Evolution of Tectonically Accreted Topmost Oceanic Lithospheric Mantle Based on Seismic Tomography Constraints at the Ultraslow‐Spreading Southwest Indian Ridge

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Oceanic lithosphere formed at the global mid‐ocean ridge system makes up >60% of Earth's solid surface. Its uppermost ∼6 km are accreted either magmatically, where mafic melt is available, or tectonically, where this melt is absent. The magmatically accreted lithosphere is known to evolve with age, as demonstrated by its velocity increase ...

Tectonic Evolution and Crustal Growth of the East Kunlun Orogen, NW China: Insights From the Late Permian–Triassic Granitoids

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The East Kunlun Orogen (EKO) on the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau experienced complex Late Paleozoic–Early Mesozoic tectono‐magmatic activities associated with the subduction and closure of the Paleo‐Tethys Ocean. Controversies remain regarding the timing and processes of the transition from subduction to collision and post‐collision,

Two Distinct Growth Styles of Riedel Shear Zones in Cratonic Strike‐Slip Fault System, Tarim Basin, NW China

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The kinematics and progressive evolution of Riedel shear zones have been extensively studied, yet the factors controlling their distinct evolutionary styles in natural settings remain debated. Understanding such fracture network architecture has great implications, such as predicting subsurface fluid flow and assessing seismic hazards.

Geochronology and Hf isotopic characteristics of detrital zircon from the miboshan formation in the eastern hexi corridor: implications for the relationship between the alxa block and the North China craton

Frontiers in Earth Science
This study presents U-Pb ages together with newly obtained systematic Hf isotopic data from detrital zircons of the Middle Ordovician Miboshan Formation in the eastern Hexi Corridor (northwestern China), aiming to constrain its provenance characteristics

Non‐Uniqueness, Symmetries and Invariance of Thermal History Modelling in Sedimentary Basins

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 4, July–August 2026.
This paper approaches non‐unique inverse problems by generating a representative ensemble of all possible solutions using the concept of symmetry. In the context of basin modelling, a symmetry is any manipulation of a forward model's parameters (e.g., thermal history) that leaves the model output (e.g., downhole vitrinite reflectance) unchanged ...

Thermal and Structural Reconstruction of an Eroded Foreland Basin: Central Appalachian Basin, USA

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 4, July–August 2026.
New low‐temperature thermochronology and modelling reveal a complex thermal history for the central Appalachian Basin. Results indicate Carboniferous exhumation of the fold‐thrust belt and Mesozoic heating in the foredeep linked to the Rome Trough. Deeply buried Devonian source rocks were consequently pushed past the peak oil and gas windows.

Subduction Initiation and Early Subduction Zone Development: Insights From the P–T–t Path of the Bay of Islands Metamorphic Sole

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 7, Page 510-536, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The processes involved during subduction initiation (SI) remain poorly constrained, in part due to the rarity of geological archives. Ophiolites and their underlying metamorphic soles are thought to form during subduction zone infancy and may thus provide critical constraints. Metamorphic soles are derived from oceanic crust of the lower plate

Complete organellar genomes of Cystophora brownii: Insights into mitochondrial and plastid structure and evolution in brown algae

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 1193-1203, August 2026.
Abstract Cystophora (order Fucales) is one of the most diverse genera of habitat‐forming brown algae and is endemic to temperate reefs of Australia and New Zealand. Species in this genus form complex habitat structures that support diverse marine communities and contribute to coastal productivity. However, Cystophora spp.

The Ames impact structure, Oklahoma: New radioisotopic constraints and implications for North American impact chronology

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 2103-2139, August 2026.
Abstract The Ames impact structure (Oklahoma) is thought to have formed during the Ordovician Meteor Event, based on conodont biostratigraphy of its crater fill. Here, U–Pb zircon dates from its impact‐melt portion, conducted using secondary ion mass spectrometry and laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (n = 37 spots), yield a ...
