Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

The detection of a seismic boundary, the “Moho”, between the outermost shell of the Earth,
the Earth's crust, and the Earth's mantle by A. Mohorovičić was the consequence of …

Abstract The 2018 Hokkaido Eastern Iburi Earthquake struck the eastern Iburi region
(epicenter: 42.691° N, 142.007° E, depth: 37.0 km) of Hokkaido, Japan, at 3: 07.59 JST …

We developed a three‐step method for three‐dimensional (3‐D) S wave velocity
tomography by fitting synthetic cross spectra to the observed ones of ambient seismic noise …

Abstract The Eocene (~ 50–45 Ma) major absolute plate motion change of the Pacific plate
forming the Hawaii‐Emperor bend is thought to result from inception of Pacific plate …

Abstract The Sea of Japan back-arc system provides an exceptional opportunity to study a
virtually intact continent-ocean back-arc system in which recent tectonic inversion has …

We reconstruct crustal structure along the Lesser Antilles island arc using an inversion
approach combining constraints from petrology of magmatic crustal xenoliths and seismic …

The island of Hokkaido is a young accretionary terrane, basically built with a Jurassic
accretionary complex and Cretaceous arc in the west (NE Japan arc terrane), a Cretaceous …

Abstract Detailed 3-DP-and S-wave velocity (V p and V s) structures and P-wave anisotropy
of the crust and upper mantle under the southern Kuril arc from the Kuril–Japan trench to the …

The timing and mechanism of the tectonic transition from an active continental margin to a
trench‐arc‐basin system in NE Asia are debated. In this study, we report the pressure …
