Mechanical Decoupling Across the Deep Megathrust Boundary

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract We examine stress and strength across the deep subduction plate boundary at ∼60 km depth offshore northeastern Japan, near the downdip seismic limit of the megathrust. High‐frequency (2–5 Hz) moment tensor inversion of ∼2,000 M 2–3.5 earthquakes, integrated with existing catalogs, increases the number of focal mechanisms by more than a factor ...

Use of the ESI-2007 scale to evaluate the 2003 Boumerdès earthquake (North Algeria)

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2016
In this study, we applied the environmental seismic intensity (ESI-2007) scale to a major recent Algerian earthquake. The ESI-2007 scale is an effective tool to assess the seismic hazard and has been applied to onshore earthquakes.

Subsurface Deformation and Recovery From the Ridgecrest Mw 7.1 Earthquake Revealed by P‐Wave Velocity Time‐Lapse Tomography

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract We investigate co‐ and post‐seismic P‐wave velocity (Vp) changes following the July 2019 Mw 7.1 Ridgecrest strike‐slip earthquake using time‐lapse tomography from 50,345 P‐wave arrivals (2011–2024). Co‐seismically, Vp changes correspond to the volumetric strain change lobes of the earthquake, increasing in compressional zones and decreasing in

The 2 May 2025 Mw 7.4 Drake Passage Earthquake: Insights Into Tectonics at the Shackleton Fracture Zone–Chilean Trench Transition

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract On 2 May 2025, an Mw 7.4 earthquake occurred ∼120 km off the southern tip of Tierra del Fuego, at the transition of the Shackleton Fracture Zone and the Chile Trench. This event exhibits reverse‐faulting mechanisms with relatively steeply dipping planes and is the largest recorded along this complex plate boundary.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Structural features and seismotectonic implications of coseismic surface ruptures produced by the 2016 Mw 7.1 Kumamoto earthquake

open access: yes, 2017
Field investigations and analyses of satellite images and aerial photographs reveal that the 2016 Mw 7.1 (Mj 7.3) Kumamoto earthquake produced a ∼40-km surface rupture zone striking NE-SW on central Kyushu Island, Japan.

The tunnel damage effects and implications of the coseismic rupture of the Menyuan MS 6.9 Earthquake in Qinghai, China

open access: yes, 2023
On January 8, 2022, a magnitude 6.9 earthquake occurred in Menyuan County, Qinghai Province, causing severe deformation and damage to the Da Liang Tunnel of the Lanzhou–Xinjiang high-speed railway, which is the first railway tunnel project broken by ...

Fast report: the 2025 M6.4 Dapu earthquake: preliminary field observation and surface deformation analysis

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences
The 2025 M6.4 Dapu earthquake offers a crucial opportunity to investigate coseismic deformation and fault behavior in southwestern Taiwan. Despite the absence of surface rupture, remote sensing and geodetic analyses detected significant ground ...

Constraining Fault Kinematics and India‐Tarim Convergence Partitioning in Southwestern Tibet With Geodetic Block Modeling

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract How the convergent strain between the India Plate and the Tarim basin is partitioned by active faults and off‐fault deformation in southwestern Tibet is poorly understood due to limited knowledge of strain localisation and fault kinematics. In this study, we derive high‐resolution velocity fields for the southwestern Tibetan Plateau using both

Surface-Rupturing Historical Earthquakes in Australia and Their Environmental Effects: New Insights from Re-Analyses of Observational Data

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
We digitize surface rupture maps and compile observational data from 67 publications on ten of eleven historical, surface-rupturing earthquakes in Australia in order to analyze the prevailing characteristics of surface ruptures and other environmental ...
