Dynamic Coupling Between Faulting, Rifting and Magmatism During 2021‐2025 Unrest on Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Interactions among faulting, earthquakes, and eruptions are fundamental to plate tectonics and hazard forecasting yet rarely observed along mid‐ocean ridges. On Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula, seismotectonic–volcanic unrest resumed after nearly 800‐year hiatus, providing an opportunity to observe these interactions during 2021–2025 activity. By

Multifractal Scaling of Thermally-Activated Rupture Processes

, 2004
We propose a ``multifractal stress activation'' model combining thermally activated rupture and long memory stress relaxation, which predicts that seismic decay rates after mainshocks follow the Omori law $\sim 1/t^p$ with exponents $p$ linearly ...

Discovery of Repeating Shallow Moonquakes in the Apollo Lunar Seismic Data

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Shallow moonquakes have been considered unique due to their large magnitudes and affinities with intraplate earthquakes. However, the small number of detections (<80 events) has prevented detailed characterization. In this study, I identified a pair of repeating shallow moonquakes by analyzing a recently updated moonquake data set.

Crustal Responses to the Destruction of Continental Lithosphere: Insights From Radial Anisotropy of the Tanlu Fault Zone, Eastern China

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Since the Mesozoic, much of the eastern China lithosphere was removed through thermo‐mechanical erosion and delamination, yet the effects on the overlying crust remain unclear. The Tanlu Fault Zone (TLFZ), the region's largest lithosphere‐scale weakness, offers a natural laboratory to assess crustal responses to lithospheric destruction.

Decoupling Seasonal Seismic Velocity Changes on Slow‐Moving Slopes in Southwest China Using Tree Ensemble Machine Learning

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Changes in seismic properties can help assess slope damage, which is influenced by external factors such as temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, air pressure, and local seismicity. However, the contributions of these factors, and how the dominant factor modulates transient and seasonal seismic velocity changes (δv/v $\delta v/v$), remain ...

Universal local versus unified global scaling laws in the statistics of seismicity

, 2004
The unified scaling law for earthquakes, proposed by Bak, Christensen, Danon and Scanlon, is shown to hold worldwide, as well as for areas as diverse as Japan, New Zealand, Spain or New Madrid.

A declustered earthquake catalog for the Iranian Plateau

Annals 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.

Interseismic, Coseismic, and Early Postseismic Slip Associated With the 2025 Mw 8.8 Kamchatka Earthquake

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Unraveling the surface deformation and fault kinematics during the seismic cycle is crucial for understanding earthquake physics. Herein, we use geodetic and seismic observations to quantify the interseismic coupling, coseismic rupture, and postseismic afterslip associated with the 2025 Mw 8.8 Kamchatka earthquake.

Multi‐Stage Shallow Rupture and Pre‐Event Shallow Deformation During the 2025 Mw 5.9 Asadabad Earthquake (Afghanistan)

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract The 31 August 2025 Mw 5.9 Asadabad earthquake in eastern Afghanistan caused severe damage despite its moderate magnitude, raising questions about rupture processes and seismic hazard in the southern Hindu Kush. Using Sentinel‐1 InSAR and teleseismic waveform modeling, we reveal a complex, multi‐stage shallow (4–5 km) rupture involving the ...

Large Earthquakes Along the Mendocino Oceanic Transform Fault Hardly Have Any Foreshocks

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Compared to continental strike‐slip faults, oceanic transform faults (OTFs) are thought to mainly slip aseismically and host significantly more foreshocks triggered by precursory aseismic slip which enhance the mainshocks' short‐term predictability. However, long‐term high‐resolution observational constraints remain limited.
