Io's Long‐Wavelength Topography as a Probe for a Subsurface Magma Ocean
Geophysical Research LettersWe investigated how spatial variations in tidal heating affect Io's isostatic topography at long wavelengths. The long‐wavelength relief is less than the 0.3 km uncertainty in Io's global shape. Assuming Airy isostasy, degree‐2 topography

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Previous analyses of Mercury's tectonic record have arrived at widely varying amounts of global contraction. Contraction also varies spatially, with some regions displaying a near‐zero record of contraction. Here, we investigate the contribution of membrane–flexural strain from lithosphere loading to the tectonic record.

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 282-307, April 2026.This review presents an investigation of the evolution of the Baltic Sea basin and its connections through the Eemian Stage, based upon sequences of marine and associated deposits from the White Sea to the Southwest Baltic, via the Karelian channel. Pollen analyses, foraminiferal and ostracod analyses provide the evolution of relative sea‐level change,

Widespread erosion on high plateaus during recent glaciations in Scandinavia [PDF]
, 2018 Glaciers create some of Earth’s steepest topography; yet, many areas that were repeatedly overridden by ice sheets in the last few million years include extensive plateaus.

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 585-599, April 2026.Bioerosional scars made by limpets (Patella) on a cliff in Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland, indicate a Mid‐Holocene RSL of +7.8±0.55 m relative to local mid‐tide level today. This is higher than previous empirical data for the region and extrapolated levels from raised shorelines in Scotland but consistent with some recent GIA models.

Isostasy and its Meaning [PDF]
, 1949 The theory of isostasy supposes that, in regions which have not been disturbed recently, each vertical column of the earth's crust with a certain minimum radius and extending to a depth of about 100 km has approximately the same mass.

Tests of random density models of terrestrial planets [PDF]
, 1991 Random density models are analyzed to determine the low degree harmonics of the gravity field of a planet, and therefrom two properties: an axiality P_l , the percent of the degree variance in the zonal term referred to an axis through the maximum for ...

Terra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 130-140, April 2026.ABSTRACT We present novel 3D subsidence data enabling vertical movements' quantification during the early formation of the Pyrenean retro‐wedge. From Cenomanian to Turonian times, subsidence is relatively low (~26 ± 10 m/Myr), corresponding to a brief 10 Myr thermal re‐equilibration of the European lithosphere following the hyperextended rift episode ...

Density structure and isostasy of the lithosphere in Egypt and their relation to seismicity [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2018 A joint analysis of the new satellite–terrestrial gravity field model with recent data on the crustal structure and seismic tomography was conducted to create an integrative model of the crust and upper mantle and to investigate the relation of the ...
