South Ilan Plain High-Resolution 3-D S-Wave Velocity from Ambient Noise Tomography
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2016 The Ilan Plain in northeastern Taiwan is located at a pivotal point where the Ryukyu trench subduction zone, the northern Taiwan crustal stretching zone, and the ongoing arc-continent collision zone converge.

Millennial paleotsunami history at Minna Island, southern Ryukyu Islands, Japan
Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2020 Huge tsunami waves have repeatedly bombarded the southern end of the Ryukyu Islands (Miyako and Yaeyama Islands, southwestern Japan) at several-hundred-year intervals.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.In this study, three cardinalfish species in the genus Siphamia, S. tubifer, S. mossambica, and S. fuscolineata, from locations throughout the hosts' broad Indo‐Pacific distribution were analyzed for patterns of genetic divergence along with their luminous bacterial symbionts.

Fault model of the 1771 Yaeyama earthquake along the Ryukyu Trench estimated from the devastating tsunami [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2009 The 24 April 1771 Yaeyama earthquake generated a large tsunami with a maximum runup of 30 m, causing significant damage in south Ryukyu, Japan, despite the weak ground shaking. Previously proposed mechanisms of the tsunami include intraplate faulting or submarine landslide in the forearc slope. In this study, I estimate the fault parameters of the 1771

On the origin of the North Pacific arcs [PDF]
, 2004 We present a new hypothesis that relates global plate tectonics to the formation of marginal basins, island arcs, spreading ridges and arc-shaped mountain belts around the North Pacific Ocean.

Geophysical Research LettersComplex shear wave splitting (SWS) patterns in subduction zones are often interpreted geodynamically as resulting from complex mantle flow; however, this may not always be necessary.

The Sub-Crustal Stress Field in the Taiwan Region
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2015 We investigate the sub-crustal stress in the Taiwan region. A tectonic configuration in this region is dominated by a collision between the Philippine oceanic plate and the Eurasian continental margin.

Present-day plate motion constraint on mantle rheology and convection [PDF]
, 1997 Large-scale mantle convection, to first order, is a system driven by interior density anomalies, modulated by variable plate thickness and extreme rheology variations at the top of the mantle.

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 291-303, March 2026.Little is known about the population divergence and gene flow of deep‐sea animals living in disjunct hydrothermal vents and cold seep habitats. Taking advantage of samples collected from multiple cruises across a huge distance of >5000 km, we revealed the differential population divergence pattern and gene flow in two congeneric species of shrimps ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Submarine mud volcanoes (SMVs) are formed by muddy sediments and breccias extruded to the seafloor from a source in the deep subseafloor and are characterized by the discharge of methane and other hydrocarbon gasses and deep-sourced fluids into the ...
