Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract California, located along the transform boundary between the Pacific and North American plates, hosts a complex fault system, a long history of damaging earthquakes, and frequent small earthquakes. While earthquakes arise from the buildup and release of elastic stress, detailed knowledge of principal stress orientations, absolute stress ...

Crustal and Upper Mantle Structure Beneath the Corinth Rift Using Receiver Function Analysis
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract The Gulf of Corinth is one of the fastest‐extending continental rifts in Europe, yet the link between present‐day strain, inherited crustal structure, and lithospheric dynamics remains debated. We investigate crustal thickness and Vp/Vs variations using receiver functions from 31 seismic stations.

Fault Volume Digital Twin to Reproduce the Full Slip Spectrum, Scaling, and Statistical Laws
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Seismological and geodetic observations of fault zones reveal diverse slip dynamics, scaling, and statistical laws. Existing mechanisms explain some but not all of these behaviors. We show that incorporating an off‐fault damage zone—characterized by distributed fractures surrounding a main fault—can reproduce many key features observed in ...

Influence of Temperature on Seismic Moment as a Diagnostic for Crustal Permeability Creation
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Understanding what controls permeability is important in modulating crustal processes and the recovery of fuels and energy from the subsurface. Permeability may be created by the reactivation of fractures creating connected flow pathways that result in microearthquakes (MEQs).

Geodetic Resolution of the Interplay Between Earthquakes and Slow Slip in the Hikurangi Margin
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Interactions between slow slip and earthquakes remain poorly understood. We examine such an interaction in the central Hikurangi subduction zone where several moderate (Mw 4–5+) earthquakes occurred during a deep, 2‐year M7 slow slip event that started in 2021.

Autocorrelation Seismic Imaging of Northern Taiwan Using Ambient Noise Data
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Over the past few million years, northern Taiwan records a tectonic history of subduction to arc–continent collision followed by post‐collisional collapse. This evolution motivates constraints on crustal structure, including crustal layering and thickness.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract The Iceland Plume, a hot upwelling from the Earth's deep mantle, is thought to have caused high mantle temperatures beneath Iceland and its surroundings resulting in voluminous volcanism, from the North Atlantic Igneous Province at 60 Ma to the present.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Landscapes formed by glacial erosion have previously been classified based on qualitative interpretation of geomorphic evidence, using aerial photography and field studies. In the current era of high‐resolution elevation data, limited attempts have been made to improve these classifications using quantitative measurements of landscape form (i ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract This study examined the spatiotemporal variability in geotechnical properties of beach cusp sediments on a sandy beach and tested if such variability can be used for cusp monitoring from satellite imagery. Specifically, sediment properties (including moisture content (w), relative density (Dr), sediment strength (QSBC) and friction angle (ϕ ...

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Southern Italy and eastern Sicily have been the site of several destructive historical earthquakes. Here at the junction between the western edge of the Calabrian subduction zone and the Malta Escarpment several strike‐slip faults have been mapped, which may be the surface expression of the lateral slab tear fault and are candidate sources for
