Estimating Magnitude Completeness in Earthquake Catalogs: A Comparative Study of Catalog‐Based Methods

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth
Abstract Without careful attention to the earthquake catalog completeness, claims of novel discoveries or forecasting skills lack credibility. Estimating the completeness magnitude ( M c ) is therefore a critical step in seismological analysis.

The Role of Tectonic Inheritance in Active Rift Seismicity and Magmatism: Constraints From 3‐D Gravity Inversion and D‐InSAR Modeling of the 2025 Fentale Swarm, Ethiopia

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract The role of inherited lithospheric structures in active rift seismicity and magma intrusion remains a key uncertainty in continental breakup dynamics. We investigate the January 2025 Northern Main Ethiopian Rift swarm using constrained 3‐D gravity inversion and D‐InSAR observations to characterize crustal architecture, seismicity, and active ...

Numerical Simulations of 3D Scattering Structures Reveal Systematic Underestimation of Marsquake Magnitudes

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Determining marsquake magnitudes is essential for assessing seismic activity on Mars, yet previous estimates neglect three‐dimensional (3D) scattering effects. The exceptionally long‐lasting coda of the largest recorded marsquake, S1222a, provides a unique opportunity to quantify how crustal heterogeneities affect waveform propagation and ...

Distinct Yet Adjacent Earthquake Sequences near the Mendocino Triple Junction: 20 December 2021 Mw 6.1 and 6.0 Petrolia, and 20 December 2022 Mw 6.4 Ferndale

open access: yesThe Seismic Record
Two earthquake sequences occurred a year apart at the Mendocino Triple Junction in northern California: first the 20 December 2021 Mw 6.1 and 6.0 Petrolia sequence, then the 20 December 2022 Mw 6.4 Ferndale sequence.

Rate‐Dependent Incompleteness of Earthquake Catalogs [PDF]

open access: yesSeismological Research Letters, 2016
Important information about the earthquake generation process can be gained from instrumental earthquake catalogs, but this requires complete recordings to avoid biased results. The local completeness magnitude Mc is known to depend on general conditions such as the seismographic network and the environmental noise, which generally limit the ...

Fault‐Controlled Plumbing System Beneath Lipari Volcanic Island Revealed by Seismic Matrix Imaging

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Lipari Island hosts an active magmatic–hydrothermal system, but its deep plumbing architecture remains poorly resolved due to strong seismic scattering. We apply passive seismic matrix imaging to public vertical‐component cross‐correlation functions from the dense 2018 Lipari nodal array, recovering relative‐reflectivity structures to ∼10 km ...

AN EARTHQUAKE CATALOG OF MID-ATLANTIC RIDGE

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Greece, 2017
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (M-AR), which runs along the centre of the Atlantic Ocean, is one of the best known divergent boundaries. Seismic studies have been a crucial factor in deciphering the structure of the oceanic crust. For their performance a necessary prerequisite is the compilation of a reliable earthquake catalog of the broader area.

Melt‐Regulated Crustal Kinematics in the Pamir, NW Tibetan Plateau: Insights From Surface‐Wave Tomography

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract The Pamir, located at the northwestern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, is undergoing E–W extension within its interior, accommodated by micro‐block motions along major fault systems; however, the mechanisms governing this modern block kinematics remain elusive.

Underestimation of Planetary Contraction Due To Obscuration by Surface Roughness: The Case of Mercury

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Estimating Mercury's radial contraction is key to understanding the planet's geodynamic evolution. Contraction has been inferred from mapped shortening structures, whose heterogeneous distribution contradicts the isotropic contraction expected from global cooling.

A declustered earthquake catalog for the Iranian Plateau

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2015
A unified catalog of earthquakes in Iran and adjacent regions (the area bounded in 22º-42ºN and 42º-66ºE) covering the period of 4th century B.C. through 2012 with Mw≥4 is provided. The catalog includes all events for which magnitude have been determined by international agencies and most reliable individual sources.
