Observed crustal uplift near the Southern Patagonian Icefield constrains improved viscoelastic Earth model [PDF]

, 2014
Thirty‒one GPS geodetic measurements of crustal uplift in southernmost South America determined extraordinarily high trend rates (> 35 mm/yr) in the north‒central part of the Southern Patagonian Icefield.

3D Variations in Viscosity Reconcile the Strength of the Lower Mantle Inferred From Glacial Isostatic Adjustment and Mantle Convection

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract A widely accepted global model of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) is based on ICE‐6G ice loading and 1D‐viscosity model VM5a, a viscosity profile which remains at odds with mantle convection constraints such as from geoid modeling. We explore 3D‐viscosity variations in models of GIA and show that a model with lateral viscosity variations ...

Crustal Responses to the Destruction of Continental Lithosphere: Insights From Radial Anisotropy of the Tanlu Fault Zone, Eastern China

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Since the Mesozoic, much of the eastern China lithosphere was removed through thermo‐mechanical erosion and delamination, yet the effects on the overlying crust remain unclear. The Tanlu Fault Zone (TLFZ), the region's largest lithosphere‐scale weakness, offers a natural laboratory to assess crustal responses to lithospheric destruction.

Seismic Imaging Reveals Ongoing Modification of Craton Margins in Northeast Asia

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, -Not available-.
Abstract Cratonic margins are commonly modified, yet the processes responsible remain debated. The Korean Peninsula, situated between adjacent cratons, the Japan Trench, and a back‐arc system, provides a natural setting to investigate this problem. Using 4 years of dense seismic observations, we image upper‐mantle structure beneath the peninsula with P‐

Mantle heterogeneity during the formation of the North Atlantic Igneous Province: Constraints from trace element and Sr-Nd-Os-O isotope systematics of Baffin Island picrites [PDF]

, 2004
Sr-Nd-Os-O isotope and major and trace element data from ~62 Ma picrites from Baffin Island constrain the composition of mantle sources sampled at the inception of North Atlantic Igneous Province (NAIP) magmatism.

Broadband Seismic Deployments for Imaging the Upper Mantle Structure in the Lützow-Holm Bay Region, East Antarctica

International Journal of Geophysics, 2011
Broadband seismic deployments have been carried out in the Lützow-Holm Bay region (LHB), Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica. The recorded teleseismic and local events are of sufficient quality to image the structure and dynamics of the crust and mantle

Geologically Current Rates of Hotspot Motion

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Hotspots, sites of mid‐plate volcanism or of excessive volcanism along a plate boundary, overlie plumes of hot rock that rise in the solid state from Earth's mantle. Previously estimated rates of lateral hotspot motion relative to a hotspot reference frame since Late Cretaceous time range from ∼3 to ∼80 mm/yr.

Interior Rifting Coupled With Peripheral Subduction in the Rodinia Supercontinent: New Insights From the Tarim Craton

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract After assembly, supercontinents are shaped by internal rifting and peripheral subduction. However, the geodynamic relationship between these two processes and their respective contributions to supercontinent breakup remain poorly understood.

Archaean and Proterozoic diamond growth from contrasting styles of large-scale magmatism [PDF]

, 2017
Precise dating of diamond growth is required to understand the interior workings of the early Earth and the deep carbon cycle. Here we report Sm-Nd isotope data from 26 individual garnet inclusions from 26 harzburgitic diamonds from Venetia, South Africa.
