Reinterpreting the Recurrence Time–Moment Relation of Global Repeating Earthquakes: A Scattered Data Cloud Bounded by Crack‐Model Physics

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Repeating earthquakes are recurrent ruptures of the same asperity along creeping faults, and their recurrence time–moment (Tr ${T}_{r}$–M0 ${M}_{0}$) scaling provides key constraints on earthquake physics and fault creep. However, previous studies have reported Tr∝M01/6 ${T}_{r}\,\propto \,{M}_{0}^{1/6}$, seemingly inconsistent with the ...

Inner forearc faults in northern Cascadia do not accommodate elastic strain driven by the megathrust seismic cycle

Seismica
We employ numerical models to explore the connection between subduction zone coupling or megathrust rupture and upper plate faults in the northern Cascadia forearc.

Geodetic Constraints on the Crustal Deformation along the Kunlun Fault and Its Tectonic Implications

Remote Sensing, 2019
This study focuses on the crustal deformation and interseismic fault coupling along the strike-slip Kunlun fault, northern Tibet, whose western segment ruptured in the 2001 Mw 7.8 Kokoxili earthquake.

Temperature Dependence of Fault Frictional Healing in Quartz Gouges at Hydrothermal Conditions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Fault healing allows the accumulation of stress along faults during interseismic periods. In this critical stage, temperature‐dependent fluid‐rock interactions within fault zones become crucial at seismogenic depth in controlling fault strength recovery. However, frictional healing at hydrothermal conditions is still underexplored.

A Plate‐Based Model for Reconciling Geodetic and Geologic Vertical Deformation Across Taiwan

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Reconciling geodetic and geologic deformation remains a fundamental challenge in tectonic studies of active orogens. Elastic rebound theory posits that present‐day deformation differs from deformation recorded over time scales longer than the earthquake cycle because locked faults store and release strain.

Inelastic deformation accrued over multiple seismic cycles: Insights from an elastic-plastic slider-and-springboard model

Seismica
We study a toy model designed to build physical insight into the problem of slow accumulation of non-recoverable strain in fault blocks over multiple earthquake cycles.

Seafloor geodetic evidence of slip deficit near the southwestern Kuril Trench

Communications Earth & Environment
Understanding near-trench interseismic deformation at subduction zones is crucial for assessing the hazards of giant earthquakes, especially trench-breaking tsunamigenic earthquakes, such as the 2011 Tohoku earthquake.

Improving resolution model of probable asperity distribution along southern Sumatra Subduction Zone using denser GPS stations

Geomatica
The southern Sumatra Subduction Zone (SSZ) is point outed as an area with seismic potential due to plate tectonic movement. To observe seismic activity in this region, Global Positioning System (GPS) networks can be used to monitor tectonic plate ...

Interseismic Coupling Along the Java‐Timor Subduction‐Collision Zone at East Indonesia

Geophysical Research Letters
The Java‐Timor subduction‐collision zone is one of the most tectonically complicated structures along the strike of the Indonesia‐Australia convergence. This complexity makes it difficult to interpret observations of interseismic deformation.

Goce derived geoid changes before the Pisagua 2014 earthquake

Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2018
The analysis of space – time surface deformation during earthquakes reveals the variable state of stress that occurs at deep crustal levels, and this information can be used to better understand the seismic cycle.
