A Curie Point Depth Model of the Conterminous United States Derived From a Prior‐Constrained Equivalent Source Inversion

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract The Curie Point Depth (CPD) is a key thermal boundary in the deep lithosphere and is widely used to constrain its thermal structure. However, uncertainties in magnetization and the non‐uniqueness of inversion lead to considerable inter‐study differences.

Evolution of the Transantarctic Basin (Southern Gondwana): Insights From Quantitative Sandstone Petrography

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
The deposition of the sandstone sedimentary succession of the Beacon Supergroup lasted more than 200 Myr (Devonian to Early Jurassic) in Victoria Land and nearby territories in the so‐called Transantarctic Basin, recording crucial events in the history of the Earth.

Eocene Tectonic Change in the South Pacific Caused Exhumation of the Transantarctic Mountains in Northern Victoria Land, Antarctica

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
Apatite fission‐track and (U‐Th)/He data indicate rapid exhumation of northern Victoria Land at 40–30 Ma, correlating with opening of Adare Trough at 43–28 Ma. Exhumation was greatest close to the Ross Sea, consistent with other regions of the Transantarctic Mountains.

3‐D Modeling of Differential Exhumation of Ultrahigh‐Pressure Metamorphic Rocks Driven by Increasing Plate Divergence

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Petrological and seismic constraints suggest differential sampling depth for ultrahigh pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks exposed in different segments of the fossil subduction zone of the Western Alps. However, the mechanisms for the observed differential exhumation remain to be understood. Here, we account for the continental margin subduction

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 ...

Middle Triassic transcontinental connection between the North China Craton and the Paleo-Tethys Ocean

Communications Earth & Environment
Middle Triassic paleogeography is essential for the paleoclimate change and ecosystem recovery after the end-Permian mass extinction, but is highly debated in the Paleo-Tethys Ocean and North China Craton, eastern Pangaea.

X‐ray computed tomography study of terrestrial analog cores in preparation for Mars sample return

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 405-426, March 2026.
Abstract Mars Sample Return (MSR) is expected to transform planetary science by providing unprecedented access to pristine Martian material. Initial characterization in the sample receiving facility (SRF) will rely on nondestructive techniques such as X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to document the condition, distribution, and internal features of ...

Paleogeography of the Southern Tarim Terrane Revealed by Neoproterozoic Mafic Dyke Swarm in Altyn

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Using high‐resolution remote sensing images and detailed field investigations, this study provides the spatiotemporal distribution and geometry of the Neoproterozoic giant mafic dyke swarm in the southeastern Tarim Craton, which is crucial for ...

Lithospheric Mantle Heterogeneity Drives Delayed Magmatism and Wide Continent‐Ocean Transitions in Rifted Margins

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract The formation of wide, magma‐starved continent–ocean transition (COT) zones remains incompletely understood. We use 2‐D thermo‐mechanical numerical experiments, coupling hydrous mantle melting with parameterized crustal accretion, to explore controls on magmatic lag: the delay between continental crustal break‐up and steady oceanic crustal ...

New Insights Into the Cooling of the Oceanic Lithosphere From Surface‐Wave Tomographic Inferences

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract How oceanic plates cool and thicken with age remains a subject to debate, with several thermal models supported by apparently contradictory data. Combining a novel imaging technique that balances resolution and uncertainty with finite‐frequency surface‐wave measurements, we build tomographic model SS3DPacific to revisit the cooling style of ...
