Cretaceous to early Paleogene sediment provenance transition from continental to magmatic arc systems in the Northwestern Pacific Region

Scientific Reports
Unraveling the Paleo-Kuril Arc's origins is key to understanding northwest Pacific tectonics. The Paleo-Kuril Arc is viewed as an intraoceanic arc from trench subduction between the Izanagi and Pacific Plates.

The Paleo‐Tethys Suture Zone in the Afghan Hindu Kush‒Pamir: Geo‐Thermochronology, Geochemistry, Tectonics

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract In the Afghan Hindu Kush, the 223–209 Ma (≤800°C) Salang batholith is part of the Silk‐Road magmatic arc that was built on ∼40‐km‐thick Turan‐Karakum block continental crust. The batholith constitutes the hanging wall of the Herat‐Panjshir‐Badakhshan—the Paleo‐Tethys—suture zone, vestige of the subducted Paleozoic‐early Mesozoic Paleo‐Tethys ...

Slab Subduction and Pull Link Magmatism at Active and Passive Continental Margins

Geophysical Research Letters
Subduction leads to voluminous arc magmatism at active continental margins; however, the potential far‐field geodynamic connections with coeval magmatism along opposing passive margins, are rarely investigated.

Thick Crust at Earth's Slowest Spreading Ridge: 3D Gravity Insights From Eurasian Basin, Arctic Ocean

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract The Eurasian Basin of the Arctic Ocean opened by ultraslow spreading along the Gakkel Ridge, yet crustal thickness has remained poorly constrained due to sparse seismic data. We present a new basin‐wide 3‐D gravity model, updated by the most comprehensive sediment thickness and seismic observations, offering the first systematic view of ...

Shoshonitic enclaves in the high Sr/Y Nyemo pluton, southern Tibet: Implications for Oligocene magma mixing and the onset of extension of the southern Lhasa terrane [PDF]

, 2020
Post-collisional potassic and high Sr/Y magmatism in the Lhasa terrane provides critical constraints on the timing and mechanism of subduction of Indian lithosphere and its role in the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau.

New Cretaceous Paleomagnetic and Geochronologic Data From the Antarctic Peninsula: Constraints on the Pre‐Opening Tectonic Evolution of the Drake Passage

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Reconstructing oroclinal orogens along the Fuegian Andes‐northern Antarctic Peninsula provides critical constraints on the pre‐opening tectonic evolution of the Drake Passage, although such efforts are limited by a lack of reliable Cretaceous paleomagnetic and geochronological data.

Late Triassic Hydroclimatic Changes in Central China Linked to Evolving Mountain Topography

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract During the Late Triassic, tropical Pangea drifted northward into subtropical latitudes and became progressively drier. In contrast, South China, despite experiencing a similar latitudinal shift, transitioned from an arid to humid climate. Based on the sedimentary record of the Zigui Basin, this study constrains the arid to humid climatic shift

Abrupt Along‐Strike Change of Shallow Seismicity in Central and Southern Myanmar: Insights From High‐Resolution Local‐Earthquake Catalogs and Focal Mechanisms

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Myanmar's high seismic hazard is underscored by the 2025 Mw 7.7 earthquake on the Sagaing Fault, yet its seismicity patterns and underlying controls remain poorly understood. Using new seismic data from the 2nd‐phase array of the China‐Myanmar Geophysical Survey in the Myanmar Orogen, we construct a high‐resolution catalog of 1,819 local ...
