Impact of ashes from the 2022 Tonga volcanic eruption on satellite ocean color signatures

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
A powerful eruption within the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai (HTHH) volcano (20.64°S, 175.19°W) in the Kingdom of Tonga, occurred on 15 January 2022. The volcanic blast was enormous, leading many scientists to investigate the full impact and magnitude of ...

Large‐Scale Disturbances in the Upper Thermosphere Induced by the 2022 Tonga Volcanic Eruption

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
The effects of volcanic eruptions on the ionosphere have been well studied, however, evidence for the anticipated upper atmospheric neutral variations and their exact extents of change are rarely available.

Characteristics of the deep sea tsunami excited offshore Japan due to the air wave from the 2022 Tonga eruption

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2022
A large eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai volcano in Tonga on January 15, 2022 generated air–sea coupled tsunamis observed at the ocean-bottom pressure sensor network along the Japan Trench (S-net) in Japan.

Attributing the Stratospheric Impacts From the Water‐Rich Explosive Hunga Volcanic Eruption of 2022

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract The January 2022 Hunga volcanic eruption injected an unprecedented ∼150 Tg of water vapor (H2 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$O) and ∼0.4 Tg of sulfur dioxide (SO2 ${\text{SO}}_{2}$) into the stratosphere. Observational studies confirm that this perturbation triggered significant changes in stratospheric composition and dynamics.

Communication Satellite Access in the Pacific: Current Status and Implications for Policy

open access: yesAsia &the Pacific Policy Studies, Volume 13, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This article focuses on communication satellite access in the Pacific Island countries. While satellites can provide telecommunication and internet access, very little academic literature is available about access to satellite communication technology in the Pacific region or policy responses to it.

Observation of Rayleigh-Lamb waves generated by the 2022 Hunga-Tonga volcanic eruption with the POLA detectors at Ny-Ålesund

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
The eruption of the Hunga-Tonga volcano in the South Pacific Ocean on January 15, 2022, at about 4:15 UTC, generated a violent explosion, which created atmospheric pressure disturbances in the form of Rayleigh-Lamb waves detected all over the globe. Here

Medium‐Scale Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances Induced by Secondary Gravity Waves Associated With Record‐Breaking Heavy Rainfall in August 2021 Over Kyushu, Japan

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract This study reconstructs a multistep gravity wave (GW) pathway, from the generation of primary GWs by deep convection in the troposphere to the generation of secondary GWs that drive semi‐concentric medium‐scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs) in the ionosphere, during the record‐breaking heavy rainfall over Kyushu, Japan, in August

Inception and Plate Evolution of the Lau Back‐Arc Basin From Plate Boundary Refinements

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Back‐arc basins are important settings for crustal growth that form in response to both near and far‐field tectonic influences. To better understand the processes that control back‐arc basin initiation and evolution, we present a refined model of the kinematics of opening of the Lau Basin, embedded in a global plate model.

Lessons from Tonga

open access: yes, 2019
Tonga has experienced a high burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in the past two decades. Data indicate the continuing rise of four major NCDs -cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer,and respiratory
