An Overview of Tsunami Hazards in the Southwest Pacific Ocean

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
The southwest Pacific region is geologically complex and exhibits all the principal causes of tsunami generation. While contemporary events and historical catalogs indicate that trans‐Pacific tsunamis have affected this area (∼18% of tsunamis reported globally), it is unique in that a large part of the tsunami effects over the ∼200‐year historical ...

Low Hazard–High Risk: A Case Study of the Active Mangatangi Fault

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Activity on low deformation rate faults are challenging to quantify and comparatively understudied. One such fault, the Mangatangi Fault, strikes NE‐SW along the southeastern flanks of the Hunua Ranges c. 52 km south of New Zealand's most populous city, Auckland.

Holocene Slip Behavior and Shallow Structure of the Milun Fault at the Collision–Subduction Transition, Eastern Taiwan

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
The Milun Fault forms the northernmost onshore segment of the Longitudinal Valley fault system, a plate‐boundary suture between the Eurasian and Philippine Sea plates in eastern Taiwan, and poses a significant seismic hazard to Hualien City. Despite destructive earthquakes in 1951 and 2018, the shallow structure, long‐term slip behavior, and ...

Earthquake Rate Variability in the Auckland Volcanic Field Within a Long‐Duration Self‐Consistent Earthquake Catalogue

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Eruptions in the Auckland Volcanic Field in Aotearoa New Zealand have not occurred since seismic monitoring began in Aotearoa New Zealand, but it is generally presumed that future eruptions from the Auckland Volcanic Field will be preceded by elevated rates of seismicity.

Aerial and Space‐Borne Seismology on Venus: Viability and Design Implications for Future Missions

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Venus' evolution remains a mystery because of the lack of in situ geophysical data to constrain its interior structure. Recently‐selected planetary missions VERITAS (NASA), DAVINCI+ (NASA), and EnVision (ESA) will investigate the planet's interior, surface, and atmospheric chemistry.

Significant Coastal Dune Loss Challenges California's Climate Resilience and Biodiversity Goals

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Coastal sand dunes support unique biodiversity and buffer beaches and communities against storm impacts. However, these sensitive and dynamic ecosystems are increasingly threatened by erosion, sea‐level rise (SLR), and encroaching coastal development.

New Insights Into Hikurangi Subduction Inputs and Megathrust Host Rocks Spanning Along‐Margin Changes in Fault Slip Behavior

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The seismic behavior of subduction megathrusts varies spatially and is influenced by the properties of subducting plates, including their sedimentary cover. Characterizing these subduction inputs is essential for understanding the mechanisms behind fault slip variability.

Cajon Pass and the Southern San Andreas Fault System: Earthquake Cycle Stress Accumulation and Present‐Day Loading

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract With over a century since the last major rupture affecting the wider Los Angeles region, tectonic stress has steadily built along the southern San Andreas and San Jacinto fault systems, raising concerns of an imminent large earthquake. Cajon Pass, located at the junction of these faults, represents a critical site for potential through‐going ...

First Direct Observations of Internal Flow Structures in a Powder Snow Avalanche: Turbulence, Instability and Particle Distribution

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Powder snow avalanches are highly dynamic, multiphase gravity‐driven flows typically composed of a dense basal layer overlain by airborne layers in which snow particles are suspended within a turbulent air phase. Despite extensive work on related systems such as pyroclastic density currents and turbidity currents, all gravity current studies ...
