Arc Heat Flow and Magmatic Heat Budgets

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
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]

open access: yes, 2016
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。 【

Triassic 40Ar/39Ar ages from the Sakaigawa unit, Kii Peninsula, Japan: implications for possible merger of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt with large-scale tectonic systems of the East Asian margin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
International audienceThe 218.4 ± 0.4, 228.8 ± 0.9 and 231.9 ± 0.7 Ma 40Ar/39Ar laser probe pseudo-plateau ages (2σ; 49–63% 39Ar-release) of very low-grade meta-pelitic whole-rocks from the Sakaigawa unit date high-P/T metamorphism.

Genetic Reference Gaps Limit eDNA Metabarcoding and Biodiversity Monitoring of Tropical Mangrove Ecosystems

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
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

Seismic structure of rifting in the Okinawa Trough, an active backarc basin of the Ryukyu (Nansei-Shoto) island arc–trench system

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2019
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]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018
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]

open access: yes, 1962
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]

open access: yes, 2012
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

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
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]

open access: yes, 2012
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
