Forecasting Cascading and Compounding Flood Risk From Earthquake‐Induced Ground Deformation

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Large earthquakes can disrupt river systems and produce abrupt, unforeseen changes in flood risk. Forward modelling of earthquake‐related surface deformation and its influence on inundation extent, depth, and frequency enables pre‐emptive assessment of exposure to this compound hazard.

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

Geophysical Research Letters
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.

Three‐Dimensional Resistivity Imaging Constrains Crustal Heterogeneity Beneath the 2010 Yushu Ms 7.1 Earthquake Rupture

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 21, 16 November 2026.
Abstract The 2010 Yushu (eastern Tibetan Plateau) Ms 7.1 strike‐slip earthquake ruptured unilaterally toward the southeast but left a hypocentral segment without mapped surface rupture, followed by a two‐stage reorganization of aftershocks. We present a 3‐D electrical resistivity model from 70 quality‐controlled magnetotelluric sites acquired shortly ...

Exploring the effects of sub-surface fault geometry on rupture propagation and long-term fault behavior

Geometric complexity plays an important role for a fault’s seismotectonic behavior as it affects the initiation, propagation and termination of an earthquake and influences stress-slip relationships, fault-segment size, and the probability of multi ...

Moment Tensor Inversion Reveals Diverse Mechanisms for Icequakes in Ross Ice Shelf Rift WR4

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 21, 16 November 2026.
Abstract Prior studies have cataloged thousands of icequakes at Ross Ice Shelf (RIS) Western Rift 4 (WR4) and linked them to tidal cycles, thermal stress, and temperature fluctuations. Building on this foundation, we apply a full moment tensor inversion using Green's functions for a layered firn, ice, water and sediment model.

Sustainable and Seismically Resilient Confined Masonry: Global Progress in Research and Design Practice

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Modern confined masonry (CM) construction consists of masonry walls confined by reinforced concrete (RC) tie‐columns and tie‐beams. When built correctly, CM buildings have shown good performance in earthquake's shaking. Even though CM construction has been practised for almost a century in some Latin American countries, its use and standardisation are ...

Influence of Site Amplification Approaches in PSRA: Insights From Five Different Cities

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Regional and national seismic hazard models used in probabilistic seismic risk analysis often rely on generalized proxy‐based site terms to account for ground shaking amplification. This can result in coarse representations of site response, which can introduce bias or additional uncertainty in the associated risk results.
