Building a Continental‐Scale Geodetic Network: The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO)

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) transformed the use of geodesy in North America to study crustal deformation and plate boundary processes by establishing a continental‐scale, standardized, open‐access geodetic network. Built and operated by UNAVCO between 2003 and 2018 as part of the National Science Foundation (NSF)‐funded EarthScope ...

Seismic Passive Control of Cable-Stayed Bridges

Shock and Vibration, 1995
A three-dimensional modeling procedure is proposed for cable-stayed bridges with rubber, steel, and lead energy dissipation devices. The passive control technique is investigated by considering the response of bridge models with and without energy ...

Transient Creep on the Yarlung Zangbo Suture in Southern Tibet Triggered by the 2015 Gorkha (Nepal) Earthquake

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Large earthquakes often elevate seismicity in surrounding regions, as seen on the Xainza‐Dinggyê rift in southern Tibet after the 2015 MW 7.8 Gorkha (Nepal) earthquake. In contrast, the EW‐trending Yarlung Zangbo suture (YZS), located directly north of this event, exhibits seismic quiescence.

Baleen Whale Occurrence in the Waters Off Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. From 2001 to 2019

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Eighteen years of visual survey and strandings data were used to describe baleen whale occurrence along the continental shelf of Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. This region experiences heavy anthropogenic use, which poses risks for mortality and injury to baleen whales. Between 2001 and 2019, six species of baleen whales were recorded, and

LOW FREQUENCY PASSIVE SEISMIC ANALYSIS FOR CHARACTERIZING HYDROCARBON PRESENCE IN THE KENDAL SUBBASIN

Rudarsko-geološko-naftni Zbornik
This study explores the characteristics of hydrocarbon presence in the Kendal subbasin, Central Java, using low-frequency passive seismic (LFPS) techniques as a direct hydrocarbon indicator.

Seismic Velocity Variations Illustrate Hydrological and Ecohydrological Processes in a Mountain Watershed

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract We employ passive seismic interferometry to study seismic hydrological responses in a snowmelt‐driven, semi‐arid catchment. Seismic velocity changes (dv/v) at 2–4 Hz and 4–8 Hz are analyzed from six stations along a hillslope transect between May and November 2023 and compared to precipitation, soil moisture, and groundwater level timeseries ...

Shallow Modeling and Site‐Amplification From Telecommunications Fibers in Istanbul

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract We use pre‐existing fiber‐optic telecommunications fibers in Istanbul, Türkiye, to generate a seismic velocity model of the subsurface down to 100 m depth, and estimate site‐amplification in the region. We collect ambient noise, predominantly from urban traffic, along the 8 km segment fiber, extract Rayleigh wave dispersion curves, and use a ...

Evaluating Multi‐Agent and Wavelet‐Transform Uncertainties in Lunar Seismic Ambient Noise Exploration

Earth and Space Science
Passive seismic ambient noise interferometry (ANI) has shown potential for lunar seismic exploration, offering the capability to detect near‐surface subsurface structures critical for future lunar mission, such as near‐surface ice deposits and lava tubes,

Lithosphere‐Asthenosphere Interactions Across the Indo‐Burma Subduction Zone From Sp Receiver Functions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The Cenozoic convergence between the Indian and Asian plates has driven large‐scale mantle convection that interacts with both plates. Understanding this convergence benefits from clear imaging of the lithosphere‐asthenosphere boundary (LAB).
