Multi‐Stage Evolution of Subducted Oceanic Mantle: The Marlborough Ultramafic Suite (New England Orogen, Australia)

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Oceanic lithosphere is continuously destroyed by subduction, challenging our ability to develop tectonic reconstructions. One way to tackle this problem is to examine relics of once‐consumed oceanic domains preserved along convergent margins. In the New England Orogen (eastern Australia), disrupted exposures of ultramafic rocks loosely define ...

Re‐Evaluating the Thermogenic Decarbonation During Large Igneous Provinces Emplacement Using Temperature‐Dependent Thermal Properties

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Large Igneous Provinces emplacement drives mass extinctions through rapid carbon release, but the relative contributions of magmatic degassing versus thermogenic decarbonation remain debated. Here, we incorporate temperature‐dependent thermal parameters into models of contact metamorphism around intruding sills.

Petrogenesis and Tectonic Implication of the Newly Identified Rhyacian and Orosirian Orthogneisses in the Northwestern Part of the Gyeonggi Massif (Soyeonpyeongdo and Ganghwado Areas), South Korea: Constrained From Whole‐Rock Geochemistry and Zircon U‐Pb‐Hf Isotopic Compositions

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Gyeonggi Massif is one of the major Precambrian basements in the Korean Peninsula where Paleoproterozoic orthogneiss and paragneiss were widely exposed. In this study, newly identified Rhyacian to Orosirian meta‐igneous rocks from the northwestern Gyeonggi Massif (Soyeonpyeongdo and Ganghwado areas) were investigated to elucidate their ...

Building the Andean Crust at ∼35°S: Arc Geochemistry Reveals Cretaceous Thinning and Rapid Neogene Thickening

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Quantification of the timing and mechanisms of crustal thickening in Cordilleran orogenic hinterlands remains challenging. We address this in the Andes using whole‐rock geochemistry and zircon petrochronology from a >70 Myr volcanic record in the Tinguiririca valley of Chile (∼35° ${}^{\circ}$S), which captures a pivotal transition from ...

Formation and Alteration of Magnesite Nodules From Kunwarara, Queensland, Australia, as an Analog to Mg‐Carbonate Formation on Mars

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Magnesite (MgCO3) is a magnesium (Mg) carbonate mineral that records the aqueous environmental conditions of its formation. On Earth, magnesite forms in metamorphic, diagenetic or pedogenic environments, and distinguishing between these environments is critical for understanding the fluid chemistry during magnesite precipitation. Mg carbonates

Preserved Through Hyperaridity, 150 Million Years of Exhumation and Strike‐Slip Deformation in the Atacama Coastal Cordillera

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Coastal Cordillera of northern Chile, in the forearc of the Andean subduction zone, provides an ideal site to evaluate exhumation above the oldest active subduction under extreme aridity. This range lies parallel to a sediment‐starved trench, has experienced hyperaridity since the Miocene, and is transected by the ∼1,000‐km‐long Atacama ...

Linking Tectonics and Cratonic Vertical Motions: Deep‐Time Thermochronology Reveals >1,000 Myr of Low‐Temperature Conditions in Southeastern Finland

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Fennoscandian Shield potentially hosts the longest continuous habitable conditions for Earth's deep biosphere. Billion‐year equilibrium freeboard conditions of cratons and the longevity of deep biosphere microbial communities are directly related through the thermal histories of rocks that host these communities.

Evaluating Forced Versus Plume‐Induced Subduction Initiation for the Talkeetna‐Bonanza Arc System: Implications for Permo‐Triassic Paleogeography of the North American Cordillera

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The mechanisms by which new subduction zones form remain highly debated. Here we use Permo‐Triassic strata to evaluate potential mechanisms for initiation of the Talkeetna‐Bonanza Arc of the northern North American Cordillera. New mapping and analysis of Permian and Upper Triassic strata on the Alaska Peninsula suggest a period of uplift ...
