Sedimentation and subsidence history of the Lomonosov Ridge [PDF]
During the first scientific ocean drilling expedition to the Arctic Ocean (Arctic Coring Expedition [ACEX]; Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 302), four sites were drilled and cored atop the central part of the Lomonosov Ridge in the Arctic ...

Io's Long‐Wavelength Topography as a Probe for a Subsurface Magma Ocean
We investigated how spatial variations in tidal heating affect Io's isostatic topography at long wavelengths. The long‐wavelength relief is less than the 0.3 km uncertainty in Io's global shape. Assuming Airy isostasy, degree‐2 topography

Challenges and Opportunities for National‐Scale Projections of Future Coastal Landscape Change
Abstract Local to global scale projections of future coastal landscape change are essential to improve land and resource management decisions that aim to prepare for and reduce risk exposure to impending coastal hazards. However, the availability of actionable knowledge is often limited due to the complexity of drivers of change, their consequences ...

Fault Friction, Plate Rheology, and Mantle Torques From a Global Dynamic Model of Neotectonics
Abstract Improvements in software, parallel computing, global data sets, and laboratory flow‐laws help to develop the global Earth5 thin‐shell finite‐element model of Bird et al. (2008, https://doi.org/10.1029/2007jb005460) into a benchmark study. All experiments confirm that modeled faults (other than megathrusts) have low effective friction of 0.085 ±

Bioerosional scars made by limpets (Patella) on a cliff in Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland, indicate a Mid‐Holocene RSL of +7.8±0.55 m relative to local mid‐tide level today. This is higher than previous empirical data for the region and extrapolated levels from raised shorelines in Scotland but consistent with some recent GIA models.

Crustal structure and tectonic setting of the south central Andes from gravimetric analysis [PDF]
En el presente trabajo, a partir de datos gravimétricos terrestres, se preparó una carta de anomalías de Bouguer, la cual fue adecuadamente filtrada a fin de separar efectos gravimétricos someros y profundos.

Abstract As global climate change intensifies, hurricane‐induced storm surges are becoming more frequent and severe. While Global Navigation Satellite System‐Interferometric Reflectometry (GNSS‐IR) is widely used to monitor sea level variations, its capability to detect rapid and extreme events remains limited.

Topography and gravity are geophysical fields whose joint statistical structure derives from interface-loading processes modulated by the underlying mechanics of isostatic and flexural compensation in the shallow lithosphere.

A moderate melting model for the Vøring margin (Norway) based on structural observations and a thermo-kinematical modelling: Implication for the meaning of the lower crustal bodies [PDF]
High P-wave velocities (7.1-7.8 km/s) lower crustal bodies (LCBs) imaged along volcanic margins are commonly interpreted as plume and breakup-related thick mafic underplating.

Describing the Global Gravity Field of Mars With Lithospheric Flexure and Deep Mantle Flow
Abstract The volcanic complex Tharsis Region on Mars is known for its numerous volcanoes on top of the crust, elevated topography (doming), and a long‐wavelength gravity anomaly correlated with the region. Flexural modeling of the lithosphere has commonly been used to understand the relationship between observed topography, crustal structure, and ...
