Thermally Activated Static Friction Can Explain Earthquake Interactions

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Unlike meteorological hazards, tectonic earthquakes remain hardly predictable, reinforcing their deadly character. This relates to an out‐of‐equilibrium, intermittent dynamic associated with a strong time asymmetry, with few and non‐systematic foreshocks sometimes preceding large earthquakes, while aftershocks are ubiquitous and have been ...

Holocene Normal Faulting in the Southern Rocky Mountain Trench; Orogenic Collapse Modulated by Glacial Unloading?

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Southern Rocky Mountain Trench (SRMT) is a conspicuous valley in the eastern Canadian Cordillera. It lies above a sharp change in lithospheric strength and thickness and is occupied by a normal fault thought to have last been active in the Eocene.

Deformation and Earthquake Potential on the North America–Caribbean–Cocos Plate Boundary System in Guatemala

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract In Guatemala, the Cocos, North American, and Caribbean plates interact to create a region of high seismic risk. Previous analyses of crustal faults in the country have been overly simplified, creating discrepancies between geologic and geodetic slip rate models.

Autocorrelation‐Based Imaging of Crustal Discontinuities Including the Main Himalayan Thrust and Vp/Vs Ratio in the Jammu and Kashmir Himalaya

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Jammu and Kashmir Himalaya, located between the rupture zones of the 1905 Kangra and 2005 Kashmir earthquakes, represent a prominent “seismic gap” where understanding the subsurface structure is critical for seismic hazard assessment. This study presents new insights into the crustal structure of this region using teleseismic P‐wave coda ...

Fault Friction, Plate Rheology, and Mantle Torques From a Global Dynamic Model of Neotectonics

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Improvements in software, parallel computing, global data sets, and laboratory flow‐laws help to develop the global Earth5 thin‐shell finite‐element model of Bird et al. (2008, https://doi.org/10.1029/2007jb005460) into a benchmark study. All experiments confirm that modeled faults (other than megathrusts) have low effective friction of 0.085 ±
