Abstract Monitoring tectonic tremors is crucial for understanding stress release in subduction zones and assessing megathrust earthquake risk. The Hyuga‐nada region, at the western edge of the Nankai Trough, Japan, provides a natural laboratory for investigating links among slow earthquakes, megathrust events, and complex subduction structures.

Abstract Landslides often generate long‐period seismic waves that propagate over large distances. During volcanic island collapses and their intrusion into seawater, seismic signals of >1 min periods are widely observed. The physical sources of these signals remain poorly understood due to complex landslide‐water interactions. In this paper, we perform

Surface Air Enrichment of Cosmogenic 35S at a Subtropical Site During the May 2024 Solar Superstorm
Abstract Cosmogenic radiosulfur (35S) is produced in the atmosphere by high‐energy particle interactions and serves as a sensitive tracer of stratospheric intrusions. In May 2024, an extreme solar storm provided a rare opportunity to examine atmospheric 35S responses to intense solar activity.

Record‐Wise Disaggregated Seismic Fragilities for Interconnected Systems
ABSTRACT Seismic risk assessment studies typically rely on fragility functions/curves to characterize the susceptibility of an asset or a class of assets to damage. These curves are essentially a summarization of responses evaluated on the basis of ground motions with record characteristics and intensities that may or may not be tied to a specific site
