Heat Advection During Exhumation Can Explain High Temperatures Along the Subduction Plate Interface

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The pressure–temperature (P−T) $(P-T)$ evolution of subduction zone plate interfaces governs metamorphism, fluid migration, deformation, and seismicity. Temperature estimates from natural rocks are frequently higher than those predicted by subduction models, particularly for P< $P< $ 2.5 GPa.

Geochemical Analysis of Diachronous V‐Shaped Ridges and Troughs That Flank the Reykjanes Ridge South of Iceland

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract It is recognized that mantle plumes play a direct role in generating regional uplift and producing immense volumes of basaltic magmatism, both of which can influence paleoclimate. The Icelandic Plume, beneath the North Atlantic Ocean, is of particular importance due to its size and position at a significant paleoceanographic gateway.

Cenozoic Subduction Polarity Reversal Within the Celebes Sea Inferred From Teleseismic Tomography

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Sulawesi and Borneo are tectonically complex islands with multistage subduction histories stretching back through the Cenozoic. Seismic studies have played an important role in helping to unravel this history, with spatial distributions of earthquakes tracking actively subducting slabs. In contrast, old or relict aseismic slabs are illuminated

Comparing Slab Viscous Dissipation Under Slab Distributed Weakening and Slab Segmentation Scenarios

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
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.

Slab Gap‐Related Intraplate Magmatism as a Proxy of Maximum Flat Slab Extent in Patagonia

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Establishing the frontal extent of ancient flat subduction events from the geologic record can be challenging. This difficulty arises because magmatic activity in the arc typically ceases during complete slab flattening, and other meaningful proxies are usually absent. To address this issue, we examine early Paleocene intraplate magmatic units
