The Dynamics and Surface Signal of Slab Break‐Off in Continental Settings: Insights From 3D Numerical Modeling

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The fate of an oceanic plate that has been subducted over an extended period of time involves slab break‐off, which can occur either simultaneously across the entire slab or locally, creating a tear that propagates sub‐horizontally. These processes are thought to explain various geological observations, such as the evolution of foreland basins,

An outline of Proto-Indo-European [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Indo-European is a branch of Indo-Uralic which was radically transformed under the influence of a North Caucasian substratum when its speakers moved from the area north of the Caspian Sea to the area north of the Black Sea (cf. Kortlandt 2007b).

Fault Volume Digital Twin to Reproduce the Full Slip Spectrum, Scaling, and Statistical Laws

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Seismological and geodetic observations of fault zones reveal diverse slip dynamics, scaling, and statistical laws. Existing mechanisms explain some but not all of these behaviors. We show that incorporating an off‐fault damage zone—characterized by distributed fractures surrounding a main fault—can reproduce many key features observed in ...

From bridewealth to dowry? A Bayesian estimation of ancestral states of marriage transfers in Indo-European groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Significant amounts of wealth have been exchanged as part of marriage settlements throughout history. Although various models have been proposed for interpreting these practices, their development over time has not been investigated systematically.

Hydromagnesite Precipitation in an Ultramafic‐Hosted Alkaline Lake: Insights From Lake Salda for Jezero Crater, Mars

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Lake Salda (SW Turkey) is one of the most compelling terrestrial analogs for Jezero Crater on Mars due to its highly alkaline, Mg‐rich waters and hydromagnesite‐forming microbialites. This study integrates hydrochemical measurements, saturation‐index modeling, SEM–TEM imaging, and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis to disentangle the biotic and ...

Measures of lexical distance between languages

open access: yes, 2009
The idea of measuring distance between languages seems to have its roots in the work of the French explorer Dumont D'Urville \cite{Urv}. He collected comparative words lists of various languages during his voyages aboard the Astrolabe from 1826 to 1829 ...

Changing Regional Land Surface Albedos Alter the Planetary Albedo During the Twenty‐First Century

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The top‐of‐atmosphere (TOA) albedo controls the amount of solar energy absorbed by Earth and is influenced by the reflectivity of both the atmosphere and surface. With considerable changes in land use over the past few decades it is reasonable to question whether a perturbed surface albedo has influenced TOA albedo over the corresponding ...

Integration and Multi‐Level Governance in Turkey's Small Towns: An Actor Centred Analysis1

open access: yesInternational Migration, Volume 64, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines how refugee integration is governed in Turkey's small towns, where strong centralization, local discretion, and informal practices intersect. Drawing on an actor‐centred multi‐level governance (MLG) framework, it analyzes interactions among Provincial Directorates of Migration Management, municipalities, non‐governmental ...
