High‐Resolution Tomography for the Upper‐Mantle Structure in North China by Full‐Waveform Inversion of Teleseismic P Wave and Its Codas

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract We investigate the structure and tectonic environment in the crust and upper mantle beneath the North China Craton (NCC) by conducting a full‐waveform inversion of teleseismic P and its coda waves from densely distributed broadband seismic stations. A high‐resolution model involving P‐ and S‐wave velocities as well as density is constructed by

Correlative X‐Ray and Neutron Tomography of Microbial Biosignatures: Perspectives for Mars Sample Return

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Mars Sample Return (MSR) is the next major frontier in Mars exploration, through which advanced laboratory instrumentation will be used to study Martian samples and answer key questions surrounding Mars' planetary evolution and astrobiology. Non‐destructive, high‐resolution imaging will be critical for preliminary MSR analyses.

Groundwater Connectivity and Buffering in Western Australian Hypersaline Lakes: Implications for Late‐Stage Martian Lacustrine Systems

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Thousands of saline to hypersaline lakes exist across the Yilgarn Craton in Western Australia, representing potential Mars analogs with diverse and varying salinity, pH, and oxygen conditions that remain poorly constrained. Here, we report geochemical trends in lake waters that vary across wet‐dry cycles as well as with regional location and ...

Polymict melt‐bearing breccia dikes in the Morokweng impact structure formed by slip‐induced mechanical mixing of pseudotachylite and cataclasite along large‐displacement impact faults

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 7, Page 1288-1308, July 2026.
Abstract A core drilled through shocked and faulted Archean granitoid gneisses and dolerites in the eroded peak ring of the 70–80 km diameter Morokweng impact structure intersects multiple centimeter‐ to meter‐wide clastic‐matrix breccias containing a polymict clast population of lithic and mineral clasts and altered, millimeter‐ to centimeter ‐size ...

The Role of Mafic Intrusion in Seismotectonics: Insights From the 1668 M 8.5 Tancheng Earthquake Rupture Zone Along the Tan‐Lu Fault Zone, Eastern China

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The Tan‐Lu Fault Zone (TLFZ), the largest lithosphere‐scale strike‐slip fault in eastern China, has experienced multiple tectonic stages and remains high seismic activity, including the 1668 Tancheng earthquake (M 8.5). Here we employ dense‐array receiver functions to resolve crustal thickness, Vp/Vs ratio, and seismic discontinuities in the ...

THE COMPOSITION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF THE SOURCE AREA FOR THE LATE PRECAMBRIAN TERRIGENOUS ROCKS OF THE OSELKOVAYA SERIES (BIRYUSA PRISAYANIE)

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2016
We present results from petrographic and lithogeochemical studies of the Late Precambrian terrigenous rocks (sandstones, gravelites, and aleuritic sandstones) from the Oselkovaya series of Prisayanie. The studies were conducted to reconstruct the primary

Impact and Crystallization Modeling of the Sudbury Basin and Its Implications for a Hadean Crust

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The 1.85 Ga Sudbury Structure hosts Earth's largest and best‐preserved impact‐induced melt sheet, the Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC), which crystallized into distinct noritic, gabbroic, and granophyric layers. We conduct impact simulations with iSALE‐2D and crystallization modeling using alphaMELTS 2 to track the formation and evolution of the ...

Tectonic stress field and crustal strength of the central-southern Tanlu Fault Zone

Dizhi lixue xuebao
Significance  The accurate estimation of crustal strength—the capacity of the lithosphere to resist tectonic deformation—is fundamental to both seismic hazard assessment and geodynamic studies.

Differences and Causal Mechanisms in the Lithospheric Thermal Structures in the Cratons in East China: Implications for Their Geothermal Resource Potential

Energies
The thermal structure of the lithosphere is key to understanding its thickness, properties, evolution, and geothermal resources. Cratons are known for their low heat flow and deep lithospheric roots.
