Constraining the Relative Chronology of Repeated Large Earthquakes in the Longmen Shan Thrust Belt, Eastern Tibetan Plateau

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract The Yingxiu–Beichuan Fault Zone (YBFZ), located in the Longmen Shan Thrust Belt (LSTB) on the eastern Tibetan Plateau, is highly seismically active. However, direct evidence of large earthquakes at depth is scarce. Here, we present rock magnetic, microstructural, and geochemical analyses of four fault zones from the Wenchuan Earthquake Fault ...

Mg isotope fractionation during microbial dolomite formation in the Khor Al‐Adaid sabkha, Qatar

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 2, April 2026.
Modern sabkha sediments from southern Qatar show ca. 1‰ Ca isotope fractionation between pore water, organic matter and dolomite, supporting microbial mediation. In contrast, minimal Mg isotope fractionation and inorganic‐like dolomite δ26Mg indicate that microbial influence is indirect, expressed through subtle pore water shifts driven by Mg ...

Nanoborate Based Decontamination of Poultry Carcasses

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Nanoborate solutions are a promising alternative for decontamination of poultry carcasses. Compared to chlorine dioxide, nanoborate solutions‐treated carcasses consistently exhibited greater microbial control and approximately 50% longer shelf life. ABSTRACT Despite the implementation of strict biosecurity and food safety systems in broiler production,

Integrating Biological Architecture and Biomaterial Function: Exploring the Native Hydrogel Structure of Brown Seaweed

Macromolecular Bioscience, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study explores the natural internal structure of brown seaweed and how it influences material behavior. By preserving and reassembling the seaweed's native architecture, hydrogels and foams with high liquid absorption, porosity, and shape recovery were created using minimal processing.

Negative Frictional Healing in Icelandic Geothermal (IDDP‐2) Core Samples: Potential Implications for Detachment‐Fault Mechanics

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Detachment faults in mid‐ocean ridge settings accommodate tectonic extension. These faults are potentially weakened by alteration through phyllosilicate‐ and amphibole‐mineral formation. Seven core samples taken from the Krafla and Reykjanes geothermal fields in Iceland allow for the study of the effect of mineral alteration on the frictional ...

Episodic Rifting of a Large Igneous Province Concentrated Along a Microcontinent Boundary

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Many large igneous provinces (LIPs) comprise once contiguous magmatic products that are now fragmented across multiple tectonic plates. Emplacement of these voluminous magmatic products is commonly coeval with, or shortly followed by, fragmentation into constituent domains.

The Effect of Temperature and Physical State of Water on the Frictional Properties of Chlorite‐Altered Basaltic Gouges (Krafla Geothermal Field, Iceland)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Changes in the physical state of water may alter fault frictional properties in high‐temperature geothermal systems, yet they have been little studied. Here, we perform slide‐hold‐slide experiments to examine the frictional properties (frictional strength μss and frictional healing Δμ) of chlorite‐altered basalt from Krafla Geothermal Field ...

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 ±

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 ...
