Hunga‐Tonga Volcano Plumbing System Inferred From Virtual Seismometer Approach

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract We present a surface wave tomography application based on event‐pair interferometry to investigate local (∼100 km) mid‐ocean crustal structures, with a particular focus on imaging a potential crustal solidified intrusive complex in a region lacking 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 ...

Asperity‐Driven Cascading Rupture of a Mw 1.6 Induced Microearthquake

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Studies of small earthquake (M < 2) rupture processes traditionally rely on simplified models that assume symmetric slip or point sources. Using an exceptionally dense seismic network and empirical Green's function (EGF) analysis, we investigate the complex rupture of a Mw 1.6 microearthquake induced by hydraulic fracturing.

Characteristics of Seismic Energy Rate Functions of Shallow Tremors

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract We investigated the energy rate functions of shallow tremors southeast of the Kii Peninsula in the Nankai subduction zone. Unimodal functions (triangle or bell‐shaped) explain the characteristics of small (<104 J) shallow tremors. As the seismic radiated energy increases, the energy rate functions become more complex and are better ...

Downdip Variations in Megathrust Seismogenic Behavior in the Japan Trench Subduction Zone Affected by Mantle Wedge Serpentinite

Geophysical Research Letters
It is important to seek geological context for the geophysically observed downdip segmentation of seismogenic behavior of subduction megathrusts. Here we focus on how mantle wedge serpentinite may affect megathrust seismogenesis at Japan Trench—an end ...

Rupture Velocity Acceleration and Slip Partitioning Along an Oceanic Transform Fault: The 2025 Mw 7.6 Cayman Trough Earthquake

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
On 8 February 2025, an Mw 7.6 strike-slip earthquake ruptured the Swan Islands Transform Fault in the northern Caribbean near its junction with the Mid-Cayman Spreading Center, providing an important offshore case for investigating rupture dynamics along

Macroelement modeling of shallow foundations

, 2008
The paper presents a new macroelement model for shallow foundations. The model is defined through a non-linear constitutive law written in terms of some generalized force and displacement parameters.

Seismic Attenuation Reveals Fault and Forearc Structure Across the Subduction‐Collision Transition in Southern Taiwan

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract The Southern Array for the Lithosphere and Uplift of Taiwan Experiment (SALUTE) provides a new window into the subduction‐collision transition zone in southern Taiwan, where the Eurasian Plate‐Luzon Arc convergence drives intense orogeny and crustal deformation. Using dense P‐ and S‐wave spectral amplitude data recorded by SALUTE and a quality

Earthquake rupture velocity and stress drop interaction in the Campi Flegrei volcanic caldera

Communications Earth & Environment
During an earthquake rupture, both dynamic and static stress drop play a key role in controlling how much energy is radiated as seismic waves, how large is the fault slip, and how quickly the rupture spreads out of the nucleation zone.

Detecting Thunderstorm‐Related High‐Energy Phenomena in Weak Signals

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Gamma‐ray glows (GRGs) are high‐energy events associated with thunderstorms, characterized by an enhancement of the high‐energy background radiation lasting from a few seconds to several minutes. They are typically detected near their sources by balloons, aircraft, mountain‐based observatories, or at sea level in regions where thunderstorms ...
