Deep‐Focus Earthquakes Under Northeast China—An Imprint of the Complex Tectonic History of Pacific Plate Subduction

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Deep‐focus earthquakes and their association with metastable olivine wedges (MOWs) remain enigmatic. Here we perform a seismic‐geodynamic analysis of the Pacific slab stagnant at the 660 km deep bottom of the mantle transition zone. All investigated deep earthquakes exhibit only minor (mostly implosive) isotropic components, yet exhibit ...

Bimodal Slip Segmentation of the SW Hellenic Megathrust Revealed by the Mw 6.8 Methoni Earthquake Sequence and Tomography

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The influence of geological and structural heterogeneity on the megathrust slip behavior in subduction zones has been widely discussed for both the lower‐ and upper‐plates. In this work, we present OBS local earthquake tomography on the outer forearc domain of the SW Hellenic subduction zone performed with the aftershocks of the 2008 Mw 6.8 ...

True and Apparent Polar Wander From Sluggish to Active Lid Tectonics

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract It has been proposed that to satisfy a wide range of geological observations, early Earth mantle convection operated in “sluggish‐lid” tectonics before transitioning to modern‐day, “active‐lid” tectonics. The former is the result of a weaker asthenosphere relative to the latter and manifests itself in a partially decoupled plate‐mantle system.
