Potency–Magnitude Scaling Relations and a Unified Earthquake Catalog for the Western United States

The Seismic Record
Quantifying the size of earthquakes is a foundational task in seismology, and over the years several magnitude scales have been developed. Of these, only scales based on seismic moment or potency can properly characterize changes in event size without ...

The 2025 Mw 8.8 Kamchatka Megathrust: A Rapid Recurrence With Complex Heterogeneous Rupture

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract On 29 July 2025, a Mw 8.8 earthquake struck Kamchatka, ∼50 km from the 1952 Mw 9.0 megathrust hypocenter, exhibiting a comparable aftershock zone. We resolve the kinematic rupture process and slip distribution by combining teleseismic waveforms with high‐quality tsunami data.

The Lunar Surface Gravimeter as a Lunar Seismograph [PDF]

, 2008
Introduction: The primary objective for the Lunar Surface Gravimeter (LSG) on Apollo 17 was to search for gravitational waves, but it failed in detecting them [1]. When the instrument was deployed on the Moon, the sensor beam could not be balanced in the

Stress Field and Megathrust Strength in the Western Hellenic Subduction System: Insights From the 2024 Mw 5.9 Strofades Earthquake Sequence, Greece

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract A M5.9 earthquake occurred on 29 March 2024, offshore near the Strofades Islands, in the western Hellenic Subduction System. Here we present high‐precision earthquake locations and focal mechanisms that suggest the rupture of a NNE‐SSW striking, left‐lateral strike‐slip fault.

Prediction of Large Events on a Dynamical Model of a Fault

, 1993
We present results for long term and intermediate term prediction algorithms applied to a simple mechanical model of a fault. We use long term prediction methods based, for example, on the distribution of repeat times between large events to establish a ...

Development of smoothed seismicity models for seismic hazard assessment in the Red Sea region

Natural Hazards
The Red Sea region, situated between the Arabian and African Plates, experiences significant seismic activity due to its tectonic dynamics, with earthquakes ranging from minor to potentially destructive events.

Solitary Confinement: Surprising Post‐Copulatory Behaviour of an Australian Species of Wishbone Spider (Mygalomorphae: Anamidae: Aname)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Araneomorph spiders are regarded as a model group for sexual selection studies, while the mating system of mygalomorph spiders remains largely unknown. We here report on the mating behaviour of an Australian wishbone spider species, involving a novel post‐copulatory behaviour for mygalomorph spiders (‘burrow plugging’).
