Fault Friction, Plate Rheology, and Mantle Torques From a Global Dynamic Model of Neotectonics

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
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 ±

Mantle Dynamic Topography of the Fringing Oceanic Basins of Antarctica

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Dynamic mantle processes are known to influence oceanic basins with implications for ocean circulation and climate. This study exploits an interdisciplinary approach to probe present‐day mantle and lithosphere beneath Antarctica's fringing oceanic basins to better understand sub‐crustal processes and implications for the continental realm.

Testing Models for Upper Mantle Earthquakes in the Tanganyika‐Rukwa Rift, Africa

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Rifts that initiate in mechanically strong, stable continental lithosphere are characterized by M > 5 earthquakes at depths >35 km near or below the crust mantle interface. Current models for deep rift zone earthquakes invoke elevated pore pressures associated with magmatism, and rapid stressing from magma intrusions.

Variable Oceanic Crust Accretion at a Slow‐Spreading Ridge: A Vp/Vs Ratio Evidence Across the Southwest Sub‐Basin of the South China Sea

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The opening of the Southwest Sub‐basin (SWSB) of the South China Sea was slow‐spreading and has been propagated toward the southwest. Yet, the structural variability and magmatic accretion process of the SWSB are still enigmatic. Here, utilizing a wide‐angle seismic profile traversing the central segment of the SWSB, we obtain detailed S‐wave ...

Microstructural Controls on Geothermal Reservoir Host Rock Responses to Elevated Pressures and Temperatures

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Rock microstructure controls geothermal fluid flow within reservoirs hosted in active volcanic environments and as such it is necessary to constrain the microstructural evolution of rocks at elevated pressure and temperature conditions. Despite Andean geothermal systems hosting numerous high enthalpy geothermal plays, there remains a paucity ...
