Plate motions recorded in tectonostratigraphic terranes of the Franciscan Complex and evolution of the Mendocino triple junction, northwestern California [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
The Mendocino triple junction area of northern California is underlain by the Coastal belt of the Franciscan complex, flanked on the east by the Central and Eastern belts of the Franciscan Complex.

Disaggregation of Landslide Risk

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Quantifying and disaggregating landslide risk through probabilistic landslide risk analysis (PLRA) is critical for land use regulation and risk reduction. However, no transferable model for PLRA currently exists that resolves landslide consequences to individual buildings at regional scales.

Crustal Magma Storage and Plumbing System Beneath the Tianchi and Wangtian'e Volcanoes, Changbaishan Intraplate Volcanic Field, China and North Korea

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Changbaishan volcanic field, which includes the Tianchi and Wangtian'e volcanoes in China and the Namphothe volcano in North Korea, is one of the most complex and hazardous volcanic regions on Earth due to its tectonic setting and explosive Holocene activity.

Deformation and Earthquake Potential on the North America–Caribbean–Cocos Plate Boundary System in Guatemala

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract In Guatemala, the Cocos, North American, and Caribbean plates interact to create a region of high seismic risk. Previous analyses of crustal faults in the country have been overly simplified, creating discrepancies between geologic and geodetic slip rate models.

Fault Friction, Plate Rheology, and Mantle Torques From a Global Dynamic Model of Neotectonics

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Improvements in software, parallel computing, global data sets, and laboratory flow‐laws help to develop the global Earth5 thin‐shell finite‐element model of Bird et al. (2008, https://doi.org/10.1029/2007jb005460) into a benchmark study. All experiments confirm that modeled faults (other than megathrusts) have low effective friction of 0.085 ±
