Theoretical Maximum and Cumulative Seismic Moment Relationships Confirm that Injection Volume Controls the Occurrence Rate, But Not the Magnitude, of Induced Earthquakes

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Classical relationships between cumulative and maximum seismic moment, based on the Gutenberg‐Richter law, shows a non‐physical anomaly for low b‐values. We here derive new relationships, including a low and a high b‐value approximation.

Major Melting Event on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica, Connected With Enhanced Atmospheric Turbulence

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract The Ross Ice Shelf (RIS) in West Antarctica experienced extensive surface melting in January 2016, driven by warm humid air transported from over the Southern Ocean. Few studies have reported increased atmospheric water vapor and turbulent mixing during this event in this region, where the availability of surface measurements is challenging ...

Distributed Lower‐Crustal Flow Beneath the Central Xianshuihe–Xiaojiang Fault System: Reconciling Geodesy and Geology

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract We use recently compiled GNSS velocities across the Zemuhe‐Daliangshan fault zone, part of the central Xianshuihe‐Xiaojiang fault system, to reconcile a long‐standing mismatch between geodetic and geologic slip‐rate estimates. We show that conventional elastic dislocation models yield slip rates and locking depths that conflict with seismic ...

Record‐Wise Disaggregated Seismic Fragilities for Interconnected Systems

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 743-758, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Seismic risk assessment studies typically rely on fragility functions/curves to characterize the susceptibility of an asset or a class of assets to damage. These curves are essentially a summarization of responses evaluated on the basis of ground motions with record characteristics and intensities that may or may not be tied to a specific site

Combined Vertical and Horizontal Components of Near‐Source Earthquakes and Impact on Base‐Isolated Structures

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 781-803, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Over recent decades, the collection of seismic data has improved the understanding of near‐fault ground motion effects, which involve both horizontal and vertical components. Among the most significant effects are fault‐normal directivity, which concentrates seismic energy into an intense, long‐period pulse, and fault‐parallel fling step ...

PROBABILISTIC SEISMIC HAZARD ANALYSIS OF SOUTHWESTERN NIGERIA

International Journal of GEOMATE, 2018
For about ten decades, the seismic record of Nigeria has shown the occurrence of several magnitudes of earthquakes. This is contrary to the belief of some people in time past that Nigeria is aseismic. In number and in size, most of the witnessed earthquakes in Nigeria are found to occur in her South-Western region.

Seismic Performance and Generalized Damage Risk of Modular Cross Laminated Timber Houses Across Ten United States Cities

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 687-703, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Housing shortages in the United States and the pursuit of sustainable and resilient communities have positioned cross‐laminated timber (CLT) housing as a promising alternative due to the ability to design for modularity, ease of construction, and low embodied carbon performance.

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis for NE Brazil

Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering
Abstract Performing seismic hazard analysis in Stable Continental Regions presents unique challenges due to the low rates of seismicity, long recurrence intervals of significant earthquakes, and limited historical earthquake records. These factors complicate the identification and characterization of active seismic zones and the accurate ...
