Large‐Scale Flow Toward Low‐Velocity Anomalies Reconciles Seismic and Geodynamic Constraints in the Deepest Mantle Beneath Alaska

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Deep mantle downwellings are typically located away from the two Large Low‐Velocity Provinces (LLVPs) in Earth's mantle. Geodynamic models based on global seismic tomography generally predict that convective flow at the core‐mantle boundary spreads laterally away from downwelling regions and toward LLVPs.

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 ...

Complex Kinematics of Upper‐Plate Faulting Along the Central Cascadia Forearc Inferred From the Lateral Displacement of Marine Terraces

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Recent earthquakes along the shallow portion of the Hikurangi subduction zone (the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake sequence, New Zealand) indicate that faults within the overriding plate of subduction zones may exhibit uncharacteristically large surface displacements relative to their fault length. Whether this style of upper‐plate faulting is common

Advancing Near‐Real‐Time Flood Inundation Mapping in Australia

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Floods are the second‐most deadly natural hazard in Australia, following heatwaves. Monitoring flood extent and depth in near real‐time (NRT) is crucial to minimize loss of life and socio‐economic impacts. This study leverages advanced computing, data management systems, and high‐quality data, including river gauge data APIs and Australian ...
