Early burst of Tibetan Plateau vortices increases extreme precipitation over Tibetan Plateau in early spring

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
Abstract Tibetan Plateau vortices (TPVs) are key drivers of precipitation over the Tibetan Plateau (TP), triggering heavy precipitation both locally and in downstream regions. This work reveals that an early burst of TPVs significantly enhances the extreme precipitation over the TP in early spring.

High‐Resolution Satellite Imagery Mapping of the Surface Rupture and Slip Distribution of the Sagaing Fault in the 28 March 2025 Mw 7.7 Earthquake, Myanmar

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract On 28 March 2025, a Mw 7.7 earthquake occurred on the Sagaing Fault in Myanmar. Security constraints prevented timely field investigations on its surface rupture, hindering analysis of seismotectonics and rupture dynamics. Using high‐resolution satellite imagery, we mapped a ∼420 km surface rupture and measured 540 dextral offsets, revealing ...

Origins of Precipitation in the World's Water Towers

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract High‐mountain systems act as the planet's vital water towers, sustaining freshwater supplies for billions of people. Climate change is exacerbating hydrological imbalances in these regions, yet the moisture sources maintaining their precipitation—the primary water input—remain poorly quantified.

Elevated Asthenospheric Temperature Driving the Partial Melting of Enriched Lithospheric Mantle Feeding the DM‐EM1 Mixing‐Type Magmatism of the Jingpohu Volcano in Eastern NE China: Evidence From Teleseismic P‐Wave Attenuation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract The origin of a binary‐mixing of DM and EM1 sources for the Cenozoic intraplate volcanism in eastern Northeast China is yet unclear. Seismic attenuation imaging is a tool that can shed light on this question. Here we present the first map of teleseismic P‐wave attenuation across Northeast China.

Insights into the 3D thermal structure of interplate earthquakes in the Colombia–Ecuador subduction zone

Earth and Planetary Physics
Throughout the 20th century, several large megathrust earthquakes were observed in the Colombia–Ecuador subduction zone which widely ruptured plate interfaces, causing considerable damage and loss of life.
