Characteristics of Seismic Energy Rate Functions of Shallow Tremors

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract We investigated the energy rate functions of shallow tremors southeast of the Kii Peninsula in the Nankai subduction zone. Unimodal functions (triangle or bell‐shaped) explain the characteristics of small (<104 J) shallow tremors. As the seismic radiated energy increases, the energy rate functions become more complex and are better ...

Layered Seismic Anisotropy and Tectonics of the Anatolian Plate

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Anatolian tectonics are associated with slab retreat in the west and gravitational potential energy and continental collision in the east, leading to westward motion of Anatolia relative to Eurasia, partially accommodated on the North and East Anatolian transform faults.

19 Clustered Foreshock Sequences Along the San Jacinto Fault Zone: Possible Role of Frictional Heterogeneity in Extended Earthquake Nucleation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Laboratory experiments and theoretical models suggest that earthquakes are preceded by extended nucleation phases, perhaps by slow but accelerating slip. However, such nucleation phases are hard to observe before natural earthquakes. Here we identify clustered foreshock sequences that could be nucleation signatures.

Trench‐Breaching Rupture of the 2025 Mw 8.8 Kamchatka Earthquake and How It Repeats the 1952 Event

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract The 29 July 2025 Mw 8.8 Kamchatka earthquake generated a trans‐Pacific tsunami. The hypocenter was nearly at the same location as the 1952 great earthquake (Mw 8.8–9.0). Determining whether the 2025 rupture reached the trench and how it relates to the 1952 event is crucial for understanding slip behavior along the Kamchatka subduction zone. We
