New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.The deposition of the sandstone sedimentary succession of the Beacon Supergroup lasted more than 200 Myr (Devonian to Early Jurassic) in Victoria Land and nearby territories in the so‐called Transantarctic Basin, recording crucial events in the history of the Earth.

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.The Eastern Himalayan Syntaxis (EHS), which is located at the southeastern edge of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau, is a key region for understanding mountain‐building and subduction processes. Bouguer gravity anomalies derived from the Earth Gravitational Model 2008 free‐air anomaly data following topographic corrections, were analyzed.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.Abstract We deployed 30 temporary seismic stations around the source region of the 2024 Mw 7.5 Noto Peninsula earthquake to investigate the relationship between mainshock rupture and fault geometry. Using machine learning techniques, we detected and precisely located 46,252 aftershocks, revealing several fault planes corresponding to active faults ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.Abstract Reconstructing oroclinal orogens along the Fuegian Andes‐northern Antarctic Peninsula provides critical constraints on the pre‐opening tectonic evolution of the Drake Passage, although such efforts are limited by a lack of reliable Cretaceous paleomagnetic and geochronological data.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Slow, aseismic fault slip has emerged as a significant contributor to the seismic cycle. However, whether slow and fast slip arise from similar physical processes remains unresolved, due to detection biases affecting noisy surface measurements and the analysis of the source properties of slow slip.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract On 28 March 2025, a Mw 7.7 earthquake occurred on the Sagaing Fault in Myanmar. Security constraints prevented timely field investigations on its surface rupture, hindering analysis of seismotectonics and rupture dynamics. Using high‐resolution satellite imagery, we mapped a ∼420 km surface rupture and measured 540 dextral offsets, revealing ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Myanmar's high seismic hazard is underscored by the 2025 Mw 7.7 earthquake on the Sagaing Fault, yet its seismicity patterns and underlying controls remain poorly understood. Using new seismic data from the 2nd‐phase array of the China‐Myanmar Geophysical Survey in the Myanmar Orogen, we construct a high‐resolution catalog of 1,819 local ...
