Flood‐Scale Bedload Transport Dynamics From Acoustic Monitoring Compared With 2D Hydro‐Sedimentary Modeling

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Accurate estimation of bedload fluxes is critical to understanding sediment transport processes and associated channel evolution in gravel‐bed rivers, however, traditional direct measurements using samplers are time‐consuming and complex. To overcome these limitations, new indirect methods have been developed to estimate fluxes from bedload ...

Basal Force Probability Distributions in Thin‐Layer Granular Flows

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Extreme geophysical flows, such as granular and debris flows, can significantly shape the landscape in steep lands and generate seismic signals that can be recorded over long distances. However, direct field measurements needed to constrain the granular physics remain difficult due to the damage potential of those flows.

iS‐GNN: Interpolation of Crustal Stress Maps Using a Graph Neural Network Model

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Estimating the orientation of the maximum horizontal stress (SHmax) from sparse and unevenly distributed geophysical observations remains a persistent challenge in tectonic and geomechanical stress studies. Classical interpolation methods often neglect the multiscale tectonic–geological heterogeneity of the crust, leading to biased estimates ...

Surrogate‐Assisted Bayesian Inference of Fracture Network Parameters From Elastic Waves: A Sensitivity‐Guided Approach

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract We develop a sensitivity‐guided, surrogate‐assisted Bayesian framework to infer fracture network parameters from elastic waves. Synthetic fracture networks characterized by power‐law length exponent a $a$, fracture density d $d$, and percolation parameter p $p$ are constructed.

Uplift of the Transantarctic Mountains: Evidence for an Evolving and Long‐Lived Rayleigh‐Taylor Instability

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Rayleigh‐Taylor instabilities within the upper mantle are investigated as a mechanism for the uplift of rift‐margin mountain ranges within the continents. Our focus is on the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM). These mountains form at the margin between East and West Antarctica and have been free from the effects of subduction for about 500 ...

Active Tectonics of the Eastern and Southern Alps ‐ Crustal Response to Deep Processes? A Review

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Owing to the low N‐S convergence rates between Adria and Europe, crustal deformation rates in the Alps and its forelands are low. Active tectonics are, therefore, difficult to study, especially as non‐tectonic landscape forming processes can erase or modify the tectonic surface imprint. Large‐scale and dense seismological data recently offered

Inversion by Intrusion: Magma‐Driven Shortening in the Turkana Rift (East Africa)

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Late Pliocene to Pleistocene inversion in the Turkana Rift, observed on seismic reflection data and in outcrop, presents a tectonic paradox by indicating local shortening in an overall extensional setting. Previous studies attributed this inversion either to the reactivation of obliquely oriented structural weaknesses or to reorientation of ...
