Geodynamic Significance of Intraplate Basaltic Magmatism From the Western Mediterranean Region

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Dynamic topography changes as mantle convection evolves, making its past surface expression difficult to reconstruct. Widespread Neogene‐Quaternary intraplate basaltic magmatism across the Western Mediterranean Region allows us to test whether dated basalts preserve the mantle thermal structure responsible for regional dynamic support.

Formation of upwarped mountains by horizontal compression of lithosphere in shear layers model: A review

Contributions to Geophysics and Geodesy, 2011

Fifty Years Later: Revisiting Viking 2 Seismic Signals Through InSight

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 7, October 2026.
Abstract For nearly 50 years, the origin of the candidate seismic signals recorded by Viking 2 remained unresolved because of limited instrumental sensitivity, onboard observation, data compression, and the absence of Martian seismic context. Here we reconstruct the Viking seismic workflow and reinterpret the two Viking candidate events, recorded on ...

OIB‐Type Garnet Amphibolites From the Xuerongzangbu Area, Central Lhasa Terrane, Tibet: Implications for Songduo Paleo‐Tethys Ocean Evolution and Permian Mantle Activity Along North Gondwana

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Whether the Songduo metamorphic belt represents an in situ Paleo‐Tethyan suture within the Lhasa Terrane or far‐traveled allochthonous high‐pressure slices, and how Permian mantle activity along the North Gondwana margin relates to subsequent Tethyan evolution, remain central questions in Tibetan tectonics.

The Origin of Wabash Valley and Illinois Basin

, 2019
The central United States is an ideal site for studying intraplate deformation such as intraplate seismic zones and cratonic basins whose formation cannot be explained within the simple framework of the plate tectonics.

Unraveling the Evolution of Silicic Volcanism in a Distributed Volcanic Field: Insights From Harrat Khaybar, Western Saudi Arabia

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Distributed basaltic volcanic fields commonly host minor but significant silicic magmas, the origin of which remains debated. At Harrat Khaybar (western Saudi Arabia; ca. 1.7 Ma to present), volcanic activity erupted compositions range from alkali olivine basalt to trachyte and comendite.

Tectonic significance of changes in post-subduction Pliocene-Quaternary magmatism in the south east part of the Carpathian-Pannonian Region [PDF]

, 2010
The south-eastern part of the Carpathian–Pannonian region records the cessation of convergence between the European platform/Moesia and the Tisza–Dacia microplate.

LONG-LIVED STRUCTURAL ENSEMBLES OF THE EAST EUROPEAN PLATFORM. Article 2. THE STRUCTURE OF THE TOP OF THE BASEMENT

Известия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2018
The basement’s top tectonics of the East European platform (EEP) has been considered on the basis of the modern mapping data. The importance of the long-lived tectonic zones that form the vortex megastructure has been justified.Their Riphean — early ...
