Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract The collision of continents typically leads to orogenesis as a result of crustal thickening and isostatic compensation. High topography is a main locus of precipitation‐fueled erosion, providing a feedback‐loop between tectonics, surface processes, and climate.

Structural Controls on Splay Fault Rupture Dynamics During Cascadia Megathrust Earthquakes
AGU Advances, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.Abstract Great subduction earthquakes (Mw ≥ 8.0) can generate devastating tsunamis by rapidly displacing the seafloor and overlying water column. These potentially tsunamigenic seafloor offsets result from coseismic fault slip and deformation beneath or within the accretionary wedge. The mechanics of these shallow rupture phenomena and their dependence

Range‐Parallel Extension of the Andes in the 2020 Mw 5.7 Humahuaca Earthquake
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract Normal‐faulting earthquakes in mountain ranges provide important constraints on the dynamics of mountain building. To date, well‐documented examples of range‐parallel extension come primarily from the Tibetan Plateau, limiting our ability to test different models for its cause.

Is the Suez Rift in Its Post‐Rift Phase?
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 21, 16 November 2025.Abstract Failed rifts are widely assumed to enter post‐rift tectonic quiescence after termination of intracontinental rifting, but a comprehensive understanding of their regional morphotectonics is lacking. Our quantitative, rift‐scale geomorphic analyses in the Suez Rift, an archetypal failed rift in Egypt, reveals widespread rifting after presumed ...

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract In a subduction zone, variability in the buoyancy and structure of the downgoing plate impacts deformation patterns in the overriding plate. Thick and buoyant lithosphere or smaller‐scale indentors entering the trench can lead to significant relief development and exhumation. To investigate such processes, we target the Cenozoic reorganization

Controls on Water‐Magma Interactions at Hydraulically‐Charged Volcanic Islands
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 18, 28 September 2025.Abstract The interaction of rising magma with groundwater can produce phreatomagmatic explosions, which, given their enhanced explosivity and unpredictability, increase the hazard potential of volcanic eruptions. To investigate the link between groundwater occurrence and phreatomagmatism, we compare the volcanic record of Flores Island (Azores) with ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract The spatial distribution of seismicity in active fault zones depends primarily on the geometry of the fault networks. However, recent advances suggest that seismic activity may also be controlled by the rheology of the geological units surrounding fault zones. In the present work, we use seismological and geological analyses to investigate the

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract The Hellenic forearc is one of the least understood forearc systems globally due to limited availability of high‐resolution imagery of its deep structure, especially landward of the Mediterranean Ridge. Here, we combine widely spaced high‐resolution multichannel seismic‐reflection profiles with seafloor morpho‐bathymetric analysis and ...

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 10, August 2025.Cosmogenic 26Al/10Be ratios are used to quantify the spatial–temporal processes of landscape change in the Pilbara since the Plio‐Pleistocene. We compare long‐term catchment denudation rates from bedrock and river sediments and explore the potential mechanisms underlying their complex exposure history through a source‐to‐sink approach.

The Evolution of the Cocos‐North America‐Caribbean Triple Junction From Detrital Zircon Analysis
Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 8, August 2025.Abstract The tectonic framework and Cenozoic evolution of the Cocos–North America–Caribbean (Co–NA–Ca) triple junction remain subjects of major geological importance due to their complexity and regional impact. New U–Pb zircon geochronology of detrital sediments and detailed structural and geomorphic mapping from southern Chiapas, Mexico, provide ...
