Tsunami hazard analysis for Chinese coast from potential earthquakes in the western North Pacific
Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2020 China is a Pacific coastal country, adjacent to the Circum-Pacific seismic belt. The tsunami from the western North Pacific is very dangerous to China because of the short distance.

Tectono-magmatic evolution of the Philippine Sea Plate: A review
Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022 The West Pacific Margin incorporates 75% of global marginal basins/back-arc basins. These basins and their adjacent trenches and island arcs constitute a huge trench-arc-basin system created by the interactions among three tectonic plates (the Pacific ...

Tsunami Risk Change Analysis for Qidong County of China Based on Land Use Classification
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Tsunamis can cause high numbers of casualties, as well as direct and indirect economic losses to coastal regions. The huge destructiveness of tsunamis requires us to study tsunami risk and its temporal change. We adopt the tsunami scenarios of the Ryukyu

Tsunami Folklore and Possible Tsunami Source on the Eastern Coast of Taiwan
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2013 Folklore tells of a large sea wave that struck an area of Chenggong on the eastern coast of Taiwan. This event is estimated to have occurred in the middle of the 19th century based on an oral history of the area.

Activated seismicity by strain rate change in the Yaeyama region, south Ryukyu
Earth, Planets and Space, 2018 We evaluated the long-term strain rate by using continuous global navigation satellite system data of GEONET and compared it with seismicity activation between 1996 and 2017 near Iriomote Island, south Ryukyu arc.

A theory of political divergence and gradual institutional change
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract Why do some societies succeed in breaking away from historical traditions while others remain trapped? This paper proposes a formal theory to investigate the interaction between short‐run and long‐run political dynamics, highlighting a co‐evolution of political institutions and social structures.

First insights into oceanic manta ray movements in Japan using satellite telemetry
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Japanese waters represent the northern distributional limit of the western Pacific distribution of the oceanic manta ray (Mobula birostris), yet movement ecology in this region remains poorly understood. We report movements of the first satellite‐tagged individual in Japan.
