Scientific interpretation of geological statements in the Quran: plate tectonics and stabilizers

Opuscula Theologica et Scientifica
This study examines the Quranic verse, "And the land we extended it, and placed in it stabilizers," through a geological lens, challenging claims of scientific inaccuracies.

Tilting and Flexural Stresses in Basins Due to Glaciations—An Example from the Barents Sea

Geosciences, 2019
Many of the Earth’s sedimentary basins are affected by glaciations. Repeated glaciations over millions of years may have had a significant effect on the physical conditions in sedimentary basins and on basin structuring. This paper presents some of

Introducing Regularization Constraints Into Combination of GRACE Monthly Terrestrial Water Storage Changes

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) observation data processed by various institutions yields somewhat different spherical harmonic solutions, which are further used to derive terrestrial water storage (TWS) changes. Combining TWS solutions from different institutions helps to refine the effective signal while removing noise.

Maximum-likelihood estimation of lithospheric flexural rigidity, initial-loading fraction, and load correlation, under isotropy

, 2013
Topography and gravity are geophysical fields whose joint statistical structure derives from interface-loading processes modulated by the underlying mechanics of isostatic and flexural compensation in the shallow lithosphere.

Effective elastic thickness in the Central Andes. Correlation to orogenic deformation styles and lower crust high-gravity anomaly [PDF]

, 2018
Global studies have assessed the importance of elastic thickness (Te) on orogenic evolution, showing that the style and nature of upper crustal shortening are influenced by the inherited lithospheric strength. Thus, pioneer works have identified that the

Challenges and Opportunities for National‐Scale Projections of Future Coastal Landscape Change

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Local to global scale projections of future coastal landscape change are essential to improve land and resource management decisions that aim to prepare for and reduce risk exposure to impending coastal hazards. However, the availability of actionable knowledge is often limited due to the complexity of drivers of change, their consequences ...

Isostasy and Radioactivity [PDF]

Science, 1915
Introductory It is the purpose of this paper to point out some apparent discrepancies between the observations of geodesists on isostasy and the inferences which some radiologists have drawn as to the great age of certain specimens of minerals. It seems well to begin by reviewing the results of isostatic investigations, in order to estimate the degree

Autocorrelation‐Based Imaging of Crustal Discontinuities Including the Main Himalayan Thrust and Vp/Vs Ratio in the Jammu and Kashmir Himalaya

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Jammu and Kashmir Himalaya, located between the rupture zones of the 1905 Kangra and 2005 Kashmir earthquakes, represent a prominent “seismic gap” where understanding the subsurface structure is critical for seismic hazard assessment. This study presents new insights into the crustal structure of this region using teleseismic P‐wave coda ...

Internal energy dissipation in Enceladus's ocean from tides and libration and the role of inertial waves

, 2019
Enceladus is characterised by a south polar hot spot associated with a large outflow of heat, the source of which remains unclear. We compute the viscous dissipation resulting from tidal and libration forcing in the moon's subsurface ocean using the ...

Fault Friction, Plate Rheology, and Mantle Torques From a Global Dynamic Model of Neotectonics

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Improvements in software, parallel computing, global data sets, and laboratory flow‐laws help to develop the global Earth5 thin‐shell finite‐element model of Bird et al. (2008, https://doi.org/10.1029/2007jb005460) into a benchmark study. All experiments confirm that modeled faults (other than megathrusts) have low effective friction of 0.085 ±
