Giant Porphyry Copper Deposits Caused by a Slab Jamming in the Mantle Transition Zone
ABSTRACT Two giant porphyry copper deposits in the Southern Central Andes formed during the Miocene–Pliocene transition when a bend in the subducting Juan de Fernández hotspot chain jammed in the mantle transition zone, causing mega‐scale slab‐kinking. This geometry implies mechanical resistance that caused East–West compression and eventually a thrust‐

Abstract Biological and physical science infrastructure programs play a critical role in supporting scientific discovery. Even with their foundational roles in the process of science, frequently, support for these programs is threatened, reduced, or eliminated, placing critical data and information at risk of interruption or loss.

Common Sensor Platform Project
Abstract EarthScope Consortium's Common Sensor Platform (CSP) project is a unified, modular, and scalable design approach for geophysical instrumentation deployments. Developed through cross disciplinary collaboration of National Science Foundation's GAGE and SAGE facilities, the platform outlines core station subsystems that have the flexibility to be

Baseflow Identification via Explainable AI With Kolmogorov‐Arnold Networks
Abstract Hydrological models often involve constitutive laws that may not be optimal in every application. We propose to replace such laws with the Kolmogorov‐Arnold networks (KANs), a class of neural networks designed to identify symbolic expressions.

Abstract The geochemical heterogeneity of the mantle, recorded by mantle‐derived basalts, offers crucial insights into the evolution of mantle sources. However, recognizing mantle end‐members of basalts is challenging, as traditional trace element proxies yield ambiguous overlapping results in older basalts.

Is the Suez Rift in Its Post‐Rift Phase?
Abstract Failed rifts are widely assumed to enter post‐rift tectonic quiescence after termination of intracontinental rifting, but a comprehensive understanding of their regional morphotectonics is lacking. Our quantitative, rift‐scale geomorphic analyses in the Suez Rift, an archetypal failed rift in Egypt, reveals widespread rifting after presumed ...

Mapping Arsenic Risks in the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) Delta, Myanmar: Implications for Public Health
Abstract The Ayeyarwady Delta in Myanmar, home to an estimated 12 million people, faces widespread arsenic contamination similar to other Asian deltas namely Bengal, Red River, and Mekong. Arsenic here primarily results from reductive dissolution of iron minerals in anoxic conditions driven by organic carbon. Here, we used digital elevation model (DEM)

Abstract Modeling sea ice microwave emissivities at large scales presents challenges, due to complex interactions between the microwave signal and the sea ice environment. For the preparation of the Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer mission (CIMR) that focusses on the monitoring of polar regions, a pragmatic parameterization of the sea ice ...

TEMPO at Night: Lightning Flashes and On‐Orbit Instrument Performance
Abstract The abundant nighttime (twilight) spectra from October 2024 are used for characterization of on‐orbit instrument performance of the Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO, a geostationary imaging spectrometer). We select 250 lightning flashes and measure the flash sizes and flash positions in 6 spectral domains spread across ...

Abstract The Lepontine dome (European Central Alps) is constituted by basement nappes under Alpine regional Barrovian metamorphism, yet the duration and pattern of its post‐peak amphibolite‐facies cooling remain uncertain. We examine garnet‐rim compositional re‐adjustment and employ inverse multicomponent diffusion modeling to estimate apparent cooling
