The 2025 Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model Update: Ground Motion Model Selection and Comparison

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
We evaluate, select, and describe the ground‐motion models (GMMs) used in the 2025 update of the U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (PRVI). We identify the most appropriate models that align with GMM selection criteria for use in the PRVI region to improve the accuracy of seismic hazard assessments ...

Evaluation of Earthquake‐Induced Slope Displacements in Greater Vancouver Based on Probabilistic Framework and Using NBCC 2020 and EqDisp Code Platform

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
Engineers frequently use simplified seismic slope displacement procedures to evaluate the performance of earth structures and natural slopes. Current practices typically adopt Newmark‐type and semi‐empirical seismic displacement prediction models (SDPMs) to estimate the seismic slope displacements (D) based on ground motion intensity measures at a ...

Influence of Inherited Rifted Margin Architecture on Continental Collision Dynamics

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Continental collision is a key process in lithospheric evolution, driving mountain building, crustal thickening, and supercontinent assembly. Within the Wilson cycle, collision marks the final stage following rifting, ocean spreading, and subduction.

Key New Evidence for the Hainan Mantle Plume Head: Ongoing Formation of a Large Igneous Province?

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The process‐based surface magmatic expression of mantle plumes is typically a large igneous province (LIP) induced by the mantle plume head, followed by subsequent age‐progressive volcanic tracks resulting from plate drifting above the plume tail.

Seismicity, Repeating Earthquakes, and Tomographic Imaging of the Blanco Transform Fault System, Northeast Pacific

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The Blanco transform fault system (BTFS) represents an evolving transform plate boundary in the Northeast Pacific Ocean. Its seismic behavior was captured with a dense network of 54 ocean‐bottom seismometers (OBS) operated for 1 year. We created a high‐resolution earthquake catalog based on different machine‐learning onset pickers.
