Along‐Strike Variations in Sub‐Arc Melting Beneath the Alaska Peninsula Revealed by P‐Wave Attenuation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The diverse volcanic activity in the Alaska Peninsula section of the Alaska‐Aleutian subduction zone is presumably caused by substantial variations in mantle wedge melting or trans‐crustal processes beneath the arc. In this study, we investigate sub‐arc melting beneath the Alaska Peninsula by measuring P‐wave attenuation, as attenuation is ...

Dynamic Evolution of Forearc Subsidence Controlled by Slab Geometry

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Several subduction zones worldwide present an enigmatic forearc topography and strain characterized by extension at a forearc ridge near the trench and shortening within a forearc valley located between the ridge and the magmatic arc. The development of this topography has been linked to progressive slab steepening, while strain patterns ...

Magnetotelluric Constraints on the Temperature, Composition, Partial Melt Content, and Viscosity of the Upper Mantle Beneath Svalbard

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Long‐period magnetotelluric (MT) data can be used to interpret upper mantle temperature, hydrogen content, and the presence of partial melt, all of which strongly influence mantle viscosity. We have collected the first long‐period MT data in Svalbard and

Seafloor Displacements Across the Mid‐Ocean Ridge Eruption Cycle Modulated by Mush Zone Viscosity

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Mid‐ocean ridges (MORs) are active volcanic systems where axial magma lenses (AMLs) are replenished on decadal time scales, enabling frequent dike intrusions. The associated seafloor deformation, however, remains scarcely understood. Here we assess this deformation by simulating cycles of steady AML inflation followed by instantaneous dike ...

Dynamic Component of the Asthenosphere: Lateral Viscosity Variations Due To Dislocation Creep at the Base of Oceanic Plates

Geophysical Research Letters
The asthenosphere is commonly defined as an upper mantle zone with low velocities and high attenuation of seismic waves, and high electrical conductivity. These observations are usually explained by the presence of partial melt, or by a sharp contrast in

Post‐Collisional Evolution in the Southern Variscan Belt: Insights From Numerical Modeling of the Valpelline Series (Western Alps)

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The post‐collisional evolution of orogenic belts is commonly marked by high‐temperature metamorphism and widespread magmatism, yet the processes linking collision to post‐collisional dynamics remain difficult to reconstruct due to limited exposure of deep‐crustal levels and uncertainties in the determination of pressure‐temperature conditions ...

The electrical structure of the central Pacific upper mantle constrained by the NoMelt experiment

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2015
The NoMelt experiment imaged the mantle beneath 70 Ma Pacific seafloor with the aim of understanding the transition from the lithosphere to the underlying convecting asthenosphere.

Tectonic Tremor Reveals Slow Deformation Along the Antarctic–South American Subduction Zone

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The Antarctic–South American subduction zone is among the least explored convergent margins and lacks documented large interplate earthquakes despite ongoing convergence. Here we report the discovery of tectonic tremor along this plate boundary using continuous seismic data.

Lithosphere-asthenosphere system in shield areas of North America and Europe

Annals of Geophysics, 1997
In previous papers surface dispersion data have been combined with the results of deep seismic refraction data to derive a regionalization of the lithosphere-asthenosphere system and to investigate the presence of significant heterogeneity down to depths
