The 2025 Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model Update: Ground Motion Model Selection and Comparison

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
We evaluate, select, and describe the ground‐motion models (GMMs) used in the 2025 update of the U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (PRVI). We identify the most appropriate models that align with GMM selection criteria for use in the PRVI region to improve the accuracy of seismic hazard assessments ...

Current knowledge on the crustal properties of Italy

Annals of Geophysics, 1994
The recent advances in experimental petrography together with the information derived from the super-deep drilling projects have provided additional constraints for the interpretation of refraction and reflection seismic data.

Influence of Inherited Rifted Margin Architecture on Continental Collision Dynamics

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Continental collision is a key process in lithospheric evolution, driving mountain building, crustal thickening, and supercontinent assembly. Within the Wilson cycle, collision marks the final stage following rifting, ocean spreading, and subduction.

Key New Evidence for the Hainan Mantle Plume Head: Ongoing Formation of a Large Igneous Province?

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The process‐based surface magmatic expression of mantle plumes is typically a large igneous province (LIP) induced by the mantle plume head, followed by subsequent age‐progressive volcanic tracks resulting from plate drifting above the plume tail.

Adaptive linear inversion of Moho topography in the Tibetan Plateau by combining gravity and seismic data

Frontiers in Earth Science
The Tibetan Plateau is a region where the Indian and Asian-European plates collide. A high-precision Moho topography model is important for the study of plate motion and internal tectonics of the Tibetan Plateau.

Crustal structure and apparent tectonic underplating from receiver function analysis in South Island, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2008
We utilize seismic converted phases on more than 700 receiver functions calculated for 42 stations in the South Island, New Zealand, to infer crustal and uppermost mantle structure.

Seismicity, Repeating Earthquakes, and Tomographic Imaging of the Blanco Transform Fault System, Northeast Pacific

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The Blanco transform fault system (BTFS) represents an evolving transform plate boundary in the Northeast Pacific Ocean. Its seismic behavior was captured with a dense network of 54 ocean‐bottom seismometers (OBS) operated for 1 year. We created a high‐resolution earthquake catalog based on different machine‐learning onset pickers.

Autocorrelation Seismic Imaging of Northern Taiwan Using Ambient Noise Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Over the past few million years, northern Taiwan records a tectonic history of subduction to arc–continent collision followed by post‐collisional collapse. This evolution motivates constraints on crustal structure, including crustal layering and thickness.
