Potential Bias in Inferred Megathrust Slip Rates Induced by the Neglect of Material Heterogeneity
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.Abstract Accurate knowledge of the pattern of interseismic coupling on megathrusts is critical to preparing for future earthquakes and tsunamis. However, published models for a given fault zone commonly differ widely, making hazard assessment difficult.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.Abstract How crustal deformation responds to complex mantle flow in continental back‐arc settings remains poorly constrained. Here, we develop a Bayesian working‐likelihood approach to estimate crust‐averaged azimuthal anisotropy from P‐wave receiver functions. The method separates crust‐averaged velocity anisotropy from dip‐related apparent anisotropy

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.Abstract Whether surface and deeper water storage trends move in the same direction underpins assessments of freshwater availability. Theory predicts vertical coherence, yet it is untested globally and questioned under climate extremes and human management. Using depth‐sensitive satellite observations spanning surface soil moisture (SSM) (Soil Moisture

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.Abstract Low‐level clouds over the Southern Ocean (SO) exert a strong influence on surface radiation, yet their representation in reanalyses and climate models remains uncertain. We evaluated cloud properties and surface radiative fluxes from ERA5, MERRA‐2, and the CAM‐ATRAS model using observations obtained over the SO by Japan's R/V Shirase during ...

Groundwater Variability Is Strongly Linked to Soil Temperature Across Global Aquifers
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.Abstract Groundwater plays a critical role in land‐atmosphere interactions by regulating soil moisture and surface energy fluxes, yet its contribution to land‐surface processes and heat extremes remains poorly quantified globally. Here, we combine observation‐based aquifer records with gridded groundwater table depth (GWD) model outputs (2000–2015) to ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.Abstract As an airless body, the lunar surface is charged as a result of balancing electric currents into and away from the surface. Lunar surface charging is important for both scientific and human‐exploration purposes. The nightside surface charging has been well characterized by previous studies, but less so for the dayside.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.Abstract Standard detection and attribution of volcanic forcing targets spatial temperature anomalies. We show that the covariance structure of climate variability carries an independent volcanic fingerprint. Applying tangent‐space regression on the symmetric positive definite manifold SPD(8) to 40 years of eight teleconnection indices, we detect ...

Equivalent Subsurface Thermal Characteristics for Heterogeneous Surfaces
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.Abstract Land‐surface and atmospheric models often represent subgrid‐scale variability using a single set of effective properties. Estimating these equivalent properties is critical for predicting land‐atmosphere exchanges accurately, but challenging when materials with distinct radiative and thermal characteristics coexist, particularly in urban ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.Abstract As large wildfires become more frequent and severe in North America due to heightened fuel aridity and fire weather conditions driven by anthropogenic climate change, wildfire smoke has an increasingly important influence on air quality. Transported smoke can impact urban boundary layer ozone (O3) directly, via the entrainment of O3 formed in ...

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.Erosion across the landscape is described at first order by a limited number (nine) of homogenous geomorphological and lithological domains. Using a dense set of basin wide denudation rates, it is possible to retrieve the contribution of each litho‐morpho‐domains as a function of their respective surface.
