Block Kinematics, Interseismic Coupling and Fault Slip Rates in the Aegean Region From GPS and Earthquake Slip Vector Data: 2. Hellenic Subduction System

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Hellenic subduction system is the primary locus of Nubia‐Eurasia convergence, yet the distribution of strain accumulation along it is still debated. Here, we invert 832 geodetic velocities and 146 earthquake slip vectors to assess the spatial variability of interseismic locking and provide new constraints on the rate of slip deficit ...

Probabilistic Assessment of Variable Slip Rates of Offshore Buried Thrusts in the Central Adriatic Sea (Italy) Since the Pliocene Time

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Understanding the recent tectonic activity of buried faults represents a challenge for scientists. In the offshore portion of the Northern and Central Apennines foredeep basin in the Central Adriatic Sea, Italy, high sedimentation rates, exceeding tectonic uplift since the Pliocene, and the offshore location are hampering the detection of ...

Seismotectonic characterization of Mexico

, 2019
México es una Región Sismotectónica activa, mayoritariamente en la placa continental de Norteamérica y tiene los 2 tipos de sismicidad (entreplacas y de interior de placa). La estructura jerárquica contiene 3 Provincias Sismotectónicas (Norte-Occidental, Occidental y Centro-Oriental), en ellas hay 11 Unidades Sismotectónicas y en éstas se localizan las

Stress Drop and Seismic Efficiency Distributions Over the Adriatic Indenter (European Southeastern Alps)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Seismic source parameters, such as seismic moment, stress drop, and radiated energy, are key to understanding earthquake dynamics and rupture processes. In this study, we apply a non‐parametric Generalized Inversion Technique (GIT) to characterize the source properties of 735 earthquakes (local magnitudes 1.65 ≤ ML ≤ 4.55) recorded between ...

The Role of Mafic Intrusion in Seismotectonics: Insights From the 1668 M 8.5 Tancheng Earthquake Rupture Zone Along the Tan‐Lu Fault Zone, Eastern China

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The Tan‐Lu Fault Zone (TLFZ), the largest lithosphere‐scale strike‐slip fault in eastern China, has experienced multiple tectonic stages and remains high seismic activity, including the 1668 Tancheng earthquake (M 8.5). Here we employ dense‐array receiver functions to resolve crustal thickness, Vp/Vs ratio, and seismic discontinuities in the ...

Stress Field and Megathrust Strength in the Western Hellenic Subduction System: Insights From the 2024 Mw 5.9 Strofades Earthquake Sequence, Greece

Geophysical Research Letters
A M5.9 earthquake occurred on 29 March 2024, offshore near the Strofades Islands, in the western Hellenic Subduction System. Here we present high‐precision earthquake locations and focal mechanisms that suggest the rupture of a NNE‐SSW striking, left ...
