... ABSTRACT Significant seafloor massive sulphides, including copper, zinc, and silver, gold and so on, are distributed in the EEZ of Japan, including substantial deposits in the Okinawa Trough and Izu-Bonin back-arc basin. In 2008, the Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC...

... ABSTRACT In July 2018, a disastrous storm along Osaka Bay, Japan, was caused by the Typhoon Jebi. The maximum height of observed sea level including storm surge was 3.29 m at Osaka. This value exceeded the highest record at Osaka caused Typhoon Nancy in 1961, whereas the maximum instantaneous...
