Coseismic damage of the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake consistent with Mohr–Coulomb failure
Enrico Milanese and Camilla Cattania
Geophysical Journal International, Volume 241, Issue 3, June 2025, Pages 1573–1586, https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggaf066
According to the classical Mohr–Coulomb–Anderson theory, faults form at an angle from the largest regional compressive stress that is approximately 30° for most rocks. However, real settings are more complex and faults often present orientations inconsistent with the angles predicted by the ...
Uncertainty quantification of FWI solutions using sequential local ensemble transform Kalman filter for full waveform data
Mina Spremić and others
Geophysical Journal International, Volume 241, Issue 3, June 2025, Pages 1648–1661, https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggaf128
Full waveform inversion (FWI) has enjoyed increased attention in the past decade, becoming the state of the art for estimating parameters influencing wave propagation in a medium. However, only a few recent emerging efforts have attempted to tackle the challenge of uncertainty quantification in ...
In-Situ Vp/Vs ratio variations in seismic swarms as indicator of magmatic processes: Fagradalsfjall volcanic activity, SW Iceland
Ali Masihi and Tomas Fischer
Geophysical Journal International, Volume 241, Issue 3, June 2025, Pages 1725–1739, https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggaf122
In this study, we applied the ‘ in-situ Vp/Vs method’ to monitor variations of seismic velocity ratio (Vp/Vs) within swarms, providing insights into eruption processes. This method, particularly effective in volcanic regions, estimates Vp/Vs by comparing P - and S -wave arrival times of closely ...
A stress model for nonlinear reservoir compaction and application to the post shut-in Groningen gas field
F M Aben and others
Geophysical Journal International, Volume 241, Issue 3, June 2025, Pages 1494–1517, https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggaf119
Seismic source models that use an elastic relation between pressure decrease, compaction and stress change have been shown to successfully reproduce induced seismicity in producing natural gas reservoirs undergoing differential compaction. However, this elastic relation is inconsistent with ...
A crustal thermal model of the conterminous United States constrained by multiple data sets: a Monte–Carlo approach
Siyuan Sui and others
Geophysical Journal International, Volume 241, Issue 3, June 2025, Pages 1711–1724, https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggaf118
The thermal structure of the continental crust plays a critical role in understanding its elastic and rheologic properties as well as its dynamic processes. Thermal parameter data sets on continental scales have been used to constrain the crustal thermal structure, including both the direct (e.g. ...
Seismic imaging of the Ecuadorian forearc and arc from joint ambient noise, local, and teleseismic tomography: catching the Nazca slab in the act of flattening
E E Rodríguez and others
Geophysical Journal International, Volume 241, Issue 3, June 2025, Pages 1552–1571, https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggaf120
The Ecuadorian Andes are a complex region characterized by accreted oceanic terranes driven by the ongoing subduction of the oceanic Nazca plate beneath South America. Present-day tectonics in Ecuador are linked to the downgoing plate geometry featuring the subduction of the aseismic, oceanic ...
Slow and progressive deformation of the Narlı pull-apart basin prior to the 2023 Mw7.8 Kahramanmaraş, Turkey earthquake
H Karabulut and others
Geophysical Journal International, Volume 241, Issue 3, June 2025, Pages 1679–1696, https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggaf108
The ∼300 km-long rupture of the 2023 February 6 Kahramanmaraş earthquake began in the Narlı section of the Karasu trough, a pull-apart basin sandwiched and sheared between the two major strike-slip faults of the region, the East Anatolian Fault (EAF) on the west and the Dead Sea Fault (DSF) on the ...
Designing full waveform inverse problems: a combined data and model approach
Arnaud Mercier and others
Geophysical Journal International, Volume 241, Issue 3, June 2025, Pages 1478–1493, https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggaf117
Full waveform inversion has the potential to provide high-resolution insights into subsurface structures. However, its adoption, particularly in 3-D multiparameter applications, has been limited by high computational costs. This study addresses this challenge by introducing an optimized ...
