Arc Heat Flow and Magmatic Heat Budgets
Abstract We evaluate hydrothermal heat loss from 11 volcanic‐arc segments (∼6,000 km of arc length, ∼10% of the global total), motivated by the observation that much magmatic heat ultimately crosses the land surface as heated aqueous fluid. Heat loss takes place by volcanic eruption, geothermal heat conduction to the surface, fumarolic (vapor ...

The Historical and Legal Status of Pre-modern Ryukyu and the Sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands [PDF]
刘丹,法学博士,上海交通大学凯原法学院海洋法治研究中心副研究员。【中文摘要】:中日钓鱼岛争端中,日方极力撇开《马关条约》和其取得钓鱼岛所谓“主权”之间的关联,并认为钓鱼岛列屿的行政编制隶属琉球、琉球是日本的领土,所以钓鱼岛的主权应归日本,即日方主张包含着“钓鱼岛属于琉球、琉球属于日本,所以钓鱼岛属于日本”的荒谬逻辑。本文着重对琉球地位问题“去伪”,即通过探究近世琉球(1609-1879)在历史和国际法上的地位、中琉历史上的海上自然疆界,从而进一步印证钓鱼岛属于中国,为我国钓鱼岛主权主张提供有力论据。 【

This review reveals major genetic data gaps for Philippine mangrove fauna, especially invertebrates, limiting species‐level eDNA detection. By compiling 48 years of biodiversity records and assessing reference library coverage, it highlights the need for targeted sequencing and shows how integrating eDNA with conventional surveys strengthens monitoring

The Okinawa Trough, to the southwest of Kyusyu, Japan, is an active backarc basin of the Ryukyu (Nansei-Shoto) island arc–trench system caused by the Philippine Sea plate subduction. Unlike other backarc basins around Japan, the Okinawa Trough, ~ 1000 km

Assessment of the peak tsunami amplitude associated with a large earthquake occurring along the southernmost Ryukyu subduction zone in the region of Taiwan [PDF]
The southernmost portion of the Ryukyu Trench near the island of Taiwan potentially generates tsunamigenic earthquakes with magnitudes from 7.5 to 8.7 through shallow rupture. The fault model for this potential region dips 10° northward with a rupture

Circum-Pacific faulting in the Philippines-Taiwan Region [PDF]
Conflicting views of circum-Pacific tectonics have focused on the Philippines-Taiwan region, where there has been neither convincing documentation nor general agreement on the importance of transcurrent (strike-slip) faulting or the possible sense of ...

Phylogeography of the coastal mosquito Aedes togoi across climatic zones: Testing an anthropogenic dispersal hypothesis [PDF]
The coastal mosquito Aedes togoi occurs more or less continuously from subarctic to subtropic zones along the coasts of the Japanese islands and the East Asian mainland.

Autocorrelation Seismic Imaging of Northern Taiwan Using Ambient Noise Data
Abstract Over the past few million years, northern Taiwan records a tectonic history of subduction to arc–continent collision followed by post‐collisional collapse. This evolution motivates constraints on crustal structure, including crustal layering and thickness.

Sub-slab mantle anisotropy beneath south-central Chile [PDF]
Knowledge of mantle flow in convergent margins is crucial to unravelling both the contemporary geodynamics and the past evolution of subduction zones. By analysing shear-wave splitting in both teleseismic and local arrivals, we can determine the relative
