2025 U.S. Geological Survey National Seismic Hazard Model for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands: Overview of Model and Hazard Results

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
The U.S. Geological Survey recently updated the National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (PRVI). The first version of the PRVI NSHM was released in 2003, and therefore this 2025 update includes over 20 years of new geologic, geophysical, and engineering data, methods, and models.

Evaluation of Earthquake‐Induced Slope Displacements in Greater Vancouver Based on Probabilistic Framework and Using NBCC 2020 and EqDisp Code Platform

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
Engineers frequently use simplified seismic slope displacement procedures to evaluate the performance of earth structures and natural slopes. Current practices typically adopt Newmark‐type and semi‐empirical seismic displacement prediction models (SDPMs) to estimate the seismic slope displacements (D) based on ground motion intensity measures at a ...

From Warnings to Actions: Factors Influencing Response to Earthquake Early Warning—A Systematic Literature Review

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
Earthquake early warning (EEW) systems offer critical seconds for protective actions, yet their effectiveness ultimately depends on human interpretation and response. This article presents a systematic literature review of factors shaping public behavior during earthquakes and in response to EEW alerts.

Patterns and Drivers of Cliff Erosion in Big Sur, California, USA Using Repeat Photogrammetry, 2017–2023

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Seacliff erosion in steep terrain poses major risks to transportation and critical infrastructure. In Big Sur, California, USA, seacliff erosion threatens the sustainability of the central coast stretch of California State Route 1, a transportation corridor that is critical to the region's economy.

How Does Heterogeneity Control Strain Localization Patterns in High‐Porosity Rocks?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract We aim to explore how heterogeneous porosity and grain size contribute to strain localization patterns in highly porous rocks based on phase‐field simulations. The strain localization patterns, including shear bands, dilatation bands, and compaction bands, are commonly observed in geological field studies and laboratory experiments.

Consolidated‐Undrained Shear Behavior of Diatomaceous Mudstones: Implications for Submarine Landslides

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Submarine landslides occur globally and have the potential to damage seafloor infrastructure and trigger tsunamis. Recently, diatomaceous weak layers have been hypothesized to play a role in triggering submarine landslides on passive continental margins by generating overpressure.

Observing Broadband Tsunamis in Deep Water Via Distributed Acoustic Sensing

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Tsunamis have been detected as strain variations in optical fibers of submarine cables through distributed acoustic sensing (DAS). However, the usefulness of strain variations during tsunamis for early warning remains unclear. Here, we compare fiber strains and sea‐level changes for both infragravity waves in ambient noise and tsunamis ...
