Ready for real time: Performance of Global Navigation Satellite System in 2019 Mw 7.1 Ridgecrest, California, rapid response products Ready for real time: Performance of Global Navigation Satellite System in 2019 Mw 7.1 Ridgecrest, California, rapid response products
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) have undergone notable advancement in the last few decades, leading to the availability of a dataset with capabilities well beyond its original intended purpose. The proliferation of high‐rate (1 Hz or greater) GNSS receivers in areas of seismological interest now allows for routine consideration of dynamic earthquake ground motions, with...

Kinematic slip model of the July 8, 2021 M6.0 Antelope Valley, California, earthquake Kinematic slip model of the July 8, 2021 M6.0 Antelope Valley, California, earthquake
We present a kinematic slip model of the July 8, 2021 Antelope Valley earthquake from a finite-source inversion based on regional seismic waveforms and static offsets from GPS and InSAR. Seismic waveforms are employed at 6s dominant period out to 100 km from the epicenter, and the combined GPS and InSAR datasets cover the near field and far field out to ∼ 100 km and constrain the overall...

Photomosaics and logs associated with study of West Napa Fault at Ehlers Lane, north of Saint Helena, California Photomosaics and logs associated with study of West Napa Fault at Ehlers Lane, north of Saint Helena, California
The West Napa Fault has previously been mapped as extending ~45 kilometers (km) from northern Vallejo to southern Saint Helena, California, dominantly running along the western edge of Napa Valley. A zone of fault strands (some previously unmapped) along a ~15-km section of the fault ruptured during the 2014 magnitude 6.0 South Napa earthquake, illustrating the need for further...

Post-landing major element quantification using SuperCam laser induced breakdown spectroscopy Post-landing major element quantification using SuperCam laser induced breakdown spectroscopy
The SuperCam instrument on the Perseverance Mars 2020 rover uses a pulsed 1064 nm laser to ablate targets at a distance and conduct laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) by analyzing the light from the resulting plasma. SuperCam LIBS spectra are preprocessed to remove ambient light, noise, and the continuum signal present in LIBS observations. Prior to quantification, spectra are...

Seismic background noise levels across the continental United States from USArray Transportable Array: The influence of geology and geography Seismic background noise levels across the continental United States from USArray Transportable Array: The influence of geology and geography
Since 2004, the most complete estimate of background noise levels across the continental U.S. was attained using 61 broadband seismic stations to calculate power spectral density (PSD) probability density functions. To improve seismic noise estimates across the U.S., we examine vertical component seismic data from the EarthScope USArray Transportable Array seismic network that rolled...

The occurrence and hazards of great subduction zone earthquakes The occurrence and hazards of great subduction zone earthquakes
Subduction zone earthquakes result in some of the most devastating natural hazards on Earth. Knowledge of where great (moment magnitude M ≥ 8) subduction zone earthquakes can occur and how they rupture is critical to constraining future seismic and tsunami hazards. Since the occurrence of well-instrumented great earthquakes, such as the 2004 M9.1 Sumatra–Andaman and 2011 M9.1 Tohoku...

Drivers, dynamics and impacts of changing Arctic coasts Drivers, dynamics and impacts of changing Arctic coasts
Arctic coasts are vulnerable to the effects of climate change, including rising sea levels and the loss of permafrost, sea ice and glaciers. Assessing the influence of anthropogenic warming on Arctic coastal dynamics, however, is challenged by the limited availability of observational, oceanographic and environmental data. Yet, with the majority of permafrost coasts being erosive...

Portable optically stimulated luminescence age map of a paleoseismic exposure Portable optically stimulated luminescence age map of a paleoseismic exposure
The quality and quantity of geochronologic data used to constrain the history of major earthquakes in a region exerts a first-order control on the accuracy of seismic hazard assessments that affect millions of people. However, evaluations of geochronological data are limited by uncertainties related to inherently complex depositional processes that may vary spatially and temporally. To...

Alert optimization of the PLUM earthquake early warning algorithm for the western United States Alert optimization of the PLUM earthquake early warning algorithm for the western United States
We determine an optimal alerting configuration for the propagation of local undamped motion (PLUM) earthquake early warning (EEW) algorithm for use by the U.S. ShakeAlert system covering California, Oregon, and Washington. All EEW systems should balance the primary goal of providing timely alerts for impactful or potentially damaging shaking while limiting alerts for shaking that is too...

Long-term ocean observing for international capacity development around tsunami early warning Long-term ocean observing for international capacity development around tsunami early warning
The 2004 magnitude (M) 9.1 Sumatra-Andaman Islands earthquake in the Indian Ocean triggered the deadliest tsunami ever, killing more than 230,000 people. In response, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) established three additional Intergovernmental Coordination Groups (ICGs) for the Tsunami and Other Coastal Hazards Early Warning System: for...
