serpentinization of the fore‐arc mantle
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2009 Three‐dimensional tomographic images of the subducting Philippine Sea slab and the fore‐arc mantle beneath NE Taiwan and the westernmost Ryukyu were generated in this study. More than 5600 events recorded simultaneously by seismic networks in Taiwan and Japan were relocated for the inversion for variations in VP, VS, and VP/VS.

Can Hot and Cold Slabs Transport Water Into the Deep Mantle Beyond Subduction Zone Magmatism?
Geochemistry, Geophysics, GeosystemsThe slab thermal state model predicts that only cold slabs should retain some of their intra‐slab water beyond subduction zones, while warmer slabs should be nearly dry past the volcanic arc front.

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2018 Ocean drilling in the Nankai Trough forearc suggests a new scenario for the evolution of the Nankai subduction zone. Continuous subduction since the Late Cretaceous has been a common tectonic scenario, although the plate subduction was transferred from ...

Earth, Planets and SpaceWe investigate the shallow stress regime and pore fluid pressure conditions in the Tokara Islands region of the northern Ryukyu Arc, where active seismicity occurs in a complex tectonic setting characterized by backarc extension.

Large-scale slope failure and active erosion occurring in the southwest Ryukyu fore-arc area [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2001 The southwestern Ryukyu area east of Taiwan Island is an arcuate boundary between Philippine Sea Plate and Eurasian Plate. The topographic features in the area are characterised by (1) a large-scale amphitheatre off Ishigaki Island, just on the ...

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
