Al2O3 in Anorthositic Slabs: A New Perspective on LLSVPs and Seismic Velocity Variations

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Aluminum is a key component of crustal and mantle minerals, influencing melting and geochemical evolution within the Earth. Al2O3 exists as corundum at the surface and in upper mantle conditions, but transforms into high‐pressure phases like Rh2O3(II) at lower mantle depths, enabling stability over a wide pressure range.

The Role of Fluids in Fault Mechanics: A 16‐Year Analysis of the Irpinia Seismicity (Southern Italy)

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Fluids in the crust influence earthquake nucleation by affecting fault strength and rupture dynamics, but direct observations at seismogenic depths are rare. We study the Irpinia Fault System in Southern Italy, site of the 1980 M 6.9 earthquake, to understand how fluid overpressure, fault orientation, and regional stress control earthquake ...

Fault Kinematic Controls on the Spatio‐Temporal Proximity of the 2023 Mw 7.8‐7.7 Türkiye Earthquakes

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract The mechanism governing the spatio‐temporal proximity of the 2023 Mw 7.8‐7.7 Türkiye earthquakes remains enigmatic. Here, we used dense geodetic observations integrated with dual‐fault screw dislocation, Euler‐vector‐constrained block, and strain‐rate models to investigate the interseismic kinematics and pre‐stress state of the East Anatolian ...

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.

Partial Ruptures, Cascading Multi‐Fault Ruptures, and Aftershocks in 2D Random Fault Network

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract The Gutenberg‐Richter law for the distribution of earthquake magnitude and the Omori law for the decay of aftershocks are two universal laws in seismicity. Although numerical models have been developed to reproduce these laws, they sometimes produce many more foreshocks and fewer aftershocks than observed.
