Inversion by Intrusion: Magma‐Driven Shortening in the Turkana Rift (East Africa)

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Late Pliocene to Pleistocene inversion in the Turkana Rift, observed on seismic reflection data and in outcrop, presents a tectonic paradox by indicating local shortening in an overall extensional setting. Previous studies attributed this inversion either to the reactivation of obliquely oriented structural weaknesses or to reorientation of ...

Massive Rocky Planets May Suppress Deep Melting

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Melting properties of silicates are critical to understanding the thermal evolution of rocky planetary interiors. In the deep mantles of massive rocky planets, post‐post‐spinel Mg2SiO4 ${\text{Mg}}_{2}{\text{SiO}}_{4}$ is potentially one of the most abundant mineral phases, yet its melting behavior remains unconstrained. Here, we determine the

Quantum Simulation of Variable-Speed Multidimensional Wave Equations via Clifford-Assisted Pauli Decomposition

Quantum Reports
The simulation of multidimensional wave propagation with variable material parameters is a computationally intensive task, with applications from seismology to electromagnetics. While quantum computers offer a promising path forward, their algorithms are

Calculation of the local rupture speed of dynamically propagating earthquakes

Annals of Geophysics, 2014
The velocity at which a propagating earthquake advances on the fault surface is of pivotal importance in the contest of the source dynamics and in the modeling of the ground motions generation.

A Physics‐Based Frequency‐Temperature Seismic Anelastic Attenuation Model for Planetary Ice Shells

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Intrinsic attenuation in planetary ices remains poorly constrained at seismic frequencies and low temperatures, limiting quantitative predictions of wave propagation in icy moons. Existing models typically rely on constant‐Q, or power‐law formulations that lack microphysical grounding and fail to capture the strong temperature sensitivity of ...

Seismic Risk of Critical Transport Systems: Sensitivity Analysis of the Campania Railway Network to Bradyseism's Features

Risk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of epistemic uncertainties on the seismic risk of a critical transport system, the Campania railway network, during the ongoing bradyseismic unrest at Campi Flegrei, south of Italy. Seismic risk is quantified as the length of the railway requiring post‐event inspection, an operational proxy for service disruption.

High‐Resolution Imaging of a Distant M6 Intermediate‐Depth Earthquake Using Ocean‐Bottom DAS and Seismic Network

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) provides dense, wide‐aperture observations potentially ideal for imaging earthquake rupture processes. By combining data from a ∼450 km‐long seafloor DAS array offshore Chile and a conventional seismic network, we image an Mw 6.0 intermediate‐depth earthquake ∼400 km away in Argentina, achieving km‐scale ...

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

Prototyping the Seismogenic Fault Injection Test (SFIT)

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The treatment of induced seismicity risk would benefit from a small, standardized injection test that probes the seismic response to fluid injection—to optimally improve earthquake forecasts before a larger injection commences. To accomplish this goal, we propose a “model differencing” framework: this framework optimizes injection protocols by

Double Trouble: Two Active Magma Reservoirs Identified at Masaya Volcano, Nicaragua, Using Satellite Geodesy

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract We analyze and model ground deformation at Masaya volcano, Nicaragua, using Sentinel‐1 Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) time series spanning January 2018–February 2024. Time series show the Masaya Central Reservoir (MCR) experienced ∼3 cm of line of sight (LOS) displacement away from the satellite north of the Santiago crater ...
