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 ...

Imaging of Arc-Arc Collision in the Ryukyu Forearc Region Offshore Hualien From TAICRUST OBS Line 16

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 1998
A velocity model constructed using ocean bottom seismometer(OBS)data collected along TAICRUST Line 14 indicates that the Ryukyu Arcbasement(velocity＞～5 km/s)extends beneath the Nanao forearc basin to adepth of 18 to 20 km.Furthermore,our velocity model indicates that theRyukyu Arc basement extends west to at least 122°E,near the west end ofline 14 ...

Seismic Disturbance, Productivity and Depth Shape Hadal Benthic Habitats and Biodiversity in the Japan, Ryukyu and Izu‐Ogasawara Trenches (Northwest Pacific Ocean)

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim This study characterises benthic habitats and associated biodiversity in three Japanese subduction trenches, and explores the effects of trench‐specific differences in large‐scale seismic events, disturbance and productivity regimes on habitat structure and assemblage composition.

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).

Missing western half of the Pacific Plate: Geochemical nature of the Izanagi-Pacific Ridge interaction with a stationary boundary between the Indian and Pacific mantles [PDF]

, 2015
The source mantle of the basaltic ocean crust on the western half of the Pacific Plate was examined using Pb–Nd–Hf isotopes. The results showed that the subducted Izanagi–Pacific Ridge (IPR) formed from both Pacific (180–∼80 Ma) and Indian (∼80–70 Ma ...

Analysis of Shear Wave Splitting Patterns in Alaska: Evidence for Strong Intra‐Slab Anisotropy

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 20, 28 October 2025.
Abstract Shear wave splitting (SWS) patterns at subduction zones are often interpreted by complex mantle flow above or below the slab. However, our recent previous work shows dipping anisotropic slabs can explain observed patterns in Japan. Here, we extend this analysis to the Alaska subduction zone, using 2,567 high‐quality teleseismic SWS ...

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 ...
