Traditionally, tremors were identified by cross-correlating envelope waveforms between seismic stations. However, this method has struggled to differentiate tremor signals from earthquakes and sometimes missed tremors during active tremor episodes. Addressing these challenges is crucial for monitoring tremors in seismically active regions, such as the Japan Trench. We developed a machine learning-based tremor monitoring system using a dense network of cable-type ocean-bottom seismometers (S-net) in the Japan Trench. The system analyzed continuous waveforms recorded from August 2016 to August 2024. Our analysis detected seven times more tremors than the previous study using envelope cross-correlation. The newly identified tremors expanded the known spatial distribution of tremor activity, both along the strike and dip, revealing a complementary spatial relationship between tremors and earthquakes. Additionally, our catalog improved temporal resolution, uncovering spatiotemporal patterns of tremors synchronized with slow slip events. Seismic energy rates of tremors were calculated, showing spatial variations along the strike and dip, with higher rates near asperities of large earthquakes. A positive correlation between energy rates and recurrence intervals was found, suggesting that these spatial variations reflect frictional heterogeneities on plate boundaries. The enhanced spatiotemporal resolution of our tremor catalog provides valuable insights into the relationship between slow and fast earthquakes.</p>","PeriodicalId":15864,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth","volume":"130 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2025JB031348","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144179418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By performing dynamic rupture simulations on step-overs in both homogeneous and bi-material media, we demonstrate that the bi-material effect significantly influences the critical jump distance, the maximum jump step width that a rupture can jump across. In the positive direction, which is defined as the direction of motion of the softer material, the critical jump distance is greatly enlarged, especially on the compliant side, because of the existence of a tensile normal stress pulse and large slip pulse. In the homogeneous case the rupture can jump only a 1 km releasing step and is stopped by a 1 km restraining step. In contrast, with a 20% material contrast in wave velocity, the critical jump distance increases to 11 km for restraining steps, and 2 km for releasing steps. In the negative direction, supershear rupture is easier to generate because of stress perturbation beyond the rupture front. Besides the Burridge-Andrews supershear, direct-transition supershear can also be noticed in the negative direction under certain condition. However, the critical jump distance in the negative direction is still suppressed because of the dominant bi-material effect over the supershear effect.

We also introduce a simplified model of bubble coalescence to include in the analysis the ascent dynamics of low viscosity magmas. Our test results indicate that high crystal content and low- and high-end water contents favor effusive eruptions.

We used a 1D steady-state numerical model for magma ascent to study the driving processes behind the eruptive style transitions. The model considers the complex and non-linear interdependence among the major processes occurring during magma ascents, such as temperature and viscosity evolution, non-ideal gas behavior, outgassing, and disequilibria in crystallization and volatile exsolution. Input parameters of the simulations (inlet pressure and temperature, water and CO<sub>2</sub> content, initial phenocrystal content) are constrained by analytical studies and empirical data. Simulation outputs are compared with field observations and analytical data. Results suggest that a change in the degree of coupling between gas and melt might have caused the eruptive style change. We hypothesize that a change in the conduit geometry triggered this shift. One possible explanation could be a shallow branching of the conduit, which leads to variable magma and gas partitioning between ramifications. Another possible cause could be the temporary partial collapse of the conduit walls near the surface, which might have generated an acceleration of magma, reducing volatile outgassing, increasing magmatic strain, and consequently triggering the observed transition to explosive activity.</p>","PeriodicalId":15864,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth","volume":"130 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024JB029692","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144165706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To investigate the mantle dynamics beneath these late Cenozoic basalts, we aim to investigate the high-resolution lithospheric structure of the BGB region. Our study utilizes data from 162 seismic stations, including three temporarily deployed dense arrays, to investigate the seismic structural features of the Moho and Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundary (LAB). P-to-S receiver function analysis reveals a significantly thinned crust with high <i>Vp/Vs</i> ratios beneath the late Cenozoic basalt regions, coinciding with the occurrence of deep crustal earthquakes. Using S-to-P receiver functions, a shallow, strong, and broad LAB is observed beneath the BGB, implying the presence of ponded partial melt. These seismic structural features indicate that the mantle upwelling beneath the BGB likely interacted with the crust, leading to mafic crustal composition, deep earthquakes, and magmatic eruptions.

Exhibiting coincidence with volcanic eruptions, DLPs are recognized as potential precursors to volcanic activities yet their detection remains challenging. Meanwhile, their relation to volcanic activities and specific source mechanisms remains uncertain. In this study, we first classify earthquakes into volcano-tectonic (VTs) and long-period (LPs) earthquakes at 10 Alaska volcanoes automatically by the consistent differences in frequency index. The co-location of both VTs and DLPs implies that the differences in their frequency content mainly arise from source effects. We then analyze 12 years of continuous waveforms by template matching and detect 5,421 new DLPs. Few potential repeating DLPs are identified, indicating their source processes are primarily non-repetitive. Detections of mantle DLPs and positive correlations between DLPs and volume change rate in the magma reservoir support the involvement of magmatic activities in some DLP sources, though there is limited correlation in DLP depth distribution with magmatic water content and kinematic parameters of plate motion. In addition, since only ∼17% of DLP bursts correlate with eruptions, with ∼8% occurring simultaneously with VT bursts, this suggests that most DLP bursts at Alaska volcanoes are not directly linked to shallow volcanic unrest.

By focusing on nonlinear elastic and hyperelastic deformations, we incorporate acoustoelasticity into the traditional Hudson and Padé–Hudson models of penny-shaped ellipsoidal cracks to describe the coupling of fracture- and stress-induced anisotropies. The resulting acoustoelastic Hudson model (AHM) and Padé AHM can be used to describe the stress-dependent anisotropy of fractured rocks with varying crack densities.
