Observational Evidence of a Very‐Low‐Frequency Earthquake (Mw 3.8) Leading to an Earthquake (Mw 4.2): Minto Flats Strike‐Slip Fault Zone, Central Alaska

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The physical conditions governing earthquake initiation are largely unknown, particularly in the minutes to seconds preceding rupture. While there is geodetic and seismic evidence of precursory activity in the hours to weeks prior to large earthquakes, the observational evidence immediately preceding the earthquake rupture is limited and ...

Anisotropic Biot Coefficient of Fractured Rocks Drives Failure Conditions in Pressurized Reservoirs

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract We present a theoretical framework to quantify the equivalent Biot coefficient tensor of fractured rock masses based on the properties of both the intact porous matrix and the fracture network. Our results show that the presence of dominant fracture sets produces an anisotropic equivalent Biot tensor, with larger values in the direction ...

Generation Mechanisms of Intermediate‐Depth and Deep Earthquakes in Southwestern Japan: Implications for the Tearing or Thinning of the Pacific Slab

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract We performed a stress tensor inversion using focal mechanisms from intermediate‐depth and deep earthquakes to estimate the stress regime of the Pacific slab beneath southwestern Japan. We focused on the temporally averaged stress field derived from the recent 28‐year data set of the F‐net CMT solutions.

On the consistency of moment tensor source mechanisms with first-motion data

, 1985
Moment tensor source mechanisms for the largest twenty-nine shallow earthquakes from 1981 (M_s ≥ 6.5) have been determined using long-period Rayleigh-wave spectra and P-wave first-motions, recorded by the International Deployment of Accelerograms (IDA ...

The Effect of Hydraulic Fracturing on the 2021 Ms 6.0 Luxian Earthquake as Revealed by Deformation and Numerical Simulations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract This study investigates whether hydraulic fracturing contributed to the 2021 Ms 6.0 Luxian earthquake in the Sichuan Basin. Time‐series InSAR analysis of multi‐temporal Sentinel‐1 data reveals coseismic deformation associated with the 2021 Luxian earthquake and localized uplift near hydraulic fracturing platforms.

Shallow Modeling and Site‐Amplification From Telecommunications Fibers in Istanbul

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract We use pre‐existing fiber‐optic telecommunications fibers in Istanbul, Türkiye, to generate a seismic velocity model of the subsurface down to 100 m depth, and estimate site‐amplification in the region. We collect ambient noise, predominantly from urban traffic, along the 8 km segment fiber, extract Rayleigh wave dispersion curves, and use a ...

Integrated Geophysical Imaging Reveals the Origin and Pathways of Mantle‐Derived CO2 Beneath the Tangra Yumco Rift, Central Tibet

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The Tangra Yumco Rift (TYR) in central Tibet is a key window for crust–mantle interactions during extension. We performed high‐resolution crust‐mantle imaging using receiver function analysis, 1‐D nonlinear S‐wave velocity inversion, and tomoDD tomography, revealing a vertical Crust–Mantle Degassing System (CMDS) bounded by the Zhala (ZF) and ...
