Understanding the evolution of scoria cone morphology using multivariate models

Gabor Kereszturi, Pablo Grosse, Melody Whitehead, Marie-Noëlle Guilbaud, Drew T. Downs, Rina Noguchi, Matthieu Kervyn

2025, Communications Earth & Environment (6)

Scoria cones are the most abundant type of volcano in the Solar System. They occur in every tectonic setting and often overlap with human populations, yet our ability to provide complete geochronology within volcanic fields remains limited. Appropriate geochronology underpins the reconstruction of size-frequency distribution and is a key input...

Nathan C. Healey, Christopher P. Barber, Kelcy Smith, Rohan Mital, Jesslyn F. Brown, Charles Robison

2025, Frontiers in Remote Sensing (6)

The geometric transformation of remotely sensed imagery from one map projection to another necessitates a data resampling operation which alters the recorded values. The global Landsat archive is made available in the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection system which preserves geographic shape across small area but introduces small errors in...

An empirical Green’s function approach for isolating directivity effects in earthquake ground-motion amplitudes

Grace Alexandra Parker, Annemarie S. Baltay Sundstrom, Evan Tyler Hirakawa

2025, Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America (115) 2336-2354

In this study, we apply an empirical Green’s function (eGf) method within a ground‐motion modeling framework to mitigate trade‐offs between source, path, and site effects. Many physical processes contribute to spatial variations in observed ground motions, including earthquake radiation pattern, directivity, variable path attenuation, and site effects. Current nonergodic ground‐motion...

Do Graviquakes exist?

L. Malagnini, Dreger D.., Thomas E. Parsons, G. Valensise, A. Michelini, G. De Natale

2025, Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America (115) 2073-2095

The “Graviquake” model, proposed in 2015 as an alternative to the elastic dislocation model, posits that normal faults are passive features dominated by coseismic gravitational collapse into a dilated crustal wedge, and that normal faulting is fundamentally distinct from strike‐slip and reverse faulting. Developed using finite‐element modeling before the 2016...

A multistate capture-recapture model to estimate reproduction of North Atlantic right whales
