Continent‐Side Paleo‐Rift Structure in the Western East Sea (Sea of Japan) and Linkage Between Moho Uplift and Mountain Range Formation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract The continental‐side paleo‐rift structure in the east‐central Korean Peninsula is investigated using joint inversion of receiver functions and surface‐wave dispersions based on dense seismic networks. The joint inversion analysis provides precise constraints on crustal thickness and VP/VS ${V}_{P}/{V}_{S}$ ratios, and high‐resolution 3‐D shear‐

Ancient Mars Climate With a Polar Ocean and Ice Sheet Dynamics

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract In this article, we study the conditions required to maintain a stable ocean on Mars 3 Ga using a new suite of simulations. These simulations couple a 3D Global Climate Model with ocean dynamics and ice sheet flow. The model includes the main processes of the atmosphere/hydrosphere/cryosphere to investigate Mars' ancient climate.

Flexural Development in the Foreland Basin Adjacent to Northern Oman‐UAE Mountain Belt: Effect of Lithospheric Weakening

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Inception of obduction is a rare phenomenon in the Wilson cycle and requires specific prerequisites to transfer relatively high‐density oceanic lithosphere over the less‐dense continental lithosphere. The world's famous Semail ophiolite belt developed during the Late Cretaceous, when Neo‐Tethyan oceanic lithosphere obducted onto the rifted ...

Stratigraphic method of eustatic quantifications: a sea level curve based on Jurassic-Cretaceous strata of the Russian Platform [PDF]

, 1993
Two types of sea level are presently defined: relative and eustatic. Relative sea level (RSL) is the sea surface elevation relative to some local land surface.

Adjoint models of mantle convection with seismic, plate motion, and stratigraphic constraints: North America since the Late Cretaceous [PDF]

, 2009
We apply adjoint models of mantle convection to North America since the Late Cretaceous. The present-day mantle structure is constrained by seismic tomography and the time-dependent evolution by plate motions and stratigraphic data (paleoshorelines ...

Evidence for an Early Formation of Serenitatis Basin at 4.25 Ga Shifts Lunar Chronology

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 18, 28 September 2025.
Abstract Troctolite sample 76535, collected in Serenitatis basin during Apollo 17, formed at least 50 km deep, experienced maximum shock pressures of 6 GPa, and has a 40Ar/39Ar excavation age of 4.25 Ga. Previous work attributed 76535 to the South Pole‐Aitken (SPA) basin, presumably dating the SPA‐impact and constraining lunar bombardment history. Here

Effects of the Last Quaternary Glacial Forebulge on Vertical Land Movement, Sea‐Level Change, and Lithospheric Stresses

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract A glacial forebulge is a bending‐related upheaval of the lithosphere outside a glaciated area that co‐occurs to the depression of the lithosphere below an ice sheet. The forebulge of the last glaciation attracted attention over more than one century, but quantitative descriptions on the geometry of the forebulge are rare.

Altimetry data and the elastic stress tensor of subduction zones [PDF]

The stress field in the lithosphere caused by the distribution of density anomalies associated to the geoidal undulations observed by the GEOS-3 and SEASAT Earth satellites in the Tonga region was studied.

Maximum-likelihood estimation of lithospheric flexural rigidity, initial-loading fraction, and load correlation, under isotropy

, 2013
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.

Thermomechanical Analysis of the Louisville Seamount Chain: Implications for Late Cretaceous Pacific Plate Evolution

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract We calculated elastic thickness (Te), flexural deflection, and gravity anomalies of the oceanic lithosphere beneath 14 seamounts of the Louisville Seamount Chain to investigate seamount formation timing and tectonic settings. Using dense core modeling to approximate seamount mass, we compared Te estimates with plate age at loading time.
