Climatic, lithologic and topographic control on alpine rock fracturing and talus evolution

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
Investigating Holocene rockwall–talus systems in an Alpine valley revealed that lithologic and topographic conditions in concert with climatic‐driven stresses and time since deglaciation result in rockwall fracture patterns that control rockfall size, erosion rates and the characteristics and evolution of talus.

Analytical Modeling of Heat Transfer and Deformation Around a Circular Cavity in Elastic Ground

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 8, Page 3624-3651, 10 June 2026.
ABSTRACT The subsurface is increasingly exploited to host energy, utilities, and infrastructure systems that interact with surrounding soils and rocks through their thermal and functional operation. Prominent examples are provided by energy geostructures, district heating networks, buried power cables, steam and water pipes, and underground nuclear ...

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

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.

Metamorphic Dehydration, Fluid Pressure, and the Frictional‐Viscous Transition Along Subduction Megathrusts: Case Study in Cascadia and Implications for Slow Earthquakes

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Relative plate motion in subduction zones transitions from frictional slip to viscous flow with increasing depth and temperature. The frictional‐viscous transition can control the depth extent of megathrust earthquakes and episodic tremor and slip (ETS).

Aerial and Space‐Borne Seismology on Venus: Viability and Design Implications for Future Missions

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Venus' evolution remains a mystery because of the lack of in situ geophysical data to constrain its interior structure. Recently‐selected planetary missions VERITAS (NASA), DAVINCI+ (NASA), and EnVision (ESA) will investigate the planet's interior, surface, and atmospheric chemistry.

Integrating Olivine Diffusion Chronometry With Monitoring Data to Decipher the Magma Dynamics at the Submarine Fani Maoré Volcano

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Monitoring data are critical for understanding volcanic unrest and eruption, but they often lack the ability to constrain the pre‐eruptive magma processes. As such, an increasing number of studies couple monitoring data with petrological tools to obtain insights into the causes and durations of magmatic processes. The 2018–2020 eruption of the

The Seismic Signature of the Atlantis Massif Oceanic Detachment Fault Determined From Crystallographic Preferred Orientation and Microstructure

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract At slow‐spreading mid‐ocean ridges large scale detachment faults partly accommodate the spreading process. The mafic and ultramafic rocks at the ridges are infiltrated by water and change their mineralogy. Subsequently or contemporaneously to these reactions, detachment faulting takes place.
