Aftershocks Reveal Coseismic Rupture of Megathrust Earthquakes

by Agnes Helmstetter 28 July 202221 July 2022

More accurate aftershock zones reveal that the rupture areas of megathrust Aleutian–Alaska earthquakes are larger than we thought and partly overlap, in contradiction with the seismic gap hypothesis.

Landfalling Hurricanes Intensify Due to Coastal Downwelling

by Suzana Camargo 26 July 202221 July 2022

Hurricane winds can lead to coast downwelling, which brings warmer surface water near the coast and can contribute to the intensification of the landfalling hurricane.

A Unique Glimpse at Sediment Erosion and Deposition by Wind

by Valeriy Ivanov 21 July 202221 July 2022

The Lut Desert in Iran is an exceptional natural laboratory to study how wind moves sediment across the landscape. A new study quantifies erosional and depositional sediment fluxes of the desert.

Ceres: Missing Craters, Crust Thickness Variation by Interior Convection

by Bethany Ehlmann 18 July 202225 July 2022

Models show that several puzzling features about Ceres’ topography, gravity anomalies, and crater size distribution may be explained by asymmetric hemispherical convection due to radiogenic heating.
