The Mechanism of Tidal Triggering of Earthquakes at Mid-Ocean Ridges

Christopher H. Scholz, Yen Joe Tan, Fabien Albino

Evidence for the triggering of earthquakes by tides has been largely lacking for the continents but detectable in the oceans where the tides are larger. By far the strongest tidal…

Evolution of 21st Century Sea-level Rise Projections

Andra J. Garner, Jeremy L. Weiss, Adam Parris +4

The modern era of scientific global-mean sea-level rise (SLR) projections began in the early 1980s. In subsequent decades, understanding of driving processes has improved, and new…

Axial Seamount: Periodic tidal loading reveals stress dependence of the earthquake size distribution (b value)

Y. J. Tan, F. Waldhauser, M. Tolstoy +1

Earthquake size-frequency distributions commonly follow a power law, with the b value often used to quantify the relative proportion of small and large events. Laboratory experimen…

Performance of a simple proxy for U.S. cloud-to-ground lightning

Michael K. Tippett, Chiara Lepore, William J. Koshak +2

The product of convective available potential energy (CAPE) and precipitation rate has previously been used as a proxy for cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning flash counts in climate ch…

Persistence of Strong Silica-Enriched Domains in the Earth's Lower Mantle

Maxim D. Ballmer, Christine Houser, John W. Hernlund +2

The composition of the lower mantle comprising 56% of Earth's volume remains poorly constrained. Among the major elements, Mg/Si ratios ranging from 0.91.1, such a…
