Strong Ground Motion Characteristics of the Saturated Loess Site

Shock and Vibration, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Significant differences exist in the ground response of saturated and unsaturated deposits to earthquakes, but few relevant studies exist on strong ground motion in saturated loess. We have selected three loess sites that are highly affected by earthquake‐induced liquefaction hazards, analyzed the nonlinear characteristics of the ground motion response

Discovery of active faults in the southern Beishan area, NW China: Implications for regional tectonics

Dizhi lixue xuebao, 2021
On the north side of the Hexi Corridor, two active faults, which belong to two different fault systems, have been discovered on the southern margin of Beishan, namely the Jiujing-Bantan fault and the Ebomiao fault.

Seismogenic Thickening in the Pamir Plateau From Craton Underthrusting Revealed by the 2023 Mw 6.9 Earthquake

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 23, 16 December 2025.
Abstract The convergence of the Indian and Eurasian plates beneath the Pamir Plateau has produced complex continental subduction, significantly influencing upper crustal faulting and seismicity. To investigate the kinematic behavior of the High Pamir Plateau, we derive a geodetic slip model for the 2023 Mw 6.9 Pamir earthquake by using Sentinel‐1A and ...

Brittle Deformation in the Neoproterozoic Basement of Southeast Brazil: Traces of Intraplate Cenozoic Tectonics

Geosciences, 2021
The basement of southeast Brazil is traditionally interpreted as the result of Neoproterozoic and early Paleozoic orogenic cycles. Wide regions of the Atlantic Plateau (southeast Brazil) are characterized by rocks and tectonic structures of Precambrian ...

Influence of Structural Maturity on the Rupture Morphology of the Northern Alpine Fault, Aotearoa New Zealand

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The Alpine Fault (AF) in Aotearoa New Zealand is a fast‐slipping plate boundary fault late in its seismic cycle that presents a major source of seismic hazard. Past earthquakes have created a structural‐geomorphic record of surface ruptures that we map and analyze for the northern AF using 1,000 km2 ${\text{km}}^{2}$ of Light Detection and ...

Neotectonics of the Manych Trough

Doklady Earth Sciences, 2011
The general (regional) and local neotectonic features of the Manych Trough have been discussed. It has been shown that the trough’s bottom was generally immersed at a slow but stable rate of 0.1 mm/year with an amplitude of 40–50 m. Additionally, migration of portions of the maximal and minimal immersion has been identified.

Aseismic Slip on the Ilyak Strike‐Slip Fault (Tajikistan) and Active Fault and Landslide Hazards in and Around the Tajik Basin Revealed by InSAR

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The Ilyak fault in Tajikistan is an E‐W striking strike‐slip fault, which forms the northern boundary of the actively deforming Tajik Basin fold and thrust belt. Determining the activity of the Ilyak fault is important for understanding the hazard to the nearby capital city of Dushanbe, and more generally in assessing the role of lithology in ...

Insights into temporal earthquake clustering from the Settlement Fault, southeastern Otago, Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 747-772, December 2025.
ABSTRACT We combine previous studies, fieldwork, lidar data, and trenching to examine late Quaternary activity of the SE‐dipping ≥23 km long Settlement Fault in the southeastern South Island. Trenching of a scarp crossing a small alluvial fan exposed a > 3 m thick sequence of folded sandy to silty fan alluvium.

Historical Fragmentation in Atlantic Forest Explains the Diversification of a Clade of Mountaintop Bromeligenous Frogs (Leptodactylidae: Crossodactylodes)

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 823-839, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The Atlantic Forest domain is a biodiversity hotspot with remarkable amphibian diversity, including over 700 species, 70% of which are endemic. Most of these endemic species have restricted geographic ranges, often confined to mountainous areas, as exemplified by the leptodactylid genus Crossodactylodes.

Multi‐scale geophysical imaging of neotectonic fault activity in the northern Upper Rhine Graben, Germany

Near Surface Geophysics, Volume 23, Issue 5, Page 483-501, October 2025.
Abstract A comprehensive multi‐method geophysical strategy is used to investigate two faults in the Northern Upper Rhine Graben. Combining industrial 3D seismic data with our own 2D P‐ and S‐wave seismic, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and ground‐penetrating radar (GPR), we created comprehensive subsurface images of the faults. 3D seismic data
