Multi‐Scale Spatial Variations in Pacific Mantle Seismic Anisotropy: Constraints on Plate Evolution and Asthenospheric Flow

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We present array‐scale (∼500 × 500 km) anisotropic shear‐velocity models from two Pacific ocean‐bottom seismometer (OBS) arrays of the OBS Research in the Convecting Asthenosphere (ORCA) experiment: Young ORCA (∼43 Ma) and Old ORCA (∼90 Ma). Rayleigh‐wave phase velocities spanning 5–150 s are combined with Love‐wave phase velocities from 5 to ...

Focused Mantle Upwelling Beneath the Southeastern Asian Basalt Province Revealed by Seismic Surface Wave Tomography

Geophysical Research Letters
Following the termination of seafloor spreading in the South China Sea (SCS) basin, abundant intraplate volcanism widely spreads in the Indochina block, SCS basin, and Leiqiong area, forming the Southeastern Asian Basalt Province (SABP).

Emplacement Conditions and Alteration of Volcanic Deposits Inferred From Magnetic Properties of the ICDP Eger Drill Site S4 (Bažina Maar), Czechia

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Titanomagnetite in alkaline maar deposits exhibits variable syn‐ and post‐crystallization alteration linked to wet emplacement and groundwater fluctuations, which remain poorly documented. Magnetic and mineralogical analyses of lapilli, scoria, and basalt from ICDP Eger drill cores S4 and S4b (Bažina maar, western Eger Graben, Czechia) reveal ...

Visible and Near Infrared (VNIR) Spectroscopy to Decipher Glass and Crystal Content of Lab‐Made Martian Volcanic Analogs

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Understanding how the glass/crystal ratio influences the spectral response of volcanic rocks is crucial for interpreting planetary remote sensing data. Here, four mafic rocks simulating a possible Martian composition were synthesized with identical bulk chemistry but different mineralogical assemblages, from fully amorphous to ∼70 wt.% crystal

Hydrothermal Manganese‐Oxide Mineralization of a Carbonate Ooze, Samoan Hotspot Region, South Pacific Ocean

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Low‐temperature hydrothermal manganese oxides occur throughout the global oceans. However, the hydrothermal replacement of a carbonate ooze by manganese oxides is described here for the first time. The 24 samples dredged from three locations around the Territory of American Samoa in the South Pacific Ocean include six samples with remnant ...

Crustal Thickness Inversion From Magmatic Geochemistry Reveals Spatiotemporal Evolution and Two‐Stage Uplift of the Iranian Plateau

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Cenozoic topographic growth of the Iranian Plateau, situated at the Arabia‐Eurasia collision front, provides insights into continental collision dynamics. However, the relative contributions of tectonic shortening versus deep mantle processes to crustal thickening remain debated because systematic quantitative constraints on paleo‐crustal ...

Evidence for Petit‐Spot Volcanism in the Puerto Rico Trench

Geophysical Research Letters
Petit‐spot volcanism occurs in intraplate settings along the outer rise of subducting plates. Here we present evidence for petit‐spot type of volcanism from multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data from the Puerto Rico Trench (PRT).

Coupling Seismic, Gravity and Magnetic Surveys for the Investigation of Planetary Lava Tubes: A Terrestrial Analog Case Study in Lanzarote (Spain)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Lava tubes are subsurface volcanic conduits formed during effusive basaltic eruptions and are considered key targets for planetary exploration. Orbital remote sensing on the Moon and Mars has identified numerous collapse pits interpreted as possible surface expressions of underlying lava tube systems. However, the limited resolution of current

The Significance of Inherited Crustal Thickening in Surface Uplift of Hangai Dome in Central Mongolia

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract The Hangai Dome in central Mongolia represents one of the most prominent intracontinental uplifts, yet the relative contributions of crustal and mantle dynamics in sustaining its high topography remain unresolved. Here we jointly invert Rayleigh wave dispersion and receiver function data to constrain crustal and uppermost mantle structures ...
