Patterns of Late Cenozoic exhumation deduced from apatite and zircon U-He ages from Fiordland, New Zealand

, 2005
New apatite and zircon (U-Th)/He ages from the Fiordland region of New Zealand's South Island expand on earlier results and provide new constraints on patterns of Late Cenozoic exhumation and cooling across this region.

Building a Continental‐Scale Geodetic Network: The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO)

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) transformed the use of geodesy in North America to study crustal deformation and plate boundary processes by establishing a continental‐scale, standardized, open‐access geodetic network. Built and operated by UNAVCO between 2003 and 2018 as part of the National Science Foundation (NSF)‐funded EarthScope ...

Evaluating the U.S. Geological Survey's Earthquake Shaking Hazard Forecasts and Their Implications on Seismic Risk

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
We analyze the last six update cycles of the long‐term probabilistic earthquake shaking hazard forecast from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and discuss the changes in hazard estimates from the 1996 to the latest 2023 update of the National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) for the conterminous United States.

Seismic Fragility and Vulnerability of Partially Grouted Flexural‐Controlled Reinforced Masonry Buildings in Colombia

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
This paper presents the development of analytical fragility and vulnerability functions for flexure‐controlled partially grouted reinforced masonry (RM) buildings that are representative of Colombian urban areas, with the goal of enhancing national seismic risk assessments.

Geochemical and Sr-Nd-Hf-O isotopic constraints on volcanic petrogenesis at the Sunda arc, Indonesia [PDF]

, 2006
The Sunda island arc of Indonesia formed as a result of the northward subduction of the Indo- Australian Plate beneath the Eurasian Plate. Along-arc variations in the composition and thickness of the overriding Eurasian plate and variation in the type ...

Assessments of Liquefaction Triggering and Manifestation at Three Case History Sites in Napier Based on 1931 Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, Earthquake

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
The 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake (∼MS 7.8) stands as one of New Zealand's most devastating, causing widespread liquefaction and damage across the city of Napier. However, Napier remains underrepresented in liquefaction hazard studies as compared to other regions in the country.

Post‐Event Ground Motion Estimation using Graph Neural Networks

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Accurate ground motion (GM) estimates are essential for forensic analysis of structural damage following major earthquakes when direct recordings at the location(s) of interest are unavailable. Contemporary post‐event GM estimation methods often leverage nearby observations to constrain estimates of intensity measures (IMs); however, existing ...

Validation of ShakeMaps Created From Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Velocities

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Ground velocity observations generated through a time difference of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) phase observables and orbits have been shown to be comparable to seismic recordings without clipping during intense ground motions. Computing GNSS velocities is also computationally scalable and increases the density of ground motion ...

Subduction-related volatile recycling and magma generation beneath Central Mexico: Insights from melt inclusions, Oxygen isotopes and geodynamic models

, 2009
The subduction-related Michoacan-Guanajuato Volcanic Field (MGVF) in central Mexico contains similar to 900 cinder cones and numerous larger shield volcanoes of Late Pliocene to Holocene age. We present data for major, trace and volatile (H2O, CO2, S, Cl)

High‐Resolution Tomography for the Upper‐Mantle Structure in North China by Full‐Waveform Inversion of Teleseismic P Wave and Its Codas

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract We investigate the structure and tectonic environment in the crust and upper mantle beneath the North China Craton (NCC) by conducting a full‐waveform inversion of teleseismic P and its coda waves from densely distributed broadband seismic stations. A high‐resolution model involving P‐ and S‐wave velocities as well as density is constructed by
