Controlling factors of low resistivity in deep shale and their implications on adsorbed gas content: a case study in the luzhou area

Scientific Reports
Numerous gas-rich, low resistivity shale wells have been discovered in the Luzhou deep shale gas of Sichuan Basin, providing strong evidence that low-resistivity shale also holds significant potential for shale gas exploration. However, existing research

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

In-situ stress prediction methods for continental shale oil reservoirs based on rheological models

Continental shale oil reservoirs typically exhibit strong heterogeneity, high clay content, and complex structural configurations, which result in significant deviations in conventional in-situ stress prediction methods.

Basement Geometry and Cover‐Basement Relationships in the Central‐Western Jaca‐Pamplona Basin (Southern Pyrenees): Along‐Strike Variations and Role of Structural Inheritance

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract This study presents a detailed, geometrical characterization of the central‐western domain of the Jaca‐Pamplona Basin based on a combined interpretation of seismic and surface data and the construction of four serial cross‐sections. For the studied portion of the basin, our results highlight that the basement is notably folded and faulted and ...

Foreland Flexure and Lower Crustal Flow as Controls on Cenozoic Subsidence Anomalies in the Zengmu (Sarawak) Basin, South China Sea

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract While the evolution of individual passive marginal and foreland basins is well understood, the subsidence pattern of passive margins near convergence zones—where thrust loading overprints earlier extension and the typical wedge and foredeep are obscured—remains poorly understood.

Late Jurassic Carbon Isotope Excursion (Middle Oxfordian Event) Paces With Astronomical Forcing in the Northwestern Tethys

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Marine carbonate carbon isotopes (δ13C), over orbital to multi‐million‐year timescales, provide critical insight into the carbon cycle connecting Earth's atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. However, the influence of astronomical forcing on deep time carbon cycle dynamics remains poorly constrained.

Progress and prospect of experimental technologies for continental shale oil development

Youqi dizhi yu caishoulu
As shale oil exploration and development intensifies， the experimental technologies for shale oil development have been continuously improved while inheriting the experimental technologies and methods of conventional reservoirs and shale gas reservoirs， and a set of experimental technology systems of reservoir physics and flow mechanisms has been ...

Accretionary Prism and Forearc Deformation Driven by the Beata Ridge Indentation in Southern Hispaniola: Insights From the Offshore San Pedro Basin

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The Cretaceous–Eocene island arc of Hispaniola is currently shortened between the Bahamas carbonate platform to the north and the thickened crust of the Caribbean Large Igneous Province (CLIP) to the south. Within this transpressional setting, the 15–22‐km‐thick, ∼100‐km‐wide Beata Ridge (BR), the thickest portion of the CLIP, acts as a ...

Geologically Recent Formation of Some Tesserae on Venus by Plains Deformation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Tessera is a pervasively deformed terrain type on Venus generally interpreted as the oldest preserved material on the surface. Large expanses of this terrain type are typically elevated and have been hypothesized to be felsic, perhaps analogous to Earth's continents and even to date from an era with a more Earth‐like climate earlier in Venus ...

Prioritizing Conservation of Trailing‐Edge Populations for Future Climate‐Resilient Forests

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
Climate change threatens warm‐ and dry‐edge tree populations that may harbor adaptive genetic variation important for future forest resilience. We identified trailing‐edge populations for frequent and widespread North American tree species using climate and forest inventory data, then prioritized conservation actions based on projected forest habitat ...
