Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Melt migration in partially molten rocks is commonly described by porous flow models controlled by the hydro‐mechanical compaction length, which effectively explains melt extraction at mid‐ocean ridges. However, this framework cannot account for the paradoxical accumulation of small melt fractions into rhythmic leucosome–melanosome bands in ...

A Fractal-Enhanced Mohr–Coulomb (FEMC) Model for Strength Prediction in Rough Rock Discontinuities
Fractal and FractionalAccurate prediction of the shear strength of rock discontinuities requires accounting for surface roughness, which is a factor neglected in the classical Mohr–Coulomb criterion.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract This study examined the spatiotemporal variability in geotechnical properties of beach cusp sediments on a sandy beach and tested if such variability can be used for cusp monitoring from satellite imagery. Specifically, sediment properties (including moisture content (w), relative density (Dr), sediment strength (QSBC) and friction angle (ϕ ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Submarine landslides occur globally and have the potential to damage seafloor infrastructure and trigger tsunamis. Recently, diatomaceous weak layers have been hypothesized to play a role in triggering submarine landslides on passive continental margins by generating overpressure.

Mohr-Coulomb Failure Condition and the Direct Shear Test Revisited
Acta Polytechnica, 2004 An alternative critical plane orientation is proposed in the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion for soils with an extreme property. Parameter identification from the direct shear test is extended to incude the lateral normal stress.

Integrity Analysis of Cement Sheath in Annulus B of Vertical Section during Hydraulic Fracturing
Shiyou jixie, 2022 In the process of shale gas development in China,the phenomenon of sustained casing pressure(SCP)is widespread,which seriously affects the wellhead safety and life cycle of shale gas wells.Taking a shale gas well as an example,combined with the rock ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract One promising potential site for extracting supercritical geothermal fluids is the Krafla volcano, Iceland, into which a borehole was drilled very close to a shallow rhyolite magma chamber at about 2 km depth. Besides the technical challenge to drill in this setting, the extreme temperature conditions of T > 900°C close to the magma body may ...

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