Summary: The paper introduces a decentralized Gaussian beam time-reverse imaging (GB-TRI) algorithm that can be incorporated with distributed sensors to detect and locate underground microseismic events, reducing the usage of computational resources and communication bandwidth of the network. After in-situ distributed computation, the final real-time location result is generated and delivered.

Summary: By analyzing the microseismicity induced by blasting at the underground powerhouse of the Baihetan Hydropower Station, it was found that the blast-induced risk areas are mainly concentrated in the downstream sidewall of the powerhouse. Real-time MS monitoring can provide data reference for the dynamic optimization of on-site construction schemes during the excavation process.

Summary: Research on non-double-couple (NDC) components in earthquakes is important for understanding true source processes. The general-dislocation (GD) model provides better constraints than the moment-tensor (MT) model, especially for small magnitude earthquakes like microearthquakes. By developing specific wave synthesis and inversion methods for the GD model, novel perspectives are offered for studying NDC mechanisms in hydraulic fracturing-induced microearthquakes.

Summary: Seismic damage patterns of underground structures reveal the significant effects of vertical seismic actions. In this study, the impact of vertical seismic effect on the seismic safety of underground structures was examined experimentally and theoretically, providing important shaking table test results. A shallow buried subway station-tunnel junction structure was designed based on the Buckingham similarity law, and a shaking table test was conducted to investigate the vertical seismic effect on underground structures. The vertical wave propagation laws of the free field, model structure, and soil-structure interaction (SSI) system were analyzed comparatively. Numerical simulations considering the soil's nonlinear behaviors under vertical loads were performed using the equivalent linear analysis method and validated with the test records. The findings suggest that the vertical seismic action mainly functions as an inertia force inducing high-frequency vibrations and significant vertical relative deformations within the underground structure.

Summary: Advanced computing facilities accelerate research in highly computational seismic imaging techniques, which are vital in hydrocarbon exploration. Full-waveform tomography (FWT) is more suitable for high-resolution imaging compared to conventional traveltime tomography, and frequency overlapping is more favorable for achieving reasonable results in multiscale imaging.

Summary: This study presents a detailed characterization of seismic noise in Limburg, Netherlands using passive and active seismic methods. The results reveal a layered geology in the region with a soft-soil to hard-rock transition occurring at a shallow depth. The findings suggest that the surface and underground seismic noise are effectively dampened in the Limburg region due to the geology.

Summary: Understanding the source mechanisms of induced earthquakes is crucial for distinguishing them from natural earthquakes. This study aims to identify the most effective source mechanism parameters for distinguishing induced earthquakes and explore the possibility of retrieving them from limited station data. By inverting direct waves recorded at one, two, three, and seven stations, we calculated versions of the seismic moment tensor and focal mechanisms for the induced earthquake near Fox Creek, Alberta, Canada. The versions were practically identical and similar to those obtained in a previous study, providing further evidence for the reliability of our method. The longer duration of the source time function for the Alberta event may be a specific feature of induced earthquakes that can be used to differentiate them from tectonic earthquakes.

Summary: The combined study of paleostress and geomorphic analyses reveals a multiphase deformation history in the region around the Pontarlier strike-slip fault zone, characterized by strike-slip and extensional/compressional stress regimes. Geomorphic clues, such as anomalous zones of high gradient and right-lateral offset of river channels, provide new insights into Late Cenozoic strike-slip reactivation of inherited extensional structures. The lack of outcrop of Cenozoic rocks in the region makes this complementary approach essential for unraveling the tectonic evolution.

Summary: The pre-existing faults in the mechanical basement play a crucial role in controlling deformation in thin-skinned fold-and-thrust belts. The presence of basement steps leads to deformation localization and influences the evolution of structures. These findings provide insights into the deformation processes of the Earth's crust.

Summary: Lake Afdera is a hypersaline endorheic lake located in the Danakil Depression, with an average depth of 20.9 m and a total volume of 2.4 km(3). It is the deepest known lake in Afar and the lowest point in the Danakil Depression. The lake is part of two transfer zones and shows evidence of an incipient transform fault in the Afar depression.

Summary: The Greater Caucasus doubly-vergent orogenic system originated from the collision between the Neotethys Ocean and the Eurasian continent, forming a bivergent orogenic wedge. The pro-wedge is located in the Transcaucasian Kartli foreland fold-and-thrust belt, while the retro-wedge is located in the North Caucasian Terek-Sunzha foreland fold-and-thrust belt.
