Development of Liquefaction‐Targeted Design Basis in U.S. Seismic Provisions

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Seismic design criteria for new buildings in the United States have historically focused on life safety performance objectives through minimizing the potential for structural collapse. Development of design criteria to meet this performance objective has evolved over time, leading to the current, risk‐targeted maximum considered earthquake (MCER ...

« Antifasciste, antiraciste, Cascadie toujours ! ». La culture politique de la rivalité la plus influente du soccer aux États-Unis et au Canada

Football(s)
The article traces and analyses the various dimensions of sporting rivalry between the three major cities – Portland, Seattle and Vancouver – located in Cascadia, a cross-border “bioregion” defined as much by a shared environment as by its discursive ...

Probabilistic Hazard Assessment of Coseismic Elastic Surface Deformation for the Leech River Valley–Devil's Mountain Fault System Using Stochastic Source Modeling

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
This study investigates the effect of incorporating the Devil's Mountain Fault (DMF) and its interaction with the Leech River Valley Fault (LRVF) on the elastic surface deformation hazard in and near the city of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Previously, the surface deformation hazard of the region has been characterized by considering the LRVF ...

Multi‐Scale Spatial Variations in Pacific Mantle Seismic Anisotropy: Constraints on Plate Evolution and Asthenospheric Flow

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We present array‐scale (∼500 × 500 km) anisotropic shear‐velocity models from two Pacific ocean‐bottom seismometer (OBS) arrays of the OBS Research in the Convecting Asthenosphere (ORCA) experiment: Young ORCA (∼43 Ma) and Old ORCA (∼90 Ma). Rayleigh‐wave phase velocities spanning 5–150 s are combined with Love‐wave phase velocities from 5 to ...

Evolution in Fluid Composition During Subduction

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Fluid‐rock reactions play important roles in seismicity, arc‐magma chemistries, and volatile cycling at convergent plate boundaries. In subduction environments, metamorphic reactions involving hydrous fluids facilitate metasomatic alteration and mass transport.

Dynamic Evolution of Forearc Subsidence Controlled by Slab Geometry

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Several subduction zones worldwide present an enigmatic forearc topography and strain characterized by extension at a forearc ridge near the trench and shortening within a forearc valley located between the ridge and the magmatic arc. The development of this topography has been linked to progressive slab steepening, while strain patterns ...

High‐Resolution 3‐D Lithospheric Structure of the Subducting Carnegie Ridge and the Ecuadorian Margin Imaged From Teleseismic Receiver Functions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The Ecuadorian margin is a forearc‐arc system shaped by oceanic terrane accretion and Carnegie Ridge subduction, yet the accretion mechanism and ridge subduction extent remain poorly constrained. Using teleseismic P‐wave receiver functions from dense seismic arrays, we image velocity discontinuities within the overriding plate and subducting ...

Back‐Propagating Earthquake Rupture Controlled by Fluid‐Modulated Effective Normal Stress

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Back‐propagating earthquake rupture (BPR), where slip migrates opposite to the main rupture direction, is observed in several earthquakes but its origin remains poorly understood, particularly the role of fluids. We use dynamic simulations of frictional sliding coupled with fluids to explore the mechanisms of BPR. Our simulations show that BPR

Journey Through Cascadia

, 2019
On the West Coast of North America lies the bioregion of Cascadia. Encompassing numerous watersheds, this bioregion is made up of mountains, islands, temperate rainforests, and many more landscapes inherent to its identity. Known for its natural beauty, the region has also been characterized as being environmentally focused with politically left ...

Tectonic Tremor Reveals Slow Deformation Along the Antarctic–South American Subduction Zone

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The Antarctic–South American subduction zone is among the least explored convergent margins and lacks documented large interplate earthquakes despite ongoing convergence. Here we report the discovery of tectonic tremor along this plate boundary using continuous seismic data.
