Structure of the tsunamigenic plate boundary and low-frequency earthquakes in the southern Ryukyu Trench [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2016 Weakly coupled subduction zones may generate earthquakes that lead to tsunamis, but their structure and seismicity are poorly constrained with the Ryukyu subduction zone as one such example. Here, Arai et al.

3-D thermal regime and dehydration processes around the regions of slow earthquakes along the Ryukyu Trench [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Several interplate seismic events, such as short-term slow slip events (S-SSEs) and low-frequency earthquakes (LFEs), have been identified in the Ryukyu Trench, southwestern Japan.

Gravity inversion constrained by OBS receiver function reveals crustal structure in Ryukyu Trench
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 The Ryukyu Trench is located in the northern Philippine Sea. The subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate to the Eurasia Plate along the Ryukyu Trench in the NNW direction leads to extremely complex tectonic processes such as subduction, collision ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Mud volcanoes are topographic features through which over-pressurized sediments are intruded upward and erupted, transporting fluids and sediments from the deep subsurface to the surface/seafloor. To understand material and biogeochemical cycling through

Using GMT for 2D and 3D Modeling of the Ryukyu Trench Topography, Pacific Ocean [PDF]
Miscellanea Geographica: Regional Studies on Development, 2021 This research focuses on the 2D and 3D geospatial analysis of the Ryukyu Trench, a deep-sea trench located in the western Pacific Ocean between Japan and Taiwan.

Potential of megathrust earthquakes along the southern Ryukyu Trench inferred from GNSS data [PDF]
Earth, Planets and Space, 2021 The southern part of the Ryukyu subduction zone has recorded tsunami events with a recurrence interval of several hundred years. Although their source is controversial, one model suggests that the last 1771 Yaeyama tsunami was caused by a shallow ...
