Building a Continental‐Scale Geodetic Network: The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO)
Abstract The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) transformed the use of geodesy in North America to study crustal deformation and plate boundary processes by establishing a continental‐scale, standardized, open‐access geodetic network. Built and operated by UNAVCO between 2003 and 2018 as part of the National Science Foundation (NSF)‐funded EarthScope ...

Science Needs for a Terrestrial Biosphere Tipping Point Early Warning System
Abstract Tipping points in the Earth system have the potential to cause major detrimental impacts to the biosphere and societies. Their inherent nonlinearity implies that even relatively small additional increases in external forcing might result in disproportionately large adjustments to components of the Earth system.

Tectonic Re‐Organization and Onset of South Caspian Escape Tectonics at 1.8–2.4 Ma
We show that the presently active tectonics of the South Caspian began relatively recently, likely in the range 1.8–2.4 Myr and replacing an older tectonic configuration ending in the Miocene at ~6 Ma. The various short‐lived stages in the destruction of the South Caspian have potential for insight into the late stages of basin closure and the ...

Internal Structure, Kinematics, and Prehistory of Frozen Debris Lobe‐A (FDL‐A), Brooks Range, Alaska
ABSTRACT Frozen Debris Lobe‐A (FDL‐A)—one of hundreds of FDLs in the Brooks Range of northern Alaska—is a slow‐moving landslide in permafrost that has been the subject of research since 2008 due to its close proximity to the Dalton Highway. Here, we synthesize more than a decade's worth of climate and surface measurements of monitored FDLs, and the ...

Pre-2014 mudslides at Oso revealed by InSAR and multi-source DEM analysis
The March 22, 2014 Oso mudslide at Washington was an extreme event costing nearly 40 deaths and damaging civilian properties. Historic record indicates that there have been serial events in decades.

Multi-Sensor InSAR Analysis of Progressive Land Subsidence over the Coastal City of Urayasu, Japan
In earthquake-prone areas, identifying patterns of ground deformation is important before they become latent risk factors. As one of the severely damaged areas due to the 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan, Urayasu City in Chiba Prefecture has been ...

Abstract Imaging magma storage beneath active calderas requires resolving crustal structure at scales comparable to those of individual reservoirs. To identify potential reservoirs beneath Kı̄lauea, Hawai'i, we conducted a hybrid seismic experiment at its summit for 37 days in 2023 that combined more than 1,800 three‐component nodal seismometers with ...

Abstract Understanding the coastal zone of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), where it interacts with the Southern Ocean and warmer air masses, is crucial for predicting Antarctica's influence on the global climate and sea level. This region has multiple tipping mechanisms that could trigger large, rapid, and potentially irreversible changes in the AIS ...
