Crustal Density Differences Along Mars' Dichotomy Boundary From Gravity and Topography

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Seismic data for Mars has provided constraints on the thickness of its crust, but its density and how much it varies spatially, especially across the hemispherical dichotomy, is still undetermined. We apply a novel constraint in the analysis of spacecraft tracking data to determine Mars' gravity field that allows for the determination of the ...

Corundum Discovered by SuperCam and the Perseverance Rover at Jezero Crater, Mars

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Mars is primarily composed of mafic mineral assemblages and their alteration products, but small, scattered rocks strewn across the landscape offer clues to greater petrological diversity. While traversing the Jezero crater rim, the Perseverance rover encountered several plagioclase‐rich light‐toned float rocks.

Seismic Exploration for Magmatic Brine Lenses: An Example From Soufrière Hills Volcano, Montserrat

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract The majority of metallic ore deposits are related to processes associated with ancient or modern volcanic systems. Beyond geothermal energy production, volcanoes also represent a potential resource of critical metals, including those required for carbon‐neutral technologies. Geothermal metals occur in subsurface fluid reservoirs fed by surface

A Microphysical Model for Predicting Magma Fragmentation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Explosive volcanic eruptions occur when coherent bubbly magma breaks apart in a process called “fragmentation.” Accurate conceptual and numerical models of fragmentation are a pre‐requisite for prediction of eruption explosivity. However, existing models, which neglect bubble‐scale magma physics, agree poorly with new experimental evidence ...

Hydrogen‐Enhanced Grain Boundary Conductivity Explains High‐Conductivity Anomalies in Trans‐Lithospheric Shear Zones

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Magnetotelluric (MT) surveys reveal high electrical conductivity anomalies along major trans‐lithospheric shear zones. Given that trans‐lithospheric shear zones are proposed conduits for deep‐Earth volatiles, we employ molecular dynamics simulations to quantify H+ diffusivity and electrical conductivity at olivine grain boundaries.
