Building damages in Deyang city by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake
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 ...

Geodetic Evidence of Shallow Slow‐Slip Phenomena Beneath the Southern Ryukyu Forearc
Abstract While slow slip events (SSEs) are recognized as a ubiquitous phenomenon in subduction zones, accurately tracking the spatiotemporal distribution of shallow SSEs remains challenging. Here, we investigate the potential occurrence of shallow SSEs in the southern Ryukyu forearc at the western boundary of the Philippine Sea plate using 25 years of ...

Unzipping of the Conjugate Fault System During the 2024 Mw7.4 Hualien Earthquake
Abstract On 2 April 2024, a Mw7.4 earthquake struck Taiwan's eastern coast near Hualien City. The fault responsible for the mainshock remained under debate due to the region's complex plate boundary system and intricate fault interactions. To determine the fault plane and resolve the rupture process, we analyzed local and teleseismic waveform ...

The influence of observation environment on background noise level of gPhone gravimeter
Based on the observations of 36 gPhone gravimeters in 2015, the background noise levels in the seismic frequency band (200–600s) and sub-seismic band (1–6 h) are calculated.

Abstract Alaska's coastal communities face growing landslide hazards owing to glacier retreat and extreme weather intensified by the warming climate, yet hazard monitoring remains challenging. As part of ongoing experimental monitoring in Prince William Sound, we detected three large landslides (0.5–2.3 M m3) at Surprise Inlet on 20 September 2024 ...

Seismic Velocities of Subducted Serpentinites Through the Lizardite‐Antigorite Transition
Abstract The mineralogical transition (lizardite to antigorite) occurring in serpentinites dragged down in subduction zones depends on the metamorphic pressure and temperature conditions. The seismic Vp/Vs ratio is useful for distinguishing serpentinites from other mantle rocks. To understand the effects of the metamorphic conditions and the associated

Commentary: Intense Upper Mantle Hydration of the Pacific Plate Beneath the Southern Mariana Trench
Abstract To date, estimates of mantle serpentinization in trench‐outer rise regions have largely relied on Vp models from controlled‐source seismic experiments. A recent study by He et al. (2025; https://doi.org/10.1029/2024GL113792) presented both Vp and Vs models along a seismic profile crossing the southern Mariana Trench near the Challenger Deep ...

Three dimensional MHD Modeling of Vertical Kink Oscillations in an Active Region Plasma Curtain
Observations on 2011 August 9 of an X6.9-class flare in active region (AR) 11263 by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on-board the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), were followed by a rare detection of vertical kink oscillations in a large-scale ...
