Insights into tectonic hazards since the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami
In 2004, an earthquake of moment magnitude Mw 9.1–9.3 ruptured over 1,500 km of the Sunda megathrust under the Indian Ocean, produ…

Variation in slip behaviour along megathrusts controlled by multiple physical properties
Megathrusts, faults at the plate interface in subduction zones, exhibit substantial spatiotemporal variability in their slip behaviour. Many previo…
Shifting melt composition linked to volcanic tremor at Cumbre Vieja volcano
Forecasting the onset, evolution and end of volcanic eruptions relies on interpretation of monitoring data—particularly seismic signals, such as …
Long-lived partial melt beneath Cascade Range volcanoes
Quantitative estimates of magma storage are fundamental to evaluating volcanic dynamics and hazards. Yet our understanding of subvolcanic magmatic …
Annual-scale variability in both the rotation rate and near surface of Earth’s inner core
The inner core has been inferred to change its rotation rate or shape over years to decades since the discovery of temporal variability in seismic …
Ocean-bottom seismometers reveal surge dynamics in Earth’s longest-runout sediment flows
Turbidity currents carve Earth’s deepest canyons, form Earth’s largest sediment deposits, and break seabed telecommunications cables. Directly …
The 2023 Türkiye-Syria earthquake disaster was exacerbated by an atmospheric river
Strong earthquakes in mountain landscapes can trigger widespread slope failures, initiating chains of multiple hydro-geomorphic hazards. These impa…
