Regional‐to‐Global Tectonic and Trench‐Morphology Effects of Oceanic Plateau Subduction
Abstract Regional geodynamic modeling has shown that oceanic plateau subduction can modify the slab behavior. However, few studies have explored these interactions beyond 100 Myr in 3‐D spherical models. Using 3‐D spherical mantle convection models with self‐consistent plate‐like behavior, we investigate how the geometry and rheological properties of ...

Crustal Heat Flow Drives the Earthquake Magnitude Distribution
Abstract Earthquake magnitude‐frequency distributions exhibit significant space‐time variations, which can provide critical insights into the physical processes driving seismicity. Understanding these variations is crucial for assessing seismic hazards and uncovering the physical processes driving earthquakes.

A Shape Optimization Approach for Inferring Sources of Volcano Ground Deformation
Abstract One of the main goals of volcano geodesy is to improve the understanding of how an increase in pressure related to magma accumulation causes ground deformation in order to evaluate volcanic unrest. The inversion methods used for this purpose rely on a parametrization of the shape of the crustal volume in which pressure changes due to magma ...

Abstract We investigate the spatiotemporal evolution of foreshocks preceding the 2025 Mw 8.8 Kamchatka earthquake by applying single‐station analysis to waveforms recorded at the nearest seismic station. Our results reveal a southwestward migration of foreshocks toward the mainshock epicenter through multiple stages, with a migration speed of ∼7.0 km ...

We studied the Permian–Triassic successions of south‐western Türkiye at five locations, synthesised sedimentological and palaeontological data, putting it into a consistent stratigraphic framework and incorporating 3D digital outcrop models. Abstract The Permian–Triassic transition is characterised by major environmental changes and the largest known ...
