Abstract Landslides often generate long‐period seismic waves that propagate over large distances. During volcanic island collapses and their intrusion into seawater, seismic signals of >1 min periods are widely observed. The physical sources of these signals remain poorly understood due to complex landslide‐water interactions. In this paper, we perform

Decadal Stability of Multi‐Scale Core‐Mantle Boundary in Core‐Reflections of Repeating Earthquakes
Abstract Temporal changes near the core‐mantle boundary (CMB) would trigger insights into ongoing thermal and chemical interactions between the Earth's core and mantle. Here, we search for multidecadal temporal changes in the CMB topography and heterogeneity using waveform similarity analysis of core‐reflected phases (PcP, ScP, and ScS) from global ...

Helioseismic response to X2.2 solar flare of February 15, 2011
The X2.2-class solar flare of February 15, 2011, produced a powerful sunquake event, representing a helioseismic response to the flare impact in the solar photosphere, which was observed with the HMI instrument on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO ...

Anisotropic Melt Inclusions as a Confounding Signal for Ice‐Penetrating Radar Observations
Abstract Ice‐penetrating radar is a powerful geophysical tool for understanding the subsurfaces of Earth, Mars, and icy moons. Radar reflectivity, attenuation, and birefringence are used to infer subsurface hydrology, englacial temperature, water content, and crystal orientation fabric.

Abstract The Alpine Fault (Aotearoa New Zealand) is a major plate boundary transform fault, that quasi‐periodically hosts large (M7‐8) to great (M8+) earthquakes. The fault is thought to be segmented with sections rupturing both individually and in combination.

Dislocation creep may control bridgmanite deformation in the Earth’s lower mantle
Seismic anisotropy in the Earth’s lower mantle, particularly around subduction zones, is commonly attributed to deformation by dislocation creep, yet much of the lower mantle appears nearly isotropic.

Abstract Accurate estimates of geothermal heat flow (GHF) are critical for predicting basal melting and identifying stable sites for ancient ice, yet GHF remains one of the least constrained boundary conditions for the Antarctic Ice Sheet. We evaluate nine published Antarctic GHF models against radar‐derived specularity content in the South Pole Basin (

Getting Anisotropy in the Seismic Data Processing
In a conventional processing of seismic data (processing of only one type of wave, P or S), to getimages for hydrocarbons exploration, an isotropic model of the earth is assumed.

Effect of Al on the sharpness of the MgSiO_3 perovskite to post-perovskite phase transition [PDF]
By means of static ab-initio computations we investigate the influence of Al on the recently discovered perovskite to post-perovskite phase transition in MgSiO_3. We examine three substitution mechanisms for Al in the two structures: MgSi → AlAl; SiSiO →
