Stress Transfer From Slow Slip Events to Earthquake Swarms as a Cycle in the Southernmost Ryukyu Subduction Zone

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Recent megathrust earthquakes preceded by slow slip events highlight static stress transfer as a key triggering mechanism. However, there are limited insights into the interplay between static stress transfer and elevated fluid pressure before earthquake triggering.

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.

The Evolution of Giant Clam Science: From Foundational Studies to Emerging Frontiers

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
This review synthesizes nearly two centuries of giant clam research, identifying dominant themes, knowledge gaps, and emerging opportunities. Ecology, physiology, aquaculture, genomics, and biomineralization dominate the field, whereas anatomy and biotechnology remain underexplored. Future progress requires stronger integration of genomics, physiology,

Introduction to the special issue on tectonic environment and seabed resources of the southern Okinawa Trough

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.

Integrative Taxonomic Revision of Goatfishes (Mullidae) in the Northern South China Sea Based on Morphology and Multilocus Molecular Data

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We performed an integrative taxonomic revision of Mullidae from the northern South China Sea using morphology and multilocus markers (COI, 16S rRNA, and IRBP) based on 283 specimens. Morphology identified 18 species in three genera, with PCA showing intergeneric differentiation mainly driven by depth‐related and head‐related traits despite partial ...

Can Hot and Cold Slabs Transport Water Into the Deep Mantle Beyond Subduction Zone Magmatism?

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The 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.

Punctuated growth of an accretionary prism and the onset of a seismogenic megathrust in the Nankai Trough

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 ...

Comparative Population Genetics of Two Alvinocaridid Shrimp Species in Chemosynthetic Ecosystems of the Western Pacific

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 291-303, March 2026.
Little is known about the population divergence and gene flow of deep‐sea animals living in disjunct hydrothermal vents and cold seep habitats. Taking advantage of samples collected from multiple cruises across a huge distance of >5000 km, we revealed the differential population divergence pattern and gene flow in two congeneric species of shrimps ...
