Crustal thickness beneath the Ryukyu arc from travel-time inversion [PDF]
Earth, Planets and Space, 2009 Abstract First P-wave arrival times recorded by the seismic network in the Ryukyu arc were analyzed in order to image the lateral variation in crustal thickness beneath the Ryukyu arc. The results indicate a low P n velocity (7.5 km/s) in the Ryukyu arc and a relatively high P n velocity (7.9 km/s) in the Okinawa ...

Volcanic Characteristics of Kueishantao in Northeast Taiwan and Their Implications
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2010 Kueishantao (KST) is a small offshore volcanic island located at the southernmost part of the Okinawa Trough. In this study, we conducted a detailed mapping incorporating the new high resolution LiDAR DTM laser scanning device to accurately construct a ...

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract The mesophotic zone off Tanegashima Island (approximately 30–40 m deep) is a marine macroalgal hotspot in subtropical Japan; however, the taxonomic diversity of calcifying red algal community remains poorly understood. Our phylogenetic analyses based on psbA, rbcL, and COI‐5P gene markers disclosed the presence of at least 12 rhodolith‐forming

Receiver Function Imaging of the Crustal Structure Beneath Northern Taiwan Using Dense Linear Arrays
Geosciences, 2022 In order to realize the crustal structure in Taiwan, the receiver function method was used to analyze the teleseismic waveforms recorded by two orthogonal broadband linear arrays deployed in northern Taiwan in the east–west and south–north directions by ...

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 ...
