Shallow Creep in the Leaky Stress Shadow of Locked Zones of Subduction Megathrust
Abstract In some subduction zones such as Nankai, creeping of the shallow part of the megathrust in the stress shadow of deeper locked zones is detected by seafloor geodetic measurements and/or reflected by slow earthquakes (SEQs). Here we explain that shallow creep occurs in the stress shadow for two reasons: (a) prolonged afterslip and (b) a leaky ...

Abstract We present a high‐resolution local earthquake tomography model that constrains the distribution of hydration and dehydration processes within the subducting Nazca slab beneath Northern Chile. We image a distinct downdip transition from high Vp/Vs (∼1.75) over low Vp/Vs (∼1.65) to a homogeneously high Vp/Vs slab at depths of ≥ ${\ge} $85 km ...

Anomalous Opaque Clouds Revealed by Collocated MODIS and CALIOP Retrievals
Abstract This paper examines discrepancies between cloud optical thickness (COT) retrievals from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) cloud product, and cloud opacity measurements from the Cloud‐Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) lidar.

Hydraulic Control of the Foreshocks and Mainshock of the 2017 Valparaíso, Chile, Earthquake
Abstract Slow‐slip events (SSE) are a key mode of aseismic deformation and can enhance fault permeability through fracturing, enabling fluid migration from the overpressured oceanic crust to the plate interface. Whether the resulting poroelastic stress changes promote seismicity and larger megathrust events, however, remains unclear.

Self‐Affine Scaling of Earth's Islands
Abstract Earth's relief is approximately self‐affine, meaning a zoom‐in on a small region looks statistically similar to a large region upon rescaling. Fractional Brownian surfaces give an idealized self‐affine model of Earth's relief with one parameter, the Hurst exponent H $H$, characterizing the roughness of the surface.
