Revisions to the 2023 U.S. 50‐State National Seismic Hazard Model

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
We present an update to the 2023 U.S. 50‐state National Seismic Hazard Model, based on questions and comments received from a range of users, as well as additional internal and building code reviews since its initial release. For the conterminous United States, the update includes (1) revised weighting of ground motion models in the Intermountain West,

Building damages in Deyang city by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2011
The Ms8.0 Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 caused huge casualties, economic losses, and building damages, which are analyzed. The results show that damages of houses designed according to the current seismic code were significantly smaller than those without ...

A New Amphibious Earthquake Catalog for the Alaska Peninsula: Training, Testing, and Applying Machine Learning Earthquake Picking in Offshore and Amphibious Environments

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract The dual seismological developments of large‐scale offshore observational networks and high‐quality machine‐learning earthquake detection and picking allow unprecedented seismicity detection in high hazard subduction zones. We develop a high resolution machine learning enhanced seismicity catalog for the Alaska Peninsula stretch of the Alaska ...

Ionospheric disturbances around the time of the Ms7.0 Lushan earthquake

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2013
Variations of Vertical Total Electron Content (VTEC) in the ionosphere are investigated around the time of the Ms7. 0 Lushan earthquake. A time-series analysis shows an anomalous VTEC increase 15 days before as well as some anomalous VTEC decreases 5 ...

Mechanical Decoupling Across the Deep Megathrust Boundary

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract We examine stress and strength across the deep subduction plate boundary at ∼60 km depth offshore northeastern Japan, near the downdip seismic limit of the megathrust. High‐frequency (2–5 Hz) moment tensor inversion of ∼2,000 M 2–3.5 earthquakes, integrated with existing catalogs, increases the number of focal mechanisms by more than a factor ...

Revealing the Hydrothermal System of La Soufrière Volcano (Guadeloupe) Through Nodal Ambient Noise Tomography

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract La Soufri'ere de Guadeloupe is an active volcano of the Lesser Antilles Volcanic Arc. Its last eruption halted in 1977, yet hydrothermal activity has increased over recent years, raising summit instability hazards. The link between hydrothermal fluids and detachment landslide surfaces is well established and exacerbated by inflation ...

The 2 May 2025 Mw 7.4 Drake Passage Earthquake: Insights Into Tectonics at the Shackleton Fracture Zone–Chilean Trench Transition

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract On 2 May 2025, an Mw 7.4 earthquake occurred ∼120 km off the southern tip of Tierra del Fuego, at the transition of the Shackleton Fracture Zone and the Chile Trench. This event exhibits reverse‐faulting mechanisms with relatively steeply dipping planes and is the largest recorded along this complex plate boundary.

Citizen seismology, Stalinist science, and Vladimir Mannar’s Cold Wars

open access: yes, 2017
This essay takes a historical view on “citizen science” by exploring its socialist version via the case of a Soviet amateur seismologist Vladimir Mannar.
