Spatial changes in inclusion band spacing as an indicator of temporal changes in slow slip and tremor recurrence intervals

Earth, Planets and Space, 2021
Slow slip and tremor (SST) downdip of the seismogenic zones may trigger megathrust earthquakes by frequently transferring stress to seismogenic zones.

Seismo‐ and Tsunami‐Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances of the 29 July 2025 M8.8 Kamchatka Earthquake Observed by CW‐HF Doppler Sounding Systems and Ionosondes in Taiwan and Japan

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Doppler frequency shifts (DFSs) recorded by continuous wave‐high frequency Doppler sounding systems and ionograms observed by five ionosondes in Taiwan and Japan are used to study three‐dimensionally seismo‐ and tsunami‐traveling ionospheric disturbances (STIDs and TTIDs) triggered by the 29 July 2025 Mw8.8 Kamchatka earthquake.

Linking 3D Long‐Term Slow‐Slip Cycle Models With Rupture Dynamics: The Nucleation of the 2014 Mw 7.3 Guerrero, Mexico Earthquake

AGU Advances
Slow slip events (SSEs) have been observed in spatial and temporal proximity to megathrust earthquakes in various subduction zones, including the 2014 Mw 7.3 Guerrero, Mexico earthquake which was preceded by a Mw 7.6 SSE.

Abrupt Suppression of Tectonic Tremors Outside the Stress Shadow of Mendocino Earthquakes

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Tectonic tremor is a long‐duration noise‐like seismic signal associated with slow fault motion at major plate boundaries. Due to their remarkable sensitivity to stress perturbations, tremors serve as invaluable probes of the mechanical state and stress conditions deep within fault zones.

Probabilistic tsunami hazard analysis of Batukaras, a tourism village in Indonesia [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Indonesia's location in the middle of tectonic plates makes it vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis, especially in the megathrust zone around the island of Sumatra and the southern part of the island of Java.

Competing Effects of Elastic Heterogeneity and Viscous Flow on Interseismic Coupling at Cascadia

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Interseismic coupling maps are important tools for estimating future earthquake hazard at subduction zones. Often interseismic coupling is estimated from surface velocities using a homogeneous elastic Earth model. However, inversions that incorporate viscoelastic mantle flow or elastic heterogeneity show that each can change the spatial ...

A geologic window into a subduction megathrust

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2007
Megathrust faults marking the subduction of oceanic plates are fundamental features of plate tectonics. In addition, these faults have significant societal relevance since friction along them can generate devastating earthquakes. One of the most important tasks in solid Earth sciences is to understand the mechanical and thermal processes that ...

Potential Bias in Inferred Megathrust Slip Rates Induced by the Neglect of Material Heterogeneity

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Accurate knowledge of the pattern of interseismic coupling on megathrusts is critical to preparing for future earthquakes and tsunamis. However, published models for a given fault zone commonly differ widely, making hazard assessment difficult.

Asthenosphere Flow Modulated by Megathrust Earthquake Cycles [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2018
Abstract Subduction megathrusts develop the largest earthquakes, often close to large population centers. Understanding the dynamics of deformation at subduction zones is therefore important to better assess seismic hazards. Here I develop consistent earthquake cycle simulations that incorporate localized and distributed deformation ...

Probabilistic Hazard Assessment of Coseismic Elastic Surface Deformation for the Leech River Valley–Devil's Mountain Fault System Using Stochastic Source Modeling

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
This study investigates the effect of incorporating the Devil's Mountain Fault (DMF) and its interaction with the Leech River Valley Fault (LRVF) on the elastic surface deformation hazard in and near the city of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Previously, the surface deformation hazard of the region has been characterized by considering the LRVF ...
