Updip rupture of the 2004 Sumatra earthquake extended by thick indurated sediments

Sediments accumulated in a subduction trench are usually unconsolidated and impede the updip propagation of fault rupture during an earthquake. Seismic images of the southern Sumatra–Andaman trench reveal blocks of consolidated sediment that may have enabled fault rupture in 2004 to propagate up fault dip, thus further seaward, increasing the tsunami magnitude.

Fifty thousand years of Arctic vegetation and megafaunal diet

By analysing plant and nematode DNA from sites all around the Arctic, it is shown that vegetation before about 10,000 years ago contained more forbs (non-graminoid herbaceous vascular plants) than previously believed, which changes our understanding about the functioning of the diverse northern ecosystem that existed at this time.

T cell responses can be generated to either pathogen infection or from priming with a vaccine. Here the authors compare T cell generation, phenotype and single cell transcriptome of participants vaccinated with a mpox vaccine or infected with the virus showing that the virus induced T cells showed more effective function and phenotype.

Using a suite of radiotracer experiments, this study reports active methanogenic and sulfate-reducing microbial populations with high cell-specific metabolic rates in deeply buried marine sediments from the Nankai Trough subduction zone, which reach temperatures up to 120 °C.
