Supporting evidence — 4 representative gaps

• Hydrogeological Response to Low-Magnitude Seismicity: Fracture Sealing, Ground Deformation, and Lake Depletion in the Sikkim Himalaya (2026) · Hydrology · doi

  The hydrogeological response to repeated low-magnitude seismic events is poorly understood. There is a lack of integrated geoelectrical and remote sensing investigations in tectonically active mountainous terrains. The prevailing paradigm in earthquake hydrogeology may not fully explain the complex hydrogeological responses to seismic activity.

• Hydrometeorological phenomena detected through a citizen-science seismic network in Los Cabos (2024-2025) (2026) · Boletín de la Sociedad Geológica Mexicana · doi

  The relationship between hydrometeorological phenomena and seismic activity is not well understood. Prior studies have focused on tectonic seismicity, but the role of fluid-driven seismicity is not well characterized. The use of citizen-science collaboration and low-cost seismic stations is a novel approach.

• Hydrometeorological phenomena detected through a citizen-science seismic network in Los Cabos (2024-2025) (2026) · Boletín de la Sociedad Geológica Mexicana · doi

  Further studies are needed to understand the relationship between hydrometeorological phenomena and seismic activity. The use of citizen-science collaboration and low-cost seismic stations should be applied to other regions. The study highlights the importance of integrating meteorological, hydrological, and seismological observations.

  Further studies are needed to fully capture the complexity of the actual geological conditions. The development of more advanced numerical models and microseismic monitoring techniques is necessary. The study's findings should be validated through field experiments and case studies.
