Effective elastic thickness in the Central Andes. Correlation to orogenic deformation styles and lower crust high-gravity anomaly [PDF]

, 2018
Global studies have assessed the importance of elastic thickness (Te) on orogenic evolution, showing that the style and nature of upper crustal shortening are influenced by the inherited lithospheric strength. Thus, pioneer works have identified that the

A Lithospheric Drip Triggered Green and Colorado River Integration

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The integration of the Green and Colorado Rivers shifted the continental drainage divide of North America, marking a key event in the hydrological and biogeographical evolution of the continent. Sedimentological and stratigraphic evidence shows that for integration to occur, the Green River likely cut through the Uinta Mountains between 8 and ...

Seamounts [PDF]

, 2015
Definition: Seamounts are literally mountains rising from the seafloor. More specifically, they are “any geographically isolated topographic feature on the seafloor taller than 100 m, including ones whose summit regions may temporarily emerge above sea ...

Implications for Oceanographic and Seafloor Geodetic Applications Due To Settling of Self‐Calibrating Bottom Pressure Recorders

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract Ocean bottom pressure recordings are a key observation for both ocean circulation and seafloor geodesy. New self‐calibrating instruments may solve a long‐time issue of instrument drift, allowing new high precision observations. However, instruments on the seafloor may settle over days to months, potentially contaminating results.

Crustal structure and rift flank uplift of the Adare Trough, Antarctica [PDF]

, 2005
The Adare Trough, located 100 km northeast of Cape Adare, Antarctica, represents the extinct third arm of a Tertiary spreading ridge between East and West Antarctica. It is characterized by pronounced asymmetric rift flanks elevated up to over 2 km above

Deep Sources of Recent Volcanism in Armenia Inferred From Ambient Noise Tomography

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract We perform Rayleigh wave ambient noise tomography to investigate crustal seismic velocity structure and sources of volcanism in Armenia. Armenia, a key part of the tectonically and volcanically active Caucasus‐Anatolia region, is actively being deformed by the ongoing Arabian‐Eurasian continental collision.

Sea Surface Temperature and Salinity Changes in the Easternmost Mediterranean During the Pre‐Evaporitic Messinian Controlled by the Restriction at Gibraltar

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract During the latest Miocene, the Mediterranean Basin was affected by extreme paleoceanographic and paleoenvironmental changes culminating with evaporite (gypsum and halite) formation during the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC: 5.97–5.33 Ma).

Imaging crustal structure in South-Central Costa Rica with Receiver Functions [PDF]

, 2010
An array of broadband seismometers transecting the Talamanca Range in southern Costa Rica was operated from 2005 until 2007. In combination with data from a short‐period network near Quepos in central Costa Rica, this data is analyzed by the receiver ...

A Novel Iterative Stable Algorithm for Global Moho Modeling in the Spherical Harmonic Domain

Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The Mohorovičić discontinuity (Moho) marks the boundary between Earth's crust and the underlying mantle, serving as a critical interface for understanding Earth's structure, composition, and geodynamic processes. This study introduces a novel iterative and stable algorithm for global Moho depth inversion.
