Layered Seismic Anisotropy and Tectonics of the Anatolian Plate

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Anatolian tectonics are associated with slab retreat in the west and gravitational potential energy and continental collision in the east, leading to westward motion of Anatolia relative to Eurasia, partially accommodated on the North and East Anatolian transform faults.

Slab Dehydration Observed Down to Lower Seismicity Plane Depths in the Northern Chile Subduction Zone

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract We present a high‐resolution local earthquake tomography model that constrains the distribution of hydration and dehydration processes within the subducting Nazca slab beneath Northern Chile. We image a distinct downdip transition from high Vp/Vs (∼1.75) over low Vp/Vs (∼1.65) to a homogeneously high Vp/Vs slab at depths of ≥ ${\ge} $85 km ...

Impact of Mantle Velocity Uncertainty on Receiver‐Function Imaging of the Transition Zone

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Seismological estimates of the 400‐km and 670‐km mantle discontinuities (d400 and d670) are crucial for understanding the thermochemical structure and dynamics of the mantle transition zone (MTZ). However, artifacts from using ray theory and uncertainties in mantle velocity structure can affect topographic mapping of these boundaries.

Seismic Attenuation Reveals Fault and Forearc Structure Across the Subduction‐Collision Transition in Southern Taiwan

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract The Southern Array for the Lithosphere and Uplift of Taiwan Experiment (SALUTE) provides a new window into the subduction‐collision transition zone in southern Taiwan, where the Eurasian Plate‐Luzon Arc convergence drives intense orogeny and crustal deformation. Using dense P‐ and S‐wave spectral amplitude data recorded by SALUTE and a quality
