The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan
ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

Viruses in the sediments around the trenches harbor diverse survival mechanisms
Deep‐sea trenches are the deepest and most isolated environments in the global ocean but the diversity and adaptation of the viral communities remain poorly characterized. In this study, 5563 viral operational taxonomic units (vOTUs) were identified from sediments of the Yap Trench and Western Caroline Basin.

Abstract Temperature variation at fine scales of minutes to hours and ~ 1–100 m is ubiquitous in marine ecosystems and often exceeds variability at larger scales. However, we know little of how well temperatures at one location or depth can serve as proxies to represent other locations, which is important in predicting thermal patterns relevant to ...

Abstract Sediments in productive coastal regions are hotspots of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) production through microbial sulfate reduction. Under anoxic seafloor conditions, H2S can escape the sediment and accumulate in bottom waters, where elevated concentrations render the benthic environment toxic, posing ecological and economic risks.
