Outer trench slope extension to frontal wedge compression in a subducting plate
The occurrence of faulting in subducting plates is a major process that changes the mechanical properties of the subducting lithosphere and carries...

The deep thermal structure of the lithosphere in the northwestern South China Sea and its control on the shallow tectonics
The northwestern sub-basin of South China Sea (SCS) is a unique tectonic unit formed in the early spreading of the SCS. The northwestern Sub-basin...

Velocity structure in the South Yellow Sea basin based on first-arrival tomography of wide-angle seismic data and its geological implications
The South Yellow Sea basin is filled with Mesozoic-Cenozoic continental sediments overlying pre-Palaeozoic and Mesozoic-Palaeozoic marine sediments....

The Mediterranean Sea: A Laboratory to Characterize Micro-Continental Drift and Oceanic Basin Formation Processes
The sequence of processes that lead to the genesis of passive margins and their associated oceanic basins remains debated. Following the continental...

Double seismic zone and seismicity in the mantle wedge beneath the Ogasawara Islands identified by an ocean bottom seismometer observation
Around the Ogasawara Islands, only a few seismic stations in the area can be used to determine the hypocenters of regional earthquakes; thus,...

Crustal underplating and overriding across the collision-subduction transition in the northern Manila subduction zone offshore southwestern Taiwan
The northern South China Sea (SCS) plate between Taiwan and the Philippines experienced complex underplating and overriding. Ocean-bottom...

Long-term seismic network in South China Sea by floating MERMAIDs
Seismic data coverage in ocean regions is sparse, and it is highly challenging to build long-term continuous seismic networks in the oceans due to...

Locating the Source Regions of the Single and Double-Frequency Microseisms to Investigate the Source Effects on HVSR in Site Effect Analysis
Evaluating the seismic site effect by the ambient noise based horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) method is strongly affected by the spatial...

Analytic Acoustic–Elastic Coupled Equations and Their Application in Vector-Wave-Based Imaging of Ocean Bottom 4C Data
In conventional vector-wave-based elastic reverse-time migration, there are two types of artifacts: low-frequency artifacts and nonphysical...

Gas migration signatures over the volcanic cratered seamount, off the Nicobar Islands in the Andaman Sea
The submarine volcanic arc off-Nicobar is seismologically very active with numerous earthquake swarms reported after the tsunamigenic 26th December...

Linear inversion-imaging method based on joint primary reflected waves and surface-related multiples
In marine seismic exploration, especially in deep-water and hard ocean-bottom cases, free-surface multiples are strongly developed. Compared with...
