The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2837-2854, September 2026.
ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

Distribution of Interseismic Coupling Along the Maidan Fault in Tianshan Before the 2024 Mw 7.0 Wushi Earthquake

Geophysical Research Letters
Despite historically low seismic activity on the Maidan Fault (MDF), the sudden Mw 7.0 Wushi earthquake in early 2024 underscores the urgent need to assess the seismic risk on this fault.

Kinematics and Dynamics of Normal Faults in Southern Tibet: Insights From the 2025 Mw 7.1 Dingri Earthquake

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Normal faults in southern Tibet have long suffered from limited ground‐based seismic and geodetic observations, constraining our understanding of both interseismic and coseismic processes and their interactions. The 2025 Mw 7.1 Dingri earthquake provides an opportunity to address these gaps.

Bayesian Inference of Fault Slip Heterogeneity and Overlap: Application to 2019 Ridgecrest Earthquakes and Afterslip

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Fault slip occurs in both seismic and aseismic styles with spatial variability across scales, yet non‐unique source inference limits our ability to resolve slip complexity and dynamics. Here we evaluate the effect of spatial smoothing regularization in Bayesian frameworks by comparing an unregularized (BUR) approach that samples distributed ...

Towards inferring earthquake patterns from geodetic observations of interseismic coupling

Nature Geoscience, 2010
Ultimately, seismotectonic studies seek to provide ways of assessing the timing, magnitude and spatial extent of future earthquakes. Ample observations document the spatial variability in interseismic coupling, defined as a degree of locking of a fault during the period of stress build-up between seismic events: fully or nearly locked fault patches are

Interseismic, Coseismic, and Early Postseismic Slip Associated With the 2025 Mw 8.8 Kamchatka Earthquake

Geophysical Research Letters
Unraveling the surface deformation and fault kinematics during the seismic cycle is crucial for understanding earthquake physics. Herein, we use geodetic and seismic observations to quantify the interseismic coupling, coseismic rupture, and postseismic ...

Active Tectonics of the Eastern and Southern Alps ‐ Crustal Response to Deep Processes? A Review

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Owing to the low N‐S convergence rates between Adria and Europe, crustal deformation rates in the Alps and its forelands are low. Active tectonics are, therefore, difficult to study, especially as non‐tectonic landscape forming processes can erase or modify the tectonic surface imprint. Large‐scale and dense seismological data recently offered

Interseismic Megathrust Coupling at the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth
Abstract At the Osa Peninsula in southern Costa Rica, magnitude >7 earthquakes have been generated along the Middle American trench in 1904, 1941, and 1983 following a ∼40‐year recurrence interval, suggesting a rupture may be impending. However, regional interseismic coupling remains poorly constrained, largely

Slip rate and interseismic coupling along the Moxi-Shimian segment of the Xianshuihe fault, Eastern Qinghai-Xizang Plateau

Geodesy and Geodynamics
On September 5, 2022, the Luding M6.8 earthquake occurred in the Moxi-Shimian segment of the Xianshuihe fault, coinciding with the historical ruptured zone of the 1786 Moxi earthquake.

Analysis of the coseismic slip behavior for the MW = 9.1 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake from satellite GOCE vertical gravity gradient

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Over the past decade, the three largest and most destructive earthquakes in recent history with associated tsunamis occurred: the Mw = 9.2 Sumatra-Andamam in 2004, then the Mw = 8.8 Maule in 2010, and finally the Mw = 9.1 Tohoku- Oki in 2011.
