Abstract In this study we focus on the investigation of the absolute intensity records of two volcanic subsequences, aiming to enrich the global paleointensity database for the last 5 Ma, which currently shows important dispersion. We present new absolute paleointensities obtained from the Plio‐Pleistocene volcanic sequence of Korkhi (Djavakheti ...

Abstract Calderas often experience extended periods of unrest that are challenging to relate to a magmatic or hydrothermal origin, making it crucial to assemble a clear picture of these dynamics. Since 2005, Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy) has experienced accelerating ground uplift, seismicity rates, and degassing.

Abstract High silica granites may host major rare metal deposits. The petrogenesis of these granites, some of which have very low Zr/Hf, Nb/Ta, and Eu/Eu* ratios, has been highly debated. The existing views mainly favor either extreme magmatic fractionation or fluid‐magma interaction.

Abstract The Rapitan Group (Northwest Territories, Canada) includes banded iron formation (BIF), an unusual sediment type that is associated with late Neoproterozoic glaciations, in this case, the early Cryogenian Sturtian glaciation. New non‐traditional stable isotope data from jasper and hematite iron formation (IF) from the Cranswick River area ...

Investigating the Lid Effect on the Generation of Ocean Island Basalts: 2. Geodynamical Simulations
Abstract The concept that oceanic lithosphere mechanically limits upwelling and decompression melting of mantle plumes is known as the lid effect and is backed up by observations of ocean island basalt (OIB) geochemistry. Nevertheless, in a recent companion study on OIB geochemistry, several additional factors were identified that further influence OIB

Magnetization of Oceanic Lithosphere From Modeling of Satellite Observations
Abstract Magnetic observations from the oceans have made fundamental contributions to our knowledge of plate motions and the evolution of the geomagnetic field over the past ∼200 Myr. Here we construct updated models of magnetization for the oceanic lithosphere, taking advantage of the most recent models for Earth's past plate motions. We then evaluate

Community‐Driven Code Comparisons for Simulations of Fluid‐Induced Aseismic Slip
Abstract Numerical simulations of Sequences of Earthquakes and Aseismic Slip (SEAS) have rapidly progressed to address fundamental problems in fault mechanics and provide self‐consistent, physics‐based frameworks to interpret and predict geophysical observations across spatial and temporal scales.

Abstract At mid‐ocean ridges, the mantle temperature and composition, and the lithosphere thickness control the melting conditions, which influence the feeding and structure of the neo‐volcanic areas. We present a study of the eastern intersection between the Romanche transform fault (TF) and the adjacent southward segments of the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge ...

Paleomagnetic Secular Variation of Early Middle Miocene Volcanics From Vogelsberg (Germany)
Abstract The Earth's magnetic field significantly changed its rate of polarity reversals over the past 200 Myr; yet it remains controversial whether these drastic changes—from a stable state of polarity during the Cretaceous Normal Superchron to more than 10 events per Myr during the Jurassic—are accompanied with similar changes in the directional ...

Questioning the Reliability of Methane Detections on Mars by the Curiosity Rover
Abstract Over the past decade, the Tunable Laser Spectrometer (TLS) on NASA's Curiosity rover has reported several detections of methane on Mars, attracting attention due to the potential astrobiological implications of its presence. Here, we re‐analyze published TLS data, identifying issues in data robustness and reduction.
