Active Normal Fault Segmentation and Linkage in the Umbria‐Marche Apennines (Italy): Insights From 3D Structural Modeling

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Normal‐fault growth, segmentation, and their relationships with crustal inheritance and rheological layering are investigated in a post‐thrusting setting of the southern sector of the Northern Apennines. We integrate 3D modeling with gravity, thermal, and seismological constraints to reconstruct the geometry and evolution of the main normal ...

A New Experimental Design to Measure Second‐ and Third‐Order Anisotropic Rock‐Stiffness Coefficients Using a Single‐Rock Sample

Geophysical Prospecting, Volume 74, Issue 8, October 2026.
ABSTRACT We developed a new experimental setup for measuring and modelling stress‐induced anisotropy and nonlinearity in cylindrical rock samples. Multidirectional ultrasonic velocity measurements were conducted under laboratory conditions and during triaxial‐stress testing to capture dynamic rock properties. This is done by placing endcap transducers (

Crustal Shear‐Wave Velocity and Azimuthal Anisotropy Imaging Reveals the Merapi‐Merbabu‐Telomoyo Volcanic Chain, Central Java

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract We present new results from ambient noise tomography and azimuthal anisotropy analysis of the DOMERAPI data set to investigate crustal structure beneath the Merapi‐Merbabu‐Telomoyo region in central Java. The 3D shear‐wave velocity (Vs) model reveals a prominent high‐Vs anomaly extending from south of Merapi through Merbabu to Telomoyo ...

Analysis of seismic anisotropy in 3D multi-component seismic data [PDF]

, 2010
The importance of seismic anisotropy has been recognized by the oil industry since its first observation in hydrocarbon reservoirs in 1986, and the application of seismic anisotropy to solve geophysical problems has been keenly pursued since then ...

Structural Heterogeneity Shapes Segmentation of Megathrust Earthquakes and Volcanism in Central America

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract The mechanisms underlying the patchy distribution of forearc megathrust earthquakes and arc volcanoes in subduction zones remain poorly understood. Here we present a high‐resolution seismic tomographic model of the Central American subduction zone, derived from a joint inversion of local body‐wave and teleseismic Rayleigh‐wave data.

The Role of Tectonic Inheritance in Active Rift Seismicity and Magmatism: Constraints From 3‐D Gravity Inversion and D‐InSAR Modeling of the 2025 Fentale Swarm, Ethiopia

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract The role of inherited lithospheric structures in active rift seismicity and magma intrusion remains a key uncertainty in continental breakup dynamics. We investigate the January 2025 Northern Main Ethiopian Rift swarm using constrained 3‐D gravity inversion and D‐InSAR observations to characterize crustal architecture, seismicity, and active ...

Near‐Field Acoustic and Gravity Wave Modes in the Ionosphere Triggered by Ground Motion and Tsunami During the 2024 Mw7.4 Hualien Earthquake

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract The interaction between the atmosphere and other components of the Earth system, such as the solid Earth and the oceans, remains an open and active area of research. In particular, the dynamic response of the ionosphere to forcing from below, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, is not yet fully understood.

Insights on the African Upper Mantle From Quasi‐Love Wave Scattering

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The African upper mantle is diverse, featuring several cratonic roots, active and magmatic continental rifting, abundant intra‐plate volcanism, and several oceanic hotspots offshore.

Melt‐Regulated Crustal Kinematics in the Pamir, NW Tibetan Plateau: Insights From Surface‐Wave Tomography

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract The Pamir, located at the northwestern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, is undergoing E–W extension within its interior, accommodated by micro‐block motions along major fault systems; however, the mechanisms governing this modern block kinematics remain elusive.

Seismic attenuation in Faroe Islands basalts [PDF]

We analysed vertical seismic profiling (VSP) data from two boreholes at Glyvursnes and Vestmanna on the island of Streymoy, Faroe Islands, to determine the magnitude and causes of seismic attenuation in sequences of basalt flows.
