Stable propagation of an ordered array of cracks during directional drying
, 2002 We study the appearance and evolution of an array of parallel cracks in a thin slab of material that is directionally dried, and show that the cracks penetrate the material uniformly if the drying front is sufficiently sharp.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.Abstract Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries, but some also strike within stable continental interiors. Although dominant causes of such intraplate earthquakes remain elusive, a prevailing hypothesis attributes intraplate stress and seismicity to variations in lithospheric thickness.

Evidence for Anthropogenic Surface Loading as Trigger Mechanism of the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake
, 2011 Two and a half years prior to China's M7.9 Wenchuan earthquake of May 2008, at least 300 million metric tons of water accumulated with additional seasonal water level changes in the Minjiang River Valley at the eastern margin of the Longmen Shan.

Splay Fault Permeability Governs Fluid–Structure Interaction in Accretionary Wedges
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.Abstract Interactions between upper plate deformation and plate interface seismicity in subduction zones remain poorly understood, but growing evidence indicates that fluid flow along splay faults modulates upper‐plate faulting. Field observations from two exhumed splay faults define end‐member scenarios where impermeable faults trap fluids in their ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.Abstract Accurate estimates of geothermal heat flow (GHF) are critical for predicting basal melting and identifying stable sites for ancient ice, yet GHF remains one of the least constrained boundary conditions for the Antarctic Ice Sheet. We evaluate nine published Antarctic GHF models against radar‐derived specularity content in the South Pole Basin (

Gravity-flow dominated sedimentation on the Buda paleoslope (Hungary): Record of Late Eocene continental escape of the Bakony unit [PDF]
, 1992 The Upper Eocene sequence of the Buda Hills consists of fluvial and shallow marine conglomerates, sandstones, bioclastic shallow-water limestone, marlstone and pelagic Globigerina marl.
