#7. Information from PEPS

(1) Extension of submission deadline for SPEPS special collection

The submission deadline for the following SPEPS has been extended.
“10 years after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake: A milestone of solid
earth science”

https://www.springeropen.com/collections/tohoku2011
(Submission deadline: 31 August 2022)

(2) Featured Articles

We will introduce the featured articles selected by the editor-in-
chief from the papers published in the past every month.

@ Ryuji Asami et al: Reconstruction of ocean environment time series
since the late nineteenth century using sclerosponge geochemistry in
the northwestern subtropical Pacific.
https://doi.org/10.1186/s40645-021-00434-7

Hypercalcified demosponges (“sclerosponges”) grow for decades to
centuries and form a calcium carbonate skeleton. This study examined
the usefulness of the chemical composition of the sclerosponges as a
paleoenvironmental indicator. They showed that long-term time-series
data comparable with coral records could be extracted from the
sclerosponges.

@ Yusuke Yokota et al.: Crustal deformation detection capability of
the GNSS-A seafloor geodetic observation array (SGO-A), provided by
Japan Coast Guard.
https://doi.org/10.1186/s40645-021-00453-4

In this paper, using the Japan Coast Guard manned vessel (observation
frequency: 4 to 6 times/year, positioning accuracy: standard deviation
=1.5 cm), the authors evaluated the ability of the current GNSS-A
system by performing numerical simulation and statistical verification.

(3) Latest Articles
