The Dynamics and Surface Signal of Slab Break‐Off in Continental Settings: Insights From 3D Numerical Modeling

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The fate of an oceanic plate that has been subducted over an extended period of time involves slab break‐off, which can occur either simultaneously across the entire slab or locally, creating a tear that propagates sub‐horizontally. These processes are thought to explain various geological observations, such as the evolution of foreland basins,

Stress Model of California: Fault‐Stress Interactions Across a Complex Plate Boundary System From Focal Mechanisms of Small Earthquakes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract California, located along the transform boundary between the Pacific and North American plates, hosts a complex fault system, a long history of damaging earthquakes, and frequent small earthquakes. While earthquakes arise from the buildup and release of elastic stress, detailed knowledge of principal stress orientations, absolute stress ...

Crustal and Upper Mantle Structure Beneath the Corinth Rift Using Receiver Function Analysis

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The Gulf of Corinth is one of the fastest‐extending continental rifts in Europe, yet the link between present‐day strain, inherited crustal structure, and lithospheric dynamics remains debated. We investigate crustal thickness and Vp/Vs variations using receiver functions from 31 seismic stations.

Temperature and Dynamic Effects of the Plate Boundary Shear Zone During Subduction

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The plate boundary in a subduction zone is a narrow, weak shear zone, which transitions from brittle to ductile deformation with increasing depth. The exhumed rock record documents the important role of metamorphism, fluid release, and mixing of compositionally distinct materials in controlling the physical properties of the shear zone.

Nine‐Year L‐Band InSAR Time Series of Tectonic and Non‐Tectonic Surface Deformation in Northern California

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This study evaluates the performance of ALOS‐2 ScanSAR time series for resolving tectonic, volcanic, hydrologic, and geomorphic deformation across Northern California. Beginning in 2021, ALOS‐2 acquired ScanSAR data with a 14‐day repeat interval over the region, providing the closest available analog to the recently launched NISAR mission. The

Fault Volume Digital Twin to Reproduce the Full Slip Spectrum, Scaling, and Statistical Laws

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Seismological and geodetic observations of fault zones reveal diverse slip dynamics, scaling, and statistical laws. Existing mechanisms explain some but not all of these behaviors. We show that incorporating an off‐fault damage zone—characterized by distributed fractures surrounding a main fault—can reproduce many key features observed in ...

Balancing Earth's Deep Carbon Cycle

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The deep carbon cycle of the Earth remains poorly understood in spite of its importance to the evolution of our planet. Here we consider estimated carbon fluxes for plume‐related volcanism from the lower mantle as an independent constraint on the deep carbon cycle, avoiding uncertainties regarding high pressure mineralogy.
