Effect of Mainshock Selection, Earthquake Catalog and Definition on Foreshock Rate Estimates in Southern California

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Estimates of the percentage of moderate to large crustal earthquakes (mainshocks) that have foreshocks (the foreshock rate) vary widely: Recent estimates in Southern California using an enhanced catalog range between 19% and 72%. Enhanced catalogs seem to reveal more foreshocks, possibly providing new constraints on nucleation mechanisms, but ...

Seismic Evidence of Impact Breccia and Unlithified Sediments Under Hiawatha Glacier

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Hiawatha Crater in northwest Greenland is one of only two putative impact craters under an ice sheet. Hiawatha therefore offers a rare proxy for understanding the interactions between active glacial dynamics and impact craters on other planetary bodies.

The Origins of Africa's Upper Mantle Discontinuities

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Enigmatic discontinuities in the upper mantle beneath Africa, such as the mid‐lithosphere and X‐discontinuities, have prompted various theories regarding their causes. However, most studies rely on S‐to‐P receiver functions, raising concerns about resolution.

A Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Simulating 3D Seismic Wave Propagation in Nonlinear Rock Models: Verification and Application to the Mw 7.8 2015 Gorkha, Nepal Earthquake

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The nonlinear mechanical responses of rocks and soils to seismic waves play an important role in earthquake physics, influencing ground motion from source to site. Continuous geophysical monitoring, such as ambient noise interferometry, has revealed co‐seismic wave speed reductions extending tens of kilometers from earthquake sources. However,

Normative expression and accurate understanding of focal mechanism parameters

open access: yesGeosystems and Geoenvironment, 2023
This paper aims at the understanding of the relationship between the upper and lower hemisphere projection maps of the focal sphere, the correct reading of the focal mechanism parameters on the projection diagram, and to investigate if there is ...

Deciphering a Quantitative Relationship Between Rifting and Crustal Melt Fraction: Insights From the Incipient Okavango Rift Zone

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 12, 28 June 2025.
Abstract Rifting and magmatism are fundamental geological processes in the evolution of the lithosphere; however, quantitative investigations of their relationship are rare. The Okavango Rift Zone (ORZ) is in the early stages of rifting and magmatic activity and thus is an ideal locale to study this relationship.

Volcanic Radiative Power Retrieval From Moderate‐to‐Low‐Temperature Features Using a Single TIR Band: Validation Using Volcanic Crater Lakes and Hydrothermal Systems

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 12, 28 June 2025.
Abstract Assessing Radiative Power (RP) output is essential for monitoring and understanding volcanic systems. While Mid‐Infrared channels are used to assess thermal outputs at volcanoes exhibiting effusive activity, Thermal‐InfraRed (TIR) bands are better suited for measuring moderate‐to‐low‐temperature (≲600 K) features, such as those associated with
