Blueschist Dislocation Creep and Glide in Subduction Systems: Constraints From Glaucophane Experiments

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Blueschists are a defining component of subducting oceanic crust and influence slab and interface rheology across thermal regimes. Glaucophane, the dominant sodic amphibole in blueschist, is a key rheology‐controlling phase, yet its dislocation‐based strength is poorly constrained.

Exploring the Formation and Age of Irregular Mare Patches (IMPs) to the Southeast of the Chang'e‐5 Landing Site

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Recently, possible exceptionally young mare volcanic glass beads were discovered in Chang'e‐5 (CE‐5) samples. Isotopic dating suggests an age of approximately 120 Ma, presenting new challenges to existing lunar thermal evolution models. Thus, our research focuses on the source region of Rima Mairan, a branch of Rima Sharp, and its surrounding ...

Single Piezometric Stress Preserved in Strained Feldspar and Quartz From Intracontinental Lower Crust

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The strength of the intracontinental lower crust exerts a primary control on regional‐scale deformation during continent‐continent collision. Because of the nominally anhydrous nature of much of the intracontinental lower crust, it is generally considered to be more viscous than lower crust in hydrated tectonic margins.

Plate Interactions and Mantle Flows Beneath the Caribbean and Adjacent Regions Revealed by P‐Wave Anisotropic Tomography

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract We determine the first P‐wave azimuthal and radial anisotropy tomography beneath the Caribbean and its adjacent regions. The Cocos and Atlantic Plates are imaged as high‐velocity (high‐V) zones down to ∼1,600 km depth and they have subducted independently beneath the Caribbean Plate.
