Crustal Responses to the Destruction of Continental Lithosphere: Insights From Radial Anisotropy of the Tanlu Fault Zone, Eastern China

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Since the Mesozoic, much of the eastern China lithosphere was removed through thermo‐mechanical erosion and delamination, yet the effects on the overlying crust remain unclear. The Tanlu Fault Zone (TLFZ), the region's largest lithosphere‐scale weakness, offers a natural laboratory to assess crustal responses to lithospheric destruction.

Seismic Imaging Reveals Ongoing Modification of Craton Margins in Northeast Asia

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Cratonic margins are commonly modified, yet the processes responsible remain debated. The Korean Peninsula, situated between adjacent cratons, the Japan Trench, and a back‐arc system, provides a natural setting to investigate this problem. Using 4 years of dense seismic observations, we image upper‐mantle structure beneath the peninsula with P‐

Characterizing Patterns of Resurfacing on Venus With Volcanoes and Coronae

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract One of the major research questions for Venus is the manner in which it resurfaces itself, with a near‐random distribution of a relatively few craters providing the only age constraints for the planet's surface. We use volcanoes and their temporal and spatial relationships to coronae to characterize patterns of coronal resurfacing for ...

Opportunities for targeted, small‐scale law reform in marine and coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue S1, May 2026.
Across the globe, law reform is being considered as a mechanism to support, guide, and encourage the upscaling of ecological restoration. While high‐profile examples like the European Nature Restoration Law show the value of large‐scale law reform, this scale of law reform will not be feasible or politically tractable everywhere.

A >300 Myr Long‐Lived Topographic Highland Along the Northern North China Craton Margin Driven by Multistage Continental Convergence

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Topographic highlands commonly develop along convergent plate boundaries through long‐term processes such as subduction and continental collision. However, the pre‐Cenozoic mountain‐building history of deep‐time orogenic systems in northeastern Pangaea remains poorly constrained due to later tectonic overprinting and denudation.

Late Eocene to Early Oligocene (36–26 Ma) Rock Magnetism and Magnetostratigraphy of IODP Site U1553, Southwestern Pacific: Defying the Challenges of Carbonate Dilution and Reductive Diagenesis

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The late Eocene to early Oligocene is an intriguing Paleogene period in which the Earth climate state changed from Warmhouse to Coolhouse. Accurate age models are essential for investigating these climate transitions. The southwestern Pacific International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Site U1553, with its almost complete succession of the ...

Structure of the Mantle Keel of the Wyoming Craton and Its Relationship to Intracratonic Deformation and Magmatism

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Wyoming Craton is often cited as an example of decratonization, implying the removal of its lithospheric keel. However, numerous geophysical imaging studies indicate the presence of thick mantle lithosphere beneath much of the Wyoming Craton.

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

The making of pure quartzose sand in continental interiors: Paraná River (Brazil and Argentina)

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 802-837, April 2026.
ABSTRACT As part of a comprehensive project on sedimentary processes in South America, this study focuses on sediment generation in the intracratonic Paraná Basin and monitors the evolution of sand composition along the Paraná River from central Brazil to the Río de la Plata estuary in Argentina.
