The 2025 Mw 7.6 Aomori Megathrust Earthquake in Northeast Japan: Failure of a Structurally and Rheologically Bounded Asperity Beneath a Cold Mantle Wedge

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract To explore mechanisms of rupture segmentation, we invert coseismic GNSS offsets for the 2025 Mw 7.6 Aomori, Japan earthquake. Our preferred curved‐fault solution images a compact thrust rupture at 25–50 km depth with peak slip ∼2.5 m near 35 km.

Double‐ITCZ Bias Reduces Southern Hemisphere Influence on Tropics via Oceanic Pathways

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Many coupled climate models exhibit an Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) south of the Equator in the annual‐mean tropical Pacific that is more pronounced than observed. This bias impacts winds, wind‐driven ocean circulation, including the meridional subtropical cells, and the zonal distribution of waters supplying the equatorial ...

High‐Resolution 3‐D Lithospheric Structure of the Subducting Carnegie Ridge and the Ecuadorian Margin Imaged From Teleseismic Receiver Functions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The Ecuadorian margin is a forearc‐arc system shaped by oceanic terrane accretion and Carnegie Ridge subduction, yet the accretion mechanism and ridge subduction extent remain poorly constrained. Using teleseismic P‐wave receiver functions from dense seismic arrays, we image velocity discontinuities within the overriding plate and subducting ...

Solar‐Cycle Modulation of Subsurface Ocean Memory via the North Pacific Eastern Subtropical Mode Water

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The North Pacific eastern subtropical mode water (NPESTMW) connects the subtropics and tropics, influencing climate variability on interannual to decadal timescales. Using eight decades of ocean reanalysis, we show that the 11‐year solar‐cycle robustly modulates NPESTMW volume. NPESTMW formation is suppressed 1–2 years after solar maxima: high

Double Trouble: Two Active Magma Reservoirs Identified at Masaya Volcano, Nicaragua, Using Satellite Geodesy

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract We analyze and model ground deformation at Masaya volcano, Nicaragua, using Sentinel‐1 Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) time series spanning January 2018–February 2024. Time series show the Masaya Central Reservoir (MCR) experienced ∼3 cm of line of sight (LOS) displacement away from the satellite north of the Santiago crater ...

Tectonic Tremor Reveals Slow Deformation Along the Antarctic–South American Subduction Zone

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The Antarctic–South American subduction zone is among the least explored convergent margins and lacks documented large interplate earthquakes despite ongoing convergence. Here we report the discovery of tectonic tremor along this plate boundary using continuous seismic data.
