Temperature and Dynamic Effects of the Plate Boundary Shear Zone During Subduction

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The plate boundary in a subduction zone is a narrow, weak shear zone, which transitions from brittle to ductile deformation with increasing depth. The exhumed rock record documents the important role of metamorphism, fluid release, and mixing of compositionally distinct materials in controlling the physical properties of the shear zone.

Fault Volume Digital Twin to Reproduce the Full Slip Spectrum, Scaling, and Statistical Laws

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Seismological and geodetic observations of fault zones reveal diverse slip dynamics, scaling, and statistical laws. Existing mechanisms explain some but not all of these behaviors. We show that incorporating an off‐fault damage zone—characterized by distributed fractures surrounding a main fault—can reproduce many key features observed in ...

Autocorrelation Seismic Imaging of Northern Taiwan Using Ambient Noise Data

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Over the past few million years, northern Taiwan records a tectonic history of subduction to arc–continent collision followed by post‐collisional collapse. This evolution motivates constraints on crustal structure, including crustal layering and thickness.

Weakening Processes in Carbonate‐Hosted Faults: Phyllosilicate Microlayers and Injections Along the Mattinata Fault (Southern Italy)

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Micrometric phyllosilicate films along fault slip surfaces (SSs) can drastically reduce friction, yet they are unexpected in clay‐poor carbonate platforms. We inquire how a major carbonate‐hosted, seismogenic strike‐slip fault can develop weak slip interfaces and undergo dynamic weakening despite an intrinsically strong host rock.

Shear‐Wave Splitting Measured for Permanent Reservoir Monitoring Systems: An Example From the Snorre Field

open access: yesGeophysical Prospecting, Volume 74, Issue 4, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Microseismic monitoring of offshore CO2$\rm CO_2$ storage projects is likely to include some deployment of offshore sensors. To improve the value proposition of this monitoring infrastructure, it is important to consider what other information can be gained about the CO2$\rm CO_2$ storage complex and the surrounding region.

Shear-wave attenuation anisotropy: a new constraint on mantle melt near the Main Ethiopian Rift

open access: yesSeismica
The behaviour of fluids in preferentially aligned fractures plays an important role in a range of dynamic processes within the Earth. In the near-surface, understanding systems of fluid-filled fractures is crucial for applications such as geothermal ...

Prediction of Fault and Fracture Density From Seismic Attributes and Machine Learning Models Calibrated With Borehole Image Logs

open access: yesBasin Research, Volume 38, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
This study integrates post‐stack seismic attributes with a CNN‐based workflow to characterize sub‐seismic deformation in shale gas reservoirs. A near‐linear correlation is established between seismic characterization methods and borehole deformation counts.
