Stress Transfer From Slow Slip Events to Earthquake Swarms as a Cycle in the Southernmost Ryukyu Subduction Zone

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Recent megathrust earthquakes preceded by slow slip events highlight static stress transfer as a key triggering mechanism. However, there are limited insights into the interplay between static stress transfer and elevated fluid pressure before earthquake triggering.

On the Application of 1 Versus 2 State Variable Rate‐and‐State Friction Laws: An Example From the Nankai Trough Megasplay Fault Zone

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Frictional slip behavior in fault zones can be analyzed with friction laws using 1 or 2 state variables, but the physical meaning and applicability of the 2‐state variable form of the law remain unclear. Here, we re‐analyze friction experiments by Roesner et al. (2022, https://doi.org/10.1186/s40623‐022‐01728‐w) using a natural sample from the

Projected Changes of Mesoscale Eddy Activity in Subantarctic Mode Water Formation Regions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW) plays a vital role in the uptake of heat and carbon, thereby regulating global climate. Mesoscale eddies affect mode‐water subduction and transport in the Southern Ocean. However, it remains unclear how SAMW‐related eddy activity will evolve under anthropogenic warming, because most state‐of‐the‐art climate ...

Penetration of Warm Slabs Across the 660 km Boundary: The Potential Role of Hydrous Stishovite

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract We investigate the phase boundary of hydrous/anhydrous post‐spinel transition at conditions relevant to the 660 km boundary. For the hydrous ringwoodite decomposition, the slope is found to range from negative to positive values depending on the distribution of water between the final products, namely, bridgmanite, periclase (mostly anhydrous)

Spatiotemporal Variations in the Interplate Slip Rate Around Kodiak Island, Alaska

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Monitoring spatiotemporal variations in the interplate slip rate during the interseismic period, such as transient strain release by slow slip events (SSEs), is crucial for characterizing the physical properties of faults. We analyze 10 years of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data in the region of Kodiak Island, Alaska.
