Forecasting Cascading and Compounding Flood Risk From Earthquake‐Induced Ground Deformation
ABSTRACT Large earthquakes can disrupt river systems and produce abrupt, unforeseen changes in flood risk. Forward modelling of earthquake‐related surface deformation and its influence on inundation extent, depth, and frequency enables pre‐emptive assessment of exposure to this compound hazard.

Abstract The Aliança Formation (Jatobá Basin) represents lacustrine deposits formed in oxygenated waters that hosted a diverse fauna, including Hybodontiform sharks. Within this group, the Family Lonchidiidae comprises 11 valid genera, with Parvodus previously reported in Brazilian deposits from the Brejo Santo Formation (Araripe Basin, Late Jurassic ...

Collocated Geotechnical and Geophysical Test Dataset at Three Sites in Napier, New Zealand
Reliable assessment of liquefaction hazard, particularly in the context of groundwater fluctuations associated with hydroclimatic changes and variability between liquefaction assessment methods, necessitates supplementary data and advanced site characterization methods.

Internet Geography: Plate Tectonics
This site is part of GeoNet Internet Geography, a resource for pre-collegiate British geography students and their instructors. This page focuses on the structure of the Earth and the theory of plate tectonics, including continental drift, plate ...

Abstract Understanding shallow magmatic and hydrothermal systems at active volcanoes is essential for interpreting unrest and forecasting eruptions. We present the first high‐resolution three‐dimensional Vp $Vp$, Vs $Vs$, and Vp/Vs $Vp/Vs$ models of Vulcano Island, Aeolian Islands, Italy, derived from a dense nodal seismic network.

Abstract We investigate the role of the elasticity and density of the forearc mantle wedge corner on the stress distribution in the forearc region of subduction zones, using numerical quasi‐2D lithospheric deformation models for the Cascadia, Nankai, NE Japan, and Costa Rica subduction zones. We incorporate the forearc mantle wedge corner as an elastic

Abstract Water plays a critical role in Earth's mantle dynamics and evolution, yet lower‐mantle storage mechanisms remain debated. δ‐AlOOH and SiO2 phases have been independently proposed as high‐pressure water hosts. Here, we conducted in situ synchrotron X‐ray diffraction experiments with a multi‐anvil apparatus and sintered diamond anvils to ...

Abstract Intraplate volcanism in Northeast Asia, located in a distant back‐arc setting, challenges conventional models of mantle convection and volatile cycling. Using receiver function data from over 300 broadband stations, we image the mantle transition zone (MTZ) beneath the Changbaishan/Paektu volcano.
