Insights Into a Low Angle Normal Fault From a 10-Year-Long High-Resolution Earthquake Catalog: The Alto Tiberina Fault Case Study (Northern Apennines, Italy) J. Geophys. Res. Solid Earth (IF 3.9) Pub Date : 2025-02-28
Samer Bagh, Raffele Di Stefano, Adriano Gualandi, Debora Pantaleo, Carlo Calamita, Chiara Ladina, Simone Marzorati, Lauro ChiaraluceThe Alto Tiberina fault (ATF) in the Northern Apennines of Italy is one of the most extensively monitored low-angle normal faults (LANFs) worldwide, hosting The Alto Tiberina Near Fault Observatory (TABOO-NFO). The down-dip geometry, mechanical properties, and kinematics of the ATF have been revised based on a new 10-year (2010–2020) earthquake catalog. The dense configuration of TABOO-NFO seismic

Kinematic and Dynamic Source Parameters of Induced Earthquakes at St. Gallen Geothermal Field, Switzerland J. Geophys. Res. Solid Earth (IF 3.9) Pub Date : 2025-02-27
Vincenzo Convertito, Raffaella De MatteisThe exploitation of the St. Gallen geothermal reservoir in Switzerland induced a seismic sequence lasting from July 2013 to October 2013. The sequence was characterized by 346 earthquakes located at a depth ranging between 4.4 and 4.7 km, having magnitude ranging between (−1.2, 3.5). We study the seismic source properties of the induced earthquakes by implementing both the individual earthquake displacement

Resolving Mantle Composition Suggests a Warmer East Antarctic Mantle J. Geophys. Res. Solid Earth (IF 3.9) Pub Date : 2025-02-27
Lu Li, Alan R. A. Aitken, Lutz Gross, Andrea CoddAntarctica's geothermal heat flow and its glacial isostatic adjustment response are critical to understand ice sheet stability. These demand a knowledge of the temperature of the Antarctic lithosphere, but challenges remain in resolving mantle thermomechanical properties. Here we use a two-stage process to resolve mantle temperature and composition. First, we derive an optimized relationship between

Linking Visco-Elasto-Plastic Modeling of Recent Slab Deformation to Present-Day Deep Earthquakes J. Geophys. Res. Solid Earth (IF 3.9) Pub Date : 2025-02-27
Rebecca A. Fildes, Magali I. BillenDeep earthquakes require the cold temperatures found in sinking lithosphere to store elastic strain. It has also been proposed that sufficiently high rates of deformation are also required, regardless of the failure mechanism. However, this strain-rate hypothesis is based on generic time-dependent and visco-plastic subduction models, positing a challenge for direct comparisons to present-day earthquake

Unveiling Spectral Induced Polarization Responses of ZVI-AC-Sand Mixtures in Groundwater Remediation J. Geophys. Res. Solid Earth (IF 3.9) Pub Date : 2025-02-27
Xinmin Ma, Nimrod Schwartz, Chen Chao, Jing Li, Teng Xia, Alex Furman, Deqiang MaoThe long-term performance of permeable reactive barriers may diminish due to oxidation, adsorption on the particle surfaces, and pore space clogging. Offering warnings about performance reduction through geophysical techniques enables timely remedial measures. The impact of volume content of conductive particles, particle size, and pore water conductivity on the spectral induced polarization (SIP)

Stratigraphy-Induced Localization of Microseismicity During CO2 Injection in Illinois Basin J. Geophys. Res. Solid Earth (IF 3.9) Pub Date : 2025-02-25
N. Bondarenko, Y. Podladchikov, S. Williams-Stroud, R. MakhnenkoSubsurface fluid injection stimulates complex hydromechanical interaction, necessitating the integration of geomechanical data across spatial and temporal scales to consider the sophisticated behavior. Induced seismic response is usually associated with the complex reservoir architecture and pre-existing features that are three-dimensional, such as local stratigraphy, fractures, faults, and other discontinuities

Crystal-Rich Magma Is Solid-Like and Liquefies When Deformed J. Geophys. Res. Solid Earth (IF 3.9) Pub Date : 2025-02-25
Atsuko Namiki, Konan Saito, Satoshi Okumura, Masato Hoshino, Kentaro Uesugi, Kazuhiro Tsukada, Natsuko Takagi, Michael MangaThe rheology of highly crystalline magma regulates its mobility, which may, in turn, determine the occurrence and styles of volcanic eruptions. We measured the rheology of high-temperature magma with a basaltic-andesite composition to document the properties that govern the transition from solid-like to liquid-like behavior. The measured elasticity in the solid-like regime is three orders of magnitude

Dynamics of the 2021 Fagradalsfjall Eruption (Iceland) Revealed by Volcanic Tremor Patterns J. Geophys. Res. Solid Earth (IF 3.9) Pub Date : 2025-02-25
Jean Soubestre, Corentin Caudron, Oleg Melnik, Thomas Lecocq, Claude Jaupart, Nikolai M. Shapiro, Cyril Journeau, Yeşim Çubuk-Sabuncu, Kristín JónsdóttirCo-eruptive volcanic tremor during the 2021 Fagradalsfjall eruption in Iceland (19 March–18 September 2021) is characterized using seismic and visual data recorded close to the eruption site and across the Reykjanes Peninsula. An automatic seismic network-based approach reveals several tremor patterns associated with seven phases of the eruption, including (a) continuous tremor located beneath the

Microseismicity in the Large-N Swath-D Network: Revealing Seismic Sequences and Active Faults in the Eastern Alps J. Geophys. Res. Solid Earth (IF 3.9) Pub Date : 2025-02-23
Gesa M. Petersen, Laurens J. Hofman, Jörn Kummerow, Simone CescaUniformly spaced large-N seismic networks like the Swath-D (2017–2019), a densified part of the AlpArray initiative, provide unmatched opportunities to study microseismic activity and fault structures. Here, we show how the combined analysis of spatially and temporally clustered seismicity, precise relocations, waveform-based clustering, and moment tensor solutions for 67 earthquakes (1.1
