Detailed Shallow Shear Velocity Structure in the Nankai Trough From Ambient Noise Differential Adjoint Tomography: Implications for Earthquake Generation Mechanisms

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Seismic and aseismic slip has been reported in the Nankai Trough. In this study we apply ambient noise differential adjoint tomography to obtain a high‐resolution S‐wave velocity (Vs) model in the Nankai Trough. The Vs in the very shallow imbricate thrust zone is higher than that on both the seaward and landward sides.

Seismic Radial Anisotropy of the Southern Tibetan Rifts From Ambient Noise Adjoint Tomography: Basal Shear and Localized Crustal Weak Zones Promote Rifting

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract North–south‐trending rifts in southern Tibet record E–W extension within the Tibetan Plateau, closely linked to high gravitational potential energy from collisional thickening and northward underthrusting of the Indian lower crust. To reveal how basal shear is transmitted upward and controls rifting, we use ambient noise adjoint tomography ...

Seismic Exploration for Magmatic Brine Lenses: An Example From Soufrière Hills Volcano, Montserrat

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract The majority of metallic ore deposits are related to processes associated with ancient or modern volcanic systems. Beyond geothermal energy production, volcanoes also represent a potential resource of critical metals, including those required for carbon‐neutral technologies. Geothermal metals occur in subsurface fluid reservoirs fed by surface

Competing Effects of Elastic Heterogeneity and Viscous Flow on Interseismic Coupling at Cascadia

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Interseismic coupling maps are important tools for estimating future earthquake hazard at subduction zones. Often interseismic coupling is estimated from surface velocities using a homogeneous elastic Earth model. However, inversions that incorporate viscoelastic mantle flow or elastic heterogeneity show that each can change the spatial ...

Global Evidence for Off‐Axis Flexural Modification of Abyssal Hill Faults at Mid‐Ocean Ridges

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Young oceanic lithosphere flexes as axial topography decays across mid‐ocean ridge shoulders, yet this deformation has been quantified at only a few segments, leaving its global expression poorly constrained. We analyzed 50 across‐axis bathymetric profiles from 21 regions spanning slow to fast spreading rates, identified 1,201 abyssal‐hill ...

Trace Elements in Total Atmospheric Deposition Directly Measured Over the Caribbean Region: Natural Versus Anthropogenic Sources and Geographic Origin

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Dust, sea salt, and anthropogenic and biogenic particles in total atmospheric deposition are sources of essential elements that can significantly impact biogeochemical cycles in the Atlantic Ocean and in islands of the Caribbean region. This unique 41‐month data set records direct sampling of total atmospheric deposition from March 2015 to ...
