Imaging Near‐Surface Bedrock Fracturing and Fluid Pathways Using Seismic Attenuation and Velocity From Viscoacoustic Full‐Waveform Inversion of Refraction Data

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Seismic attenuation provides sensitivity to fracture density, fluid saturation, and pore geometry that complements velocity, enabling quantitative imaging of fracture architecture and associated fluid‐pathways in near‐surface bedrock. Yet high‐resolution attenuation models remain rare in refraction studies due to amplitude‐fidelity and ...

Thermochemical Controls on the X, 410, and 660 Discontinuities in the Central Mediterranean

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The mantle beneath the Central Mediterranean is thermally and compositionally heterogeneous, as indicated by fragmented and locally stagnant slabs in tomographic images and HIMU‐like anorogenic magmatism. Mantle discontinuities are sensitive to both temperature and composition, and thus provide a way to quantify these heterogeneities.

Multi‐Scale Spatial Variations in Pacific Mantle Seismic Anisotropy: Constraints on Plate Evolution and Asthenospheric Flow

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We present array‐scale (∼500 × 500 km) anisotropic shear‐velocity models from two Pacific ocean‐bottom seismometer (OBS) arrays of the OBS Research in the Convecting Asthenosphere (ORCA) experiment: Young ORCA (∼43 Ma) and Old ORCA (∼90 Ma). Rayleigh‐wave phase velocities spanning 5–150 s are combined with Love‐wave phase velocities from 5 to ...

Effect of Fluorine on the Stability of Dense Hydrous Mg Silicates With Implications for the Deep Water Cycle

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Water is believed to be transported, at least locally, into the Earth's deep mantle via hydrous minerals. Fluorine not only tends to interact with water but also influences the stability of hydrous minerals. Thus, knowledge of its stability could be important in understanding the deep‐water cycle.

Bayesian Inference of Fault Slip Heterogeneity and Overlap: Application to 2019 Ridgecrest Earthquakes and Afterslip

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Fault slip occurs in both seismic and aseismic styles with spatial variability across scales, yet non‐unique source inference limits our ability to resolve slip complexity and dynamics. Here we evaluate the effect of spatial smoothing regularization in Bayesian frameworks by comparing an unregularized (BUR) approach that samples distributed ...

Dislocation Bands and Subboundaries in Experimentally Deformed Olivine

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Transmission electron microscopy imaging of dislocations in olivine indicates heterogeneous structures and diversity of dislocation types. However, the volumes imaged at high resolution are smaller than individual grains even of fine‐grained samples.

Submarine Flank Collapses at Tagoro Volcano: Insights From Bathymetric Surveys and 3D Multiphase Simulations

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Volcanic islands are prone to flank instabilities that can generate tsunamis even when mobilized volumes are moderate. This study investigates submarine collapses during the 2011–2012 eruption south of El Hierro, which built the Tagoro submarine volcano.
