Enhanced Bathymetric Inversion for Tectonic Features via Multi-Gravity-Component DenseNet: A Case Study of Rift Identification in the South China Sea

Remote Sensing
Submarine rift systems represent critical tectonic features whose accurate bathymetric characterization remains challenging yet essential for understanding plate boundary dynamics.

The United States Magnetotelluric Array and the National Impedance Map

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract The United States Magnetotelluric Array (USMTArray) data set, collected in the years 2006–2024, consists of more than 1,700 long‐period magnetotelluric stations covering the entirety of the contiguous United States on a quasi‐regular 70 km grid.

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Linking Stress Drop and Slip Heterogeneity to Assess Source Rupture Directivity for Earthquakes in Central Italy

Terra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 163-172, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In this study, we examine the relationship between Brune stress drop and fault slip where the stress drop is estimated using the Empirical Green's Function (EGF) method and slip distribution is derived from seismic and geodetic data inversion.

Recent Seismic Activity in the Azores Region [PDF]

, 2008
This seismic activity in the Azores Region is characterized by sequences of low-magnitude events, usually with epicenter off-shore. These seismic sequences are sometimes triggered by larger events, felt by the population, that could produce significant ...

3D Variations in Viscosity Reconcile the Strength of the Lower Mantle Inferred From Glacial Isostatic Adjustment and Mantle Convection

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract A widely accepted global model of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) is based on ICE‐6G ice loading and 1D‐viscosity model VM5a, a viscosity profile which remains at odds with mantle convection constraints such as from geoid modeling. We explore 3D‐viscosity variations in models of GIA and show that a model with lateral viscosity variations ...

The 2004 and 2005 Sumatra Earthquakes: Implications for the Lisbon earthquake [PDF]

, 2005
The Sumatra mega-earthquake of 26 December 2004 (Mw=9.3) was the strongest earthquake in the world since the 1964 Alaska earthquake and the fifth strongest since 1900. The earthquake occurred at the interface of the India and Burma plates and triggered a

Crustal Responses to the Destruction of Continental Lithosphere: Insights From Radial Anisotropy of the Tanlu Fault Zone, Eastern China

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Since the Mesozoic, much of the eastern China lithosphere was removed through thermo‐mechanical erosion and delamination, yet the effects on the overlying crust remain unclear. The Tanlu Fault Zone (TLFZ), the region's largest lithosphere‐scale weakness, offers a natural laboratory to assess crustal responses to lithospheric destruction.

Magnetic Signature of Oceanic Transform Faults and Their Fracture Zones

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Oceanic transform faults (TFs) offset mid‐ocean ridges, juxtaposing different‐aged crust and causing fracture zones (FZ) crossing ocean basins. Mounting evidence challenges the consensus that TFs are conservative plate boundaries, instead supporting the existence of extensional tectonics and two phases of magmatism.

Interseismic, Coseismic, and Early Postseismic Slip Associated With the 2025 Mw 8.8 Kamchatka Earthquake

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Unraveling the surface deformation and fault kinematics during the seismic cycle is crucial for understanding earthquake physics. Herein, we use geodetic and seismic observations to quantify the interseismic coupling, coseismic rupture, and postseismic afterslip associated with the 2025 Mw 8.8 Kamchatka earthquake.
