A Rate‐and‐State Friction Based Criterion for the Probability of Earthquake Fault Jumps

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Geometrical complexities in natural fault zones, such as steps and gaps, pose a challenge in seismic hazard studies as they can act as obstacles to seismic ruptures. In this study, we propose a criterion, which is based on the rate‐and‐state equation, to estimate the efficiency of an earthquake rupture to jump between two spatially ...

Different Radiation Characteristics Between Foreshocks and Aftershocks of the 2016 Mw7.0 Kumamoto Earthquake in Kyushu, Japan: Implication of Pore Pressure, Stress Concentration, and Loading Rate

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract We estimated the scaled energy (eR ${e}_{R}$) for small earthquakes (1.5≤Mjma≤3.0 $1.5\mathit{\le }{M}_{\text{jma}}\mathit{\le }3.0$) in the focal area of the 2016 Mw 7.0 Kumamoto earthquake to examine the underlying physical processes governing the foreshocks‐mainshock‐aftershock sequence.

Holocene Normal Faulting in the Southern Rocky Mountain Trench; Orogenic Collapse Modulated by Glacial Unloading?

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Southern Rocky Mountain Trench (SRMT) is a conspicuous valley in the eastern Canadian Cordillera. It lies above a sharp change in lithospheric strength and thickness and is occupied by a normal fault thought to have last been active in the Eocene.

Deformation and Earthquake Potential on the North America–Caribbean–Cocos Plate Boundary System in Guatemala

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract In Guatemala, the Cocos, North American, and Caribbean plates interact to create a region of high seismic risk. Previous analyses of crustal faults in the country have been overly simplified, creating discrepancies between geologic and geodetic slip rate models.

Global Primary and Secondary Microseism Multi‐Decade Geographic Variation, Secular Intensification, and Period Lengthening

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Earth's long period background seismic wavefield is dominated by two distinct processes that couple ocean wave energy to a global microseism wavefield. We assess global microseism intensity in the secondary (4–10 s) and primary (14–20 s) bands, and across eight 2 s‐wide period bands between 4 and 20 s.
