The authors introduce SPIDER, a scalable Bayesian framework for double‐difference hypocenter relocation that pairs a physics‑informed neural network Eikonal solver with Stochastic Gradient Langevin Dynamics to generate posterior samples jointly for entire catalogs. SPIDER explicitly whitens residual correlations that traditional formulations neglect, is designed for multi‑GPU parallelization, and is demonstrated on a synthetic catalog and three real catalogs from California and Japan, with proposed tools to analyze high‑dimensional posteriors. ...

Frequency shifts mainly reflect the very shallow layers, while borehole-referenced velocity changes represent a path-averaged perturbation that depends on borehole depth. Across stations, relative velocity reductions average ~12% for the 200–400 cm/s^2 PGA range (implying a shear modulus reduction of ~23%), with stronger nonlinear effects at sites with thicker sedimentary deposits and no clear correlation with VS30. ...

Two major tremor episodes occurred: one immediately after the August 2024 M7.0 earthquake and another three days before the January 2025 M6.7 event, with several tremors migrating alongside seismicity—suggesting slow‑slip transients promoted stress transfer along the plate boundary. Tremors clustered in fluid‑rich plate‑boundary zones and were absent in drained areas, indicating structural heterogeneity controls shallow slow‑earthquake dynamics and providing new insights into slow‑earthquake mechanics. ...

本日選文（共 6 篇）。 [809] DeepSubDAS：基於海底分布式聲學感測（DAS）資料的地震相位挑選器 DeepSubDAS: an earthquake phase picker from submarine distributed acoustic sensing data 期刊：GJI (OUP) — RSS Published：Mon, 09 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT DOI：10.1093/gji/ggag061 原文連結：連結 Summary (EN) Submarine Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) can address the scarcity of seismometers in oceanic regions, but land-trained models perform poorly on submarine data. This study develops a DeepLab v3–based machine learning model specifically for submarine DAS to detect seismic events and pick P- and S-waves, trained and validated on nearly 57 million manually and semi-automatically labelled records from multiple global submarine sites. The model is designed to handle different cable lengths, configurations and channel spacings, providing an adaptable tool for automated earthquake analysis and with potential to support real-time monitoring and tsunami early warning. ...

Three regimes are identified: small/ thin brittle zones where rupture requires exceeding rock strength, intermediate-sized asperities governed by both strength and energy criteria, and very large seismogenic structures that can fail under very low differential stress. By linking nucleation physics to statistical seismology and tectonics, the framework explains systematic variations in frequency–magnitude distributions (b-values) across settings and provides testable predictions for seismic catalogs and physics-based hazard models. ...

The site—home to the 3 km‑deep Lavey‑1 well drilled in 2022, which showed unexpectedly low flow despite temperatures above 120°C—lies in the narrow Rhône Valley with steep topography, strong lateral heterogeneity and elevated anthropogenic noise that complicate seismic imaging. The paper describes the network geometry, instrumentation and deployment logistics, assesses data completeness and noise characteristics, and presents initial ambient‑noise and earthquake recordings, reporting high data quality and spatial coverage and establishing a benchmark dataset for developing passive imaging techniques in complex Alpine environments. ...

本日選文（共 5 篇）。 [562] 2016 年熊本序列的前震後瞬態滑動：第四種前震模式 Post-Foreshock Transient Slip in the 2016 Kumamoto Sequence: A Fourth Foreshock Mode 期刊：Earth and Planetary Science Letters (ScienceDirect) DOI：10.1016/j.epsl.2026.119905 原文連結：連結 Summary (EN) Using high-rate GPS and tilt-meter time series, the authors invert the 2016 Kumamoto foreshock sequence and resolve an Mw ∼6.1 afterslip and an Mw ∼5.5 transient slow slip occurring between major foreshocks and the mainshock. The transient slow slip began about 9 hours after the M6.0 foreshock near the mainshock hypocenter and was accompanied by accelerated nearby seismicity, which appears to promote mainshock nucleation through quasi-static stress loading. The paper proposes a classification of foreshock-to-mainshock triggering based on the temporal evolution of seismic versus aseismic slip and identifies a distinct fourth foreshock evolution mode beyond the previously recognized “pre-slip,” “cascade,” and “rate-dependent cascade-up” modes. ...

The authors introduce a preliminary optimization-based scoring framework to rank sites by resource potential, engineering constraints, and geologic hazards. Results highlight trade-offs between resource accessibility and operational risk, identify locations that could serve as early testbeds for lunar mining demonstrations, and promote an engineering-geology approach to environmentally informed, transferable site-assessment planning. ...
