Inversion of Short‐Period Seismic Signals as a Tool to Understand Small‐Volume Rockslide Mechanics: The Case Study of the 26 January 2023, Lorgino (Crevoladossola, NW Italy) Rockslide

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract A small‐volume 6,000 m3 rockslide struck the Lorgino hamlet of Crevoladossola (NW Italy) just before 23:00 UTC on 26 January 2023, at the boundary of a nearby marble quarry. The rockslide severely damaged the mining infrastructure and halted operations for months, fortunately without causing injuries or casualties.

The Role of Basal Roughness and Assemblage Grain‐Size Distribution in Shaping Granular Rheology and Basal‐Force Signals

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract We present idealized 3‐D discrete element simulations exploring how varying boundary roughness and grain‐size distribution affect bulk granular‐rheology and basal‐force distributions. Boundary roughness has a direct control on the internal static friction coefficient.

A Lithospheric Drip Triggered Green and Colorado River Integration

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The integration of the Green and Colorado Rivers shifted the continental drainage divide of North America, marking a key event in the hydrological and biogeographical evolution of the continent. Sedimentological and stratigraphic evidence shows that for integration to occur, the Green River likely cut through the Uinta Mountains between 8 and ...

Revised History of Pleistocene Vertical Motions in NE Sicily and Southern Calabria, Italy, From 40Ar/39Ar Dating and Fault Zone Morphology

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Long‐term rates of crustal uplift in southern Calabria and NE Sicily are incompletely understood due to limited information about the age of marine terraces at 1.0–1.3 km above sea level (asl). This study provides a new constraint on high‐elevation terrace ages through integrated analysis of geochronology, stratigraphy, shoreline modeling, and

Differential Mountain‐Building in the South Tian Shan Revealed by Multi‐Spatiotemporal Foreland Deformation

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Understanding how spatially variable mountain‐building processes proceed within large intracontinental orogens provides critical insights into continental tectonics and regional paleoenvironmental evolution. Here, we address this issue in the central South Tian Shan (cSTS), a key transitional segment between the well‐studied eastern and ...
