Research Spotlights
Research spotlights are plain-language summaries of recent articles published in AGU’s suite of 24 journals.
Faults in Oceanic Crust Contribute to Slow Seismic Waves
New high-sampling rate measurements of fluid pressures in oceanic crust reveal unresolved fractures and pathways for fluid flow.
Capturing How Fast the Arctic Ocean Is Gaining Fresh Water
A new analysis suggests that models do not accurately capture how fresh Arctic surface waters mix with deeper waters, contributing to underestimation of Arctic surface freshening.
Rock Structure Explains Slow Seismic Waves
New findings contrast with a prevailing hypothesis for low seismic velocity in subduction zones.
Faulting and Folding Signals in Seismic Data
A novel numerical model simulates folding in Earth’s crust throughout the earthquake cycle.
The Far-Reaching Consequences of Wildfire Smoke Plumes
Smoke from wildfires burning in the western United States carries harmful pollutants across the country.
Improving Coseismic Slip Measurements
A physics-based method estimates the duration of earthquakes’ coseismic phase and can help improve the precision of coseismic slip models and magnitude estimates.
Tubos de lava terrestres podrían ofrecer información sobre la vida extraterrestre
Una nueva investigación encuentra que Actinobacteria en cuevas de lava fijan carbón y sobreviven independientemente de aportes superficiales, ofreciendo una nueva perspectiva en la investigación de la vida fuera de la Tierra.
Air Pollution Poses Inequitable Health Risks in Washington, D.C.
Certain health risks are greatest in neighborhoods with higher proportions of people of color and lower levels of income and education.
