Three Decades of Glacial Changes on the Western Antarctic Peninsula Revealed by Historical Aerial and High‐Resolution Satellite Imagery

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The Antarctic Peninsula has been climate‐sensitive since the mid‐20th century, but long‐term glacier mass balance data are scarce. This study uses historical aerial and high‐resolution satellite imagery to estimate mass changes on the western Antarctic Peninsula (66°S $66{}^{\circ}\mathrm{S}$–68°S $68{}^{\circ}\mathrm{S}$) from 1989 to 2020 ...

Back‐Propagating Earthquake Rupture Controlled by Fluid‐Modulated Effective Normal Stress

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Back‐propagating earthquake rupture (BPR), where slip migrates opposite to the main rupture direction, is observed in several earthquakes but its origin remains poorly understood, particularly the role of fluids. We use dynamic simulations of frictional sliding coupled with fluids to explore the mechanisms of BPR. Our simulations show that BPR

Fault Geometrical Control on Fault Slip: Experimental Validation of Theoretical Models

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Slip distribution along tectonic faults is recognized as highly heterogeneous across all spatial scales and is linked to various aspects of the earthquake cycle, such as aftershock density and stress‐drop variability. A key factor often considered to control slip heterogeneity is the fault geometry, which is typically nonplanar at various ...

Mass Loss From Thwaites Glacier Continues Even Without Ocean Melting

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Pine Island and Thwaites glaciers dominate Antarctica's sea‐level contribution. However, it remains unclear whether their ice loss is driven by anomalously warm present‐day ocean conditions, perhaps linked to anthropogenic climate change, or are an ongoing response to historical natural climate anomalies.

Enhanced Tidal Mixing Strengthened and Stabilized the AMOC During the Bølling–Allerød

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Proxy records indicate a robust Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) during the Bølling–Allerød (BA) interstadial, despite substantial meltwater discharge. Using ocean circulation simulations, we demonstrate that enhanced tidal mixing, sustained by lower‐than‐modern sea levels, significantly strengthens the BA AMOC and increases ...
