Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.Abstract Reconstructing oroclinal orogens along the Fuegian Andes‐northern Antarctic Peninsula provides critical constraints on the pre‐opening tectonic evolution of the Drake Passage, although such efforts are limited by a lack of reliable Cretaceous paleomagnetic and geochronological data.

Vertical Land Motion and Human Exposure Across India's Coastal Regions
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.Abstract In India, over 200 million people live within 100 km of the coastline, and many reside in low‐lying areas exposed to increasing flood risks associated with sea‐level rise. However, the role of vertical land motion (VLM)—particularly land subsidence—in shaping this coastal exposure remains poorly quantified. Here we present the first assessment

P‐Wave Reverberations in the Water Column of the Chilean Subduction Trench
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract P‐waves generated by subduction earthquakes can get trapped within the submarine trench, where they reverberate and contaminate the initial seismic signals. We analyze the behavior of P‐wave reverberations for 43 earthquakes of magnitude larger than 6.0 that occurred along the Chilean margin between 1995 and 2023. We compared the energy of the

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract In this paper we document the first example‐the southern Delaware Basin‐where widespread induced triggered (as opposed to “driven”) seismicity across a large area exhibits a maximum magnitude truncation. The most likely cause of this truncation is that although the shallow faults in this area are many km in length, they are structurally ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Slow, aseismic fault slip has emerged as a significant contributor to the seismic cycle. However, whether slow and fast slip arise from similar physical processes remains unresolved, due to detection biases affecting noisy surface measurements and the analysis of the source properties of slow slip.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract On 28 March 2025, a Mw 7.7 earthquake occurred on the Sagaing Fault in Myanmar. Security constraints prevented timely field investigations on its surface rupture, hindering analysis of seismotectonics and rupture dynamics. Using high‐resolution satellite imagery, we mapped a ∼420 km surface rupture and measured 540 dextral offsets, revealing ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Myanmar's high seismic hazard is underscored by the 2025 Mw 7.7 earthquake on the Sagaing Fault, yet its seismicity patterns and underlying controls remain poorly understood. Using new seismic data from the 2nd‐phase array of the China‐Myanmar Geophysical Survey in the Myanmar Orogen, we construct a high‐resolution catalog of 1,819 local ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Earthquake stress drops are inferred to be independent of source depth, contradicting linear scaling predictions for earthquakes as frictional stick‐slip instabilities that assume increasing fault normal stress due to overburden. Here, we examine the scaling between averaged stress drops and increasing normal stress for simulated earthquake ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract We estimate the fault geometry and coseismic slip of the 2025 Myanmar earthquake using multi‐source satellite observations, revealing a nine‐segment rupture structure that transitions from eastward‐dipping in the north to westward‐dipping in the south, with peak slip of ∼6 m and negligible shallow slip deficit.

Distinguishing Single and Linked Ruptures in the Laboratory and Nature
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Earthquakes can grow either monotonically from a single, stressed patch or through linking multiple stressed regions. The distinction has implications for magnitude predictability with single ruptures requiring knowledge of the local stress state, while linked ruptures require knowing the global stress and energy distribution.
