Slab Pull Drives IBM Trench Advance Despite the Weakened Philippine Sea Plate
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The mechanism behind the significant Izu‐Bonin‐Mariana (IBM) trench advance is still controversial. We conduct slab subduction numerical models that reproduce the spatio‐temporal tectonic evolution of the Philippine Sea region to investigate whether slab

Variations in the crustal structure and strength of plate coupling along the Ryukyu subduction zone
Geoscience Letters, 2023 The Ryukyu trench-arc-back arc system is part of the subduction margins of the Philippine Sea plate. Previous studies have indicated that several geophysical and geological characteristics reveal significant variations (including convergent rate ...

Low-frequency earthquakes along the Ryukyu Islands triggered by teleseismic earthquakes
Earth, Planets and Space, 2021 Tremors and low-frequency earthquakes (LFEs), which occur in the plate interface, can provide useful information about the state of aseismic stress transfer in mega-earthquake fault zones.

Potential of megathrust earthquakes along the southern Ryukyu Trench inferred from GNSS data
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 ...
