Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The 3000 km long Izu-Bonin-Mariana (IBM) arc system is an outstanding example of a nonaccretionary intraoceanic convergent plate margin. The trench inner wall (forearc) exposes so similar lithologies found in many land ophiolites, the igneous rocks exposed in the IBM forearc represents an in situ supra-subduction zone ophiolite. Along the southern Mariana trench inner wall (forearc), we have been investigating using the DSV Shinkai 6500. The discovery includes (A) a very young volcanic region of forearc rifting unusually close to the trench axis in SSW of Guam; the Southeast Mariana Forearc Rift (SEMFR), (B) a serpentinite-hosted deep sea ecosystem near the Challenger Deep; the Shinkai Seep Field (SSF), (C) a very shallow peridotite ridge consists of fresh mantle rocks, near trench axis in west of the Challenger Deep, of which ridge may be induced by colliding Caroline Ridge.
