Ridge Migration and Plate Boundary Readjustments at the Rodriguez Triple Junction
Abstract The Rodriguez Triple Junction (RTJ) marks the intersection of the Indian Ocean's three principal mid‐ocean ridges and is a type locality for Ridge‐Ridge‐Ridge triple junctions. A local seismic network was deployed for 8 months to monitor seismicity around the RTJ and the adjacent Central Indian Ridge (CIR).

Large Earthquakes Along the Mendocino Oceanic Transform Fault Hardly Have Any Foreshocks
Abstract Compared to continental strike‐slip faults, oceanic transform faults (OTFs) are thought to mainly slip aseismically and host significantly more foreshocks triggered by precursory aseismic slip which enhance the mainshocks' short‐term predictability. However, long‐term high‐resolution observational constraints remain limited.

Abstract Constructing reliable earthquake catalogs in regions with sparse station coverage and strong noise remains challenging. We evaluate the performance of a deep‐learning–based detection and location workflow (LOC‐FLOW) using the 2017 Changdao offshore earthquake swarm in eastern China.

Abstract The Blanco transform fault system (BTFS) represents an evolving transform plate boundary in the Northeast Pacific Ocean. Its seismic behavior was captured with a dense network of 54 ocean‐bottom seismometers (OBS) operated for 1 year. We created a high‐resolution earthquake catalog based on different machine‐learning onset pickers.

We study the tectonic deformation from the February 2017 shallow earthquake sequence onshore Biga Peninsula (NW Turkey, NE Aegean region). We use InSAR interferograms (Sentinel-1 satellites) to identify the seismic fault (striking N110°E) and ...

Structure of the North‐Central Chile Subduction Zone From Local Earthquake Tomography
Abstract The fluid cycle in subduction zones prescribes large parts of its structure and seismogenic behavior. Background seismicity inside the downgoing slab is linked to fluid release from dehydration reactions, whereas fluid overpressure along the plate interface can alter interplate coupling, megathrust earthquakes, and the presence or absence of ...

Abstract The Yamaguchi earthquake swarm in western Japan occurred at unusually deep depths (25–40 km), well below the seismogenic zone, and exhibited prolonged zigzag hypocenter migrations over at least ∼180 days. Seismicity initiated in the southwestern part of the swarm area, followed by systematic migration eastward, northeastward, and northwestward.

On September 28, 2018, the Mw 7.5 earthquake occurred in Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. This earthquake produced strong tremors, landslides, liquefaction and a tsunami and caused thousands of fatalities and damaged houses and infrastructure.

Abstract We re‐examine the aftershock sequence of the Mw 8.8 Maule earthquake in south‐central Chile to understand how seismicity, magnitude‐frequency distribution, and fault structure vary along the rupture zone. Using the International Maule Aftershock Deployment (IMAD) data set, we analyze 10 months of continuous data from approximately 156 ...

The Tanlu fault zone is an NNE-SSW oriented, large and deep strike-slip fault system running through eastern China. To investigate seismotectonics in and around the Tanlu fault zone, we adopt the LOC-FLOW approach to build a high-precision earthquake ...
