Geological geophysical and seismological investigations for earthquake hazard estimation in western Crete

, 2009
This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University. The purpose of the thesis is the determination of potentially seismic active sources and of the dynamic response evaluation of surface and subsurface structure at sites where the geometric and dynamic properties of the ground can strongly amplify seismic ...

Magma Storage Below Sabancaya Volcano (Southern Peru) Imaged by Broadband Magnetotellurics

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Sabancaya volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in the Central Andes. Its ongoing eruptive process is accompanied by large‐scale deformation, with activation of the Huambo‐Cabanaconde fault system, marked by intense seismicity over an area of about 50 × 30 km2 ${\mathrm{k}\mathrm{m}}^{2}$.

Study of the earthquakes source parameters, site response, and path attenuation using P and S-waves spectral inversion, Aswan region, south Egypt

Open Geosciences
Aswan broadband seismic network with highly sensitive sensors and good station coverage gave the opportunity to study the seismicity distribution, focal depth, the fault plane solution, the attenuation of seismic wave, the station sites response, and the

From Collision to Subduction: Thermal‐Kinematic Inversions Constrain Plate Boundary Structure and Dip‐Slip Activity in Southwestern New Zealand

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Constraints on three‐dimensional fault system geometry and kinematics are required to understand both long‐term tectonics and contemporary seismic hazard. In many cases, these parameters must be inferred from a combination of different data or analyses.

Mantle Transition Zone Topography in New Zealand From Teleseismic P $P$‐Wave Receiver Functions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The geology of New Zealand has been shaped by tectonic plate interactions driven by mantle convection over the past 60 million years, but the effects of these interactions on the transition to the lower mantle are not yet well understood. We analyze 10 years of teleseismic P $P$‐wave receiver functions using common conversion point stacking to

Numerical Modeling of Purely Active (Plume‐Produced) Continental Rifting and Break‐Up

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract In contrast to the traditional mechanism of passive continental rifting (driven by far‐field tectonic forces), the active rifting‐to‐break‐up processes (caused by rising mantle plumes) are still poorly understood. However, most episodes of fragmentation of the last supercontinent Pangea were relatively shortly preceded (within ∼10 Myr) by the ...

Large‐Scale Flow Toward Low‐Velocity Anomalies Reconciles Seismic and Geodynamic Constraints in the Deepest Mantle Beneath Alaska

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Deep mantle downwellings are typically located away from the two Large Low‐Velocity Provinces (LLVPs) in Earth's mantle. Geodynamic models based on global seismic tomography generally predict that convective flow at the core‐mantle boundary spreads laterally away from downwelling regions and toward LLVPs.

The use of acoustic emissions technique in the monitoring of fracturing in concrete using soundless chemical demolition agent

Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2019
Soundless chemical demolition agents (SCDAs) have been used during the last decades in the demolition of boulders and concrete structures as well as in open-surface and sub-surface rock excavation, as an alternative to the use of explosives posing safety

The Role of Basal Roughness and Assemblage Grain‐Size Distribution in Shaping Granular Rheology and Basal‐Force Signals

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract We present idealized 3‐D discrete element simulations exploring how varying boundary roughness and grain‐size distribution affect bulk granular‐rheology and basal‐force distributions. Boundary roughness has a direct control on the internal static friction coefficient.

Increased Glacier Melt Across Millennia to Hours Enhances Erosion and Sediment Export Processes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Glacial erosion and sediment evacuation are key in shaping polar and mountain landscapes and influencing downstream ecological and social systems. The glacier dynamics and hydrology responsible for these processes are closely linked to hydrological and climatic (hydro‐climatic) conditions.
