Thermochemical Controls on the X, 410, and 660 Discontinuities in the Central Mediterranean
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract The mantle beneath the Central Mediterranean is thermally and compositionally heterogeneous, as indicated by fragmented and locally stagnant slabs in tomographic images and HIMU‐like anorogenic magmatism. Mantle discontinuities are sensitive to both temperature and composition, and thus provide a way to quantify these heterogeneities.

The Role of Magmatic Styles in Planetary Thermal Evolution Models
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Previous studies that investigated the effects of magmatism on the interior dynamics, in particular for Earth‐sized planets, suggest that magmatism leads to more efficient mantle cooling. However, the extent to which different magmatic styles influence the thermal evolution of planets, and in particular smaller rocky bodies, has not yet been ...

iS‐GNN: Interpolation of Crustal Stress Maps Using a Graph Neural Network Model
Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract Estimating the orientation of the maximum horizontal stress (SHmax) from sparse and unevenly distributed geophysical observations remains a persistent challenge in tectonic and geomechanical stress studies. Classical interpolation methods often neglect the multiscale tectonic–geological heterogeneity of the crust, leading to biased estimates ...

Lithospheric Foundering in Progress Imaged Under an Extinct Continental Arc
Geophysical Research LettersA 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.

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Rayleigh‐Taylor instabilities within the upper mantle are investigated as a mechanism for the uplift of rift‐margin mountain ranges within the continents. Our focus is on the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM). These mountains form at the margin between East and West Antarctica and have been free from the effects of subduction for about 500 ...

SeismicaHarrat 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
