Toroidal-poloidal partitioning of plate motions since 120 MA

, 1993
Changes in plate motions and plate configurations during the Cenozoic and Mesozoic have been investigated extensively, but most geodynamical models have concentrated on present-day plate motions.

Lithospheric Foundering in Progress Imaged Under an Extinct Continental Arc

Geophysical Research Letters
A long‐standing question is how felsic continental crust is differentiated from its mafic parent mantle magmas. One currently proposed fundamental mechanism is lithospheric foundering and loss of dense material into the mantle.

Aerial and Space‐Borne Seismology on Venus: Viability and Design Implications for Future Missions

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Venus' evolution remains a mystery because of the lack of in situ geophysical data to constrain its interior structure. Recently‐selected planetary missions VERITAS (NASA), DAVINCI+ (NASA), and EnVision (ESA) will investigate the planet's interior, surface, and atmospheric chemistry.

Structure and evolution of the intracratonic Congo Basin

Surface wave tomography, heat flow, and crustal thickness measurements have demonstrated that the thickness of the continental lithosphere varies by at least a factor of 2. Since the thermal time constant of the lithosphere depends upon the square of its

Oceanic lithospheric mantle beneath the continental crust of the Chinese Altai

, 2011
Although subduction-accretion is proposed as a major regime in making new continental crust, how the lithospheric mantle forms remains unclear. Formed after the closure of the Palaeo-Asian Ocean, the Ashele basalt shows normal mid-ocean ridge basalt (N ...

Migration of Seismicity from the Mantle to the Upper Crust Beneath Harrat Lunayyir Volcanic Field, Saudi Arabia

Seismica
Harrat Lunayyir is a volcanic field in Saudi Arabia that experienced a Mw~5.4 earthquake driven by an upper-crustal dike intrusion in May 2009. This volcanic field has exhibited numerous forms of volcanic seismicity both prior to and since the 2009 dike

Integrating Olivine Diffusion Chronometry With Monitoring Data to Decipher the Magma Dynamics at the Submarine Fani Maoré Volcano

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Monitoring data are critical for understanding volcanic unrest and eruption, but they often lack the ability to constrain the pre‐eruptive magma processes. As such, an increasing number of studies couple monitoring data with petrological tools to obtain insights into the causes and durations of magmatic processes. The 2018–2020 eruption of the
