Why do earthquake ruptures accelerate, slow down, or stop?

This study presents an analytical framework linking elastic energy release, fracture resistance, and seismic radiation to explain the physical constraints governing rupture propagation and velocity.

The proposed framework shows how rupture velocity is controlled by the balance between the energy available to drive fracture growth, the energy required to sustain rupture, and the energy dissipated through seismic-wave radiation.

By providing a physically grounded interpretation of rupture dynamics, the study offers a useful reference for understanding earthquake source processes and for evaluating more complex dynamic rupture models.

Advancing the representation of atmospheric data for future quantum-assisted weather forecasting applications.

Combining classical dimensionality reduction, quantum encoding and domain expertise offers a promising path toward representing complex spatial-temporal atmospheric patterns.

Using gridded meteorological data related to low-visibility events at Czech airports, this study evaluates different dimensionality reduction and quantum encoding strategies under limited qubit resources. The results highlight the importance of integrating domain expertise with classical and quantum approaches to preserve meaningful atmospheric structures and improve the representation of complex weather-related data.

These findings support future developments in quantum-assisted weather forecasting systems.

How can we identify where new investigations are really needed in studies?

A -based workflow identifies data gaps and supports efficient planning of Level 3 Seismic Microzonation (SM3) investigations.

In Seismic Microzonation studies, the distribution of geotechnical and geophysical investigations is often irregular and insufficient to fully represent subsurface variability. This challenge is particularly relevant in complex volcanic environments such as the Etnean area of eastern .

Using a network of Control Points and open-source GIS tools, the proposed methodology supports the identification of data gaps, the planning of new targeted investigations, and a more homogeneous spatial coverage of the study area. The workflow is fully reproducible and can be applied to Seismic Microzonation studies at a broader scale.

Integrating Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) and seismic networks improves earthquake location accuracy and enhances the detection of low-magnitude seismic events.

Using data collected during the DIVE ICDP drilling project in Northern Italy, researchers compared earthquake detection and localization obtained from DAS, conventional seismometers, and their combined use.

The results show that DAS can detect local earthquakes, including microseismic events not listed in official catalogs, while its integration with traditional seismic networks reduces location uncertainties and provides more robust event locations.

Recovering digital information from vintage subsurface seismic data.

Historical seismic archives contain valuable subsurface information, yet many legacy seismic reflection profiles remain available only as raster images.
In this new study, introduces an integrated open-source workflow in tQGIS to convert legacy raster seismic profiles into the SEG-Y format and recover data for new scientific applications.
By supporting the rescue and revitalization of historical seismic archives, the workflow enables the reuse of vintage seismic datasets for applications including modeling.

What defines a seismic swarm, and how has this concept evolved in modern seismology?
In a new article published in AG, Rodolfo Console, one of the leading figures in Italian seismology, in collaboration with Giuliana Mele, retraces more than a century of studies on earthquake swarms, from the earliest qualitative interpretations to modern statistical models that today seek to reinterpret one of the still not fully understood phenomena in seismology.

Machine learning significantly improves global foF2 prediction.

A new study published in Annals of Geophysics presents an interpretable XGBoost model trained using COSMIC-1 and COSMIC-2 radio occultation observations (2007–2023) for global ionospheric foF2 prediction.
The model successfully reproduces major ionospheric features and outperforms IRI-2020, NPDM, and Random Forest models, achieving substantially lower prediction errors, particularly at mid- and high latitudes.
SHAP analysis identifies the main physical drivers controlling the predictions, including latitude, local time, day of year, solar activity (F10.7), and longitude.

Data collected from 16 GNSS stations across between 2022 and 2024 reveal increasing ionospheric activity during the ascending phase of Solar Cycle 25 and its effects on signal delay and satellite positioning accuracy in low-latitude regions.
The new article, “GNSS Receiver Bias Model”, presents a receiver bias model for real-time monitoring and highlights the importance of localized ionospheric observations under dynamic space weather conditions.
