Lithospheric Delamination Below the North American Midcontinent Ceased Subsidence in Cratonic Basins

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Cratonic lithospheres carry a long history of tectonic modifications that result in heterogeneous structures, as revealed by an increasing number of geophysical observations. The existence of cratonic basins indicates protracted periods of tectonic modification, causing subsidence within global continental interiors.

Tectonics as a Regulator of Shoreline Retreat and Rocky Coast Evolution Across Timescales

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Rocky coast morphology is shaped by interactions between wave action, sea level, and tectonics over millennial time scales. However, a clear and quantifiable signature of tectonic uplift on decadal to centennial shoreline retreat rates is outstanding.

Late‐Stage Rift Evolution at Back Arc Basins: Insights From a Tomography Experiment at Orca Volcano, Bransfield Basin

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Back‐arc basins provide insights into the processes governing the evolution of continental rifting to seafloor spreading. The Bransfield basin hosts a back arc rift that is hypothesized to be in the late stages of this transition. Orca volcano is a submarine volcano that lies on the most evolved portion of the rift.

Continental crust recycling in collisional zones: insights from Li isotope compositions of the syn-exhumation and post-collisional mafic magmatic rocks

Frontiers in Earth Science
Syn-exhumation and post-collisional mafic magmatism in continental collision orogenic belts may provide insights into the nature of orogenic lithospheric mantle and recycled continental components in continental subduction zones. Lithium and its isotopes

Evolution of the Source Mineralogy and Lithospheric Controls on Magmatism During the Northeast Atlantic Continental Breakup

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The mid‐Norwegian Margin, part of the North Atlantic Igneous Province (NAIP), is a well‐studied volcanic rifted margin formed during the breakup between Greenland and Eurasia ∼56 Ma, with the largest accumulation of magmatic material hosted by the Vøring Margin section.

Saline fluids play a major role in continental crust formation

Frontiers in Earth Science
A new general perspective on the long-standing problem of continental crust formation is presented in this study. Unlike prevailing models for continental crust formation that rely heavily on the behavior of major and trace elements in silicate melts in ...

Low Water Content of the Lower Continental Crust Induced by Decompression Melting: Evidence From the Weichang Granulite Xenoliths in the Northern North China Craton

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The water content of granulite xenoliths from the Cenozoic Weichang basalts in the northern North China Craton (NCC) is investigated to constrain the nature and evolution of the lower crust. Granulites are categorized into felsic and mafic groups, characterized by widely developed glass‐bearing sieve textures in their constituent minerals ...

Subduction System Response to Ribbon Collision: Implications on the Intra‐Plate Force Balance and the Style of Slab Deformation

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Ribbon collision is a process that can rapidly disturb the symmetry of subduction zones. Previous studies have demonstrated how ribbon collision causes rotation at the surface and contortion in the slab, but have only focused on the surface kinematics.
