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 ...

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.

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.

Geoscience Letters, 2023 The southwestern Ryukyu Trench is an ideal place for investigating sediment transport from the Taiwan mountain belt to the Ryukyu Trench floor. To study the characteristics of trench turbidites and sediment transport along the trench, we utilize two ...

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

Interchanges and movements of humpback whales in Japanese waters: Okinawa, Ogasawara, Amami, and Hokkaido, using an automated matching system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Humpback whales in the western North Pacific are considered endangered due to their small population size and lack of information. Although previous studies have reported interchanges between regions within a population, the relationship between the ...

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 ...

Potential coupling of microbial methane, nitrogen, and sulphur cycling in the Okinawa Trough cold seep sediments [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumThe Okinawa Trough (OT) is a back-arc basin with a wide distribution of active cold seep systems. However, our understanding of the metabolic function of microbial communities in the cold seep sediments of the OT remains limited.
