Present‐Day Kinematics of Continental Greece and Balkans Revealed by Sentinel‐1 InSAR Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Balkan Peninsula hosts the highest seismic activity in Europe, marked by numerous Mw6+ earthquakes in diverse tectonic settings. Assessing tectonic surface deformation is crucial to understand the forces controlling kinematics and, ultimately, constraining geodynamic models. However, because measuring slow velocity rates (a few mm/yr) with

A Persistent Scatterer Interferometry-Based Parametric Framework for Characterizing Pre-, Co-, and Post-Seismic Surface Deformation: Application to the 2025 Dingri Earthquake (Southern Tibet)

Remote Sensing
Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) provides dense and temporally continuous measurements of ground deformation, offering a robust framework for investigating, among other phenomena, earthquake-related surface deformation.

Thermal and Structural Signatures Associated With Subducted Seamounts in Hyuga‐nada and Off Cape Muroto, Southwest Japan

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract We present heat flow estimates beneath the forearc slopes off Hyuga‐nada and Cape Muroto in the Nankai Trough, where the Philippine Sea plate subducts beneath the southwestern Japan. Using seismic reflection data, we identified Bottom Simulating Reflectors and derived heat flow ranging from 20 to >140 mW/m2.

The Spatiotemporal Evolution of Creep on the Southern San Andreas Fault Between 2015–2021

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Southern San Andreas fault (SSAF) in the Coachella Valley experiences shallow creep and slow slip events (SSE), which re‐distribute stresses in the seismogenic zone and affect the potential of future earthquakes. Although average creep rates are relatively well‐constrained, untangling the details of spatiotemporal variation in creep along ...

Coseismic Rupture and Postseismic Afterslip of the 2020 Nima Mw 6.4 Earthquake

Remote Sensing
On 22 July 2020, an Mw 6.4 earthquake occurred in Nima County in the Qiangtang Terrane of the central Tibetan Plateau. This event, caused by normal faulting, remains controversial in terms of its rupture process and causative fault due to the complex ...

Interseismic Strain Accumulation and Partitioning in Hispaniola From GNSS and InSAR

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract We combine GNSS and InSAR observations to constrain the spatial distribution of strain across the northeastern Caribbean plate boundary, focusing on Hispaniola, to investigate strain partitioning and fault slip rates in an actively deforming tectonic setting with significant seismic hazard.

Cascadia Slow Earthquake Behaviors Modulated by Tectonic and Environmental Forcings

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Slow earthquakes, including episodic tremor and slip (ETS), are highly sensitive to small stress perturbations, yet their links to tectonic and non‐tectonic forcings remain unclear. Previous studies suggest that annual hydrological cycle dominates the tremor seasonal behavior in northern Cascadia.

Coseismic and postseismic deformation associated with the 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikoura earthquake, New Zealand: fault movement investigation and seismic hazard analysis

Earth, Planets and Space, 2018
The 2016 moment magnitude (Mw) 7.8 Kaikoura earthquake demonstrated that multiple fault segments can undergo rupture during a single seismic event. Here, we employ Global Positioning System (GPS) observations and geodetic modeling methods to create ...

Abrupt Suppression of Tectonic Tremors Outside the Stress Shadow of Mendocino Earthquakes

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Tectonic tremor is a long‐duration noise‐like seismic signal associated with slow fault motion at major plate boundaries. Due to their remarkable sensitivity to stress perturbations, tremors serve as invaluable probes of the mechanical state and stress conditions deep within fault zones.

Coseismic Deformation Obtained by Various Technical Methods and Its Constraint Ability to Slip Models of Maduo Earthquake

Remote Sensing
The coseismic deformation field on both sides of the fault, especially the distribution and change characteristics of near-field deformation, not only provides important constraints for the fine inversion of the slip distribution model but also serves as
