Comparing Slab Viscous Dissipation Under Slab Distributed Weakening and Slab Segmentation Scenarios
Abstract Subduction of cold, dense oceanic lithosphere is a key driver of plate tectonics and mantle convection. However, how much gravitational potential energy is internally dissipated by slab deformation during subduction remains debated and largely depends on the mechanisms of slab weakening.

Phase‐Space Synchronization Driven by Moon‐Magnetosphere Coupling in Gas Giants
Abstract We present a new theoretical framework to describe the rapid and spatially localized loss of energetic particles in planetary radiation belts, focusing on interactions between gas giant magnetospheres and their moons. Observations show that flux depletions—known as microsignatures—often refill on timescales comparable to a single drift period,

Energy Conversion Pathways Inside Kelvin‐Helmholtz Vortices
Abstract Energy transfer, cross‐scale coupling, and dissipation in astrophysical plasmas remain fundamental unresolved problems. The velocity‐shear–driven Kelvin–Helmholtz instability (KHI), ubiquitous in plasmas, is a key multiscale mechanism enabling plasma mixing, particle energization and the solar wind–magnetosphere coupling, making it a critical ...

Abstract As spherical shell mantle convection models become increasingly commonplace, understanding how plates are generated has raised the issue of how to recognize whether rigid plates are present in model output. Tectonocists have long recognized that intraplate regions are not rigid without exception.

Stress and Strain in Magma‐Mush Reservoirs: Implications for Reservoir Failure and Magma Propagation
Abstract Investigating the mechanical stability and failure of magma reservoirs following magma supply is critical for volcanic hazard assessment. While magma reservoirs were traditionally modeled as melt‐filled cavities, they are now more often described as crystal mushes where melt flows and is stored in porous networks.
