Onset of Thrusting at ca. 23 Ma in East Kunlun Mountains, Northern Tibet, Recorded by Syntectonic Strata

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract The timing of Cenozoic deformation in the East Kunlun Mountains, northern Tibet, is crucial for understanding plateau growth but remains disputed due to the scarcity of direct chronological constraints on specific tectonic structures. Here, we present a high‐density‐sampling magnetostratigraphic record from the Xiaohongshan section, interior ...

A new high-resolution geomagnetic field model for southern Africa

South African Journal of Science
Earth’s magnetic field is a dynamic, changing phenomenon. The geomagnetic field consists of contributions from several sources, of which the main field originating in Earth’s core makes up the bulk.

The Aurora Vent Field at the Transition From Magmatic Accretion to Tectonic Extension on Gakkel Ridge: Constraints From Microseismicity and Aeromagnetic Observations

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The Aurora hydrothermal vent field (AVF) is the first confirmed active vent system on the Arctic Ocean seafloor, located at the western end of the ultraslow spreading Gakkel Ridge. It marks a distinctive endmember among ridge‐axis hydrothermal systems, where volcanic construction and ultramafic influence co‐exist.

Geodynamic Significance of Intraplate Basaltic Magmatism From the Western Mediterranean Region

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Dynamic topography changes as mantle convection evolves, making its past surface expression difficult to reconstruct. Widespread Neogene‐Quaternary intraplate basaltic magmatism across the Western Mediterranean Region allows us to test whether dated basalts preserve the mantle thermal structure responsible for regional dynamic support.

Determination of Earth's Static Gravity Field Using Quantum Gravity Satellites at Very Low Earth Orbit

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) satellite platforms and quantum‐optical sensing technologies may provide new observation approaches for improving Earth's static gravity field models. This study conceptually assesses their potential contribution through a two‐tier closed‐loop simulation framework.

Possible correlation between the vertical component of lithospheric magnetic field and continental seismicity

Earth, Planets and Space, 2018
Recent magnetic satellite missions facilitate new birth of large-scale geomagnetic field models and their applications to tectonics. Here, we directly compare the global geomagnetic field models NGDC-720 with the tectonics and seismicity in Mainland ...

Flip‐Flop Detachments Require Moderate Strength Contrasts Between Fault Zone and Fault Blocks

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Large‐offset detachment faults frequently occur at slow‐ and ultraslow‐spreading mid‐ocean ridges, especially where magma supply is limited. Observations show that detachments at ultraslow ridges often alternate in polarity (“flip‐flop” regime), but the mechanical controls governing their formation remain poorly understood.

Unraveling the Evolution of Silicic Volcanism in a Distributed Volcanic Field: Insights From Harrat Khaybar, Western Saudi Arabia

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Distributed basaltic volcanic fields commonly host minor but significant silicic magmas, the origin of which remains debated. At Harrat Khaybar (western Saudi Arabia; ca. 1.7 Ma to present), volcanic activity erupted compositions range from alkali olivine basalt to trachyte and comendite.

The Size of Greater India: Estimates by Comparing the Apparent Polar Wander Paths of the Tethyan Himalaya and the Indian Craton

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The northern extent of Greater India is a critical, yet highly debated, parameter for reconstructing the India‐Asia collision. Previous paleomagnetic estimates, including the fill‐the‐gap and fixed great circle approaches, yield widely varying results, spanning from ∼200 to ∼3,000 km. These large discrepancies stem principally from two primary
