On the Construction of Moho Reflected Shear Wave Phases From Ambient Noise
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Shear waves reflected from the Moho (SmS) are frequently identified in ambient noise cross‐correlation functions. Despite their consistent appearance across various arrays and studies, the physical origin and generation mechanisms of these SmS phases remain poorly understood.

A Novel Iterative Stable Algorithm for Global Moho Modeling in the Spherical Harmonic Domain
Earth and Space ScienceThe Mohorovičić discontinuity (Moho) marks the boundary between Earth's crust and the underlying mantle, serving as a critical interface for understanding Earth's structure, composition, and geodynamic processes.

Receiver function study of the Hellenic subduction zone: imaging crustal thickness variations and the oceanic Moho of the descending African lithosphere [PDF]
, 2017 We use data from recently installed broad-band seismographs on the islands of Crete, Gavdos, Santorini, Naxos and Samos in the Hellenic subduction zone to construct receiver function images of the crust and upper mantle from south of Crete into the ...

Subparallel thrust and normal faulting in Albania and the roles of gravitational potential energy and rheology contrasts in mountain belts [PDF]
, 2009 The active tectonics of Albania and surrounding regions, on the eastern margin of the Adriatic Sea, is characterized by subparallel thrust and normal faulting which, we suggest, is likely to be related to gravitational potential energy contrasts between ...

Late Triassic Hydroclimatic Changes in Central China Linked to Evolving Mountain Topography
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract During the Late Triassic, tropical Pangea drifted northward into subtropical latitudes and became progressively drier. In contrast, South China, despite experiencing a similar latitudinal shift, transitioned from an arid to humid climate. Based on the sedimentary record of the Zigui Basin, this study constrains the arid to humid climatic shift

Australia's Moho: A test of the usefulness of gravity modelling for the determination of Moho depth
Tectonophysics, 2013 Abstract In general, seismic methods provide a reliable way to image the crust–mantle interface, which is marked by a rapid increase in seismic velocity (the Moho). However, the coverage provided by seismic networks is necessarily limited due to access difficulties, and the cost and labour involved in collecting data.

Migration of Multimodal Deep Crustal Earthquake Swarm Beneath the Abu Volcano Group, Japan
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Earthquakes in the lower crust, where high pressures and temperatures favor ductile deformation, are rare but occasionally occur beneath active volcanic centers, providing insights into deep magmatic processes. We analyze a deep crustal earthquake swarm (February–August 2025) of over 5,000 events beneath the Abu Volcano Group, Japan.

Probing layered arc crust in the Lesser Antilles using receiver functions [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Oceanic arcs can provide insight into the processes of crustal growth and crustal structure. In this work, changes in crustal thickness and composition along the Lesser Antilles Arc (LAA) are analysed at 10 islands using receiver function (RF) inversions
