Dip Angles of Mountain‐Front Facets Encode Long‐Term Slip Rates Along the Wasatch Normal Fault, USA
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 22, 28 November 2025.Abstract Mountains bounded by seismogenic normal faults are commonly decorated with facet slopes: planar slopes made of bedrock, or bedrock mantled by regolith, that rise above the fault. The steepness of such slopes is thought to reflect a balance between fault slip and erosion rate.

The charge state of electrostatically transported dust on regolith surfaces
Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 The charge state of dust particles on regolith surfaces exposed to ultraviolet radiation or plasma is investigated for understanding the role of electrostatic dust transport in the surface evolution of airless planetary bodies.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 22, 28 November 2025.Abstract Dissolution of secondary clay minerals during continental weathering (hereafter clay dissolution) has been proposed as a mechanism to explain some of the low seawater lithium isotopic ratios (δ7Li) observed in the geologic past. However, direct evidence for clay dissolution on Earth surface remains limited, and the controlling factors are ...

Site Specific Ground Response Analysis for Quantifying Site Amplification at A Regolith Site
Indonesian Journal on Geoscience, 2017 DOI: 10.17014/ijog.4.3.159-167A numerical model has demonstrated that it can simulate reasonably well earthquake motions at the ground level during a seismic event. The most widely used model is an equivalent linear approach.

Boulders on Bennu: Low Apparent Thermal Inertia Caused by Thermal Fatigue Fractures
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 21, 16 November 2025.Abstract Boulders covering the surfaces of asteroids Bennu and Ryugu have apparent thermal inertias substantially lower than their meteorite analogs. This has led to the inference that boulders on Bennu may be unlike any known meteorite. However, samples returned from Ryugu have a thermal inertia 3.5 times higher than the apparent thermal inertia ...
