Mapping Global GNSS Vertical Velocities to Solid Earth Figure Change

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Earth's figure evolves in response to glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), surface‐mass redistribution, and rotational and mantle‐driven processes. While temporal changes in the geoid's flattening are monitored through low‐degree gravity field harmonics, the geometric response of the solid Earth can be assessed independently from GNSS ...

Edge‐modulated stagnant‐lid convection and volcanic passive margins

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2007
The initial oceanic crust along volcanic passive margins is a factor of ∼3 greater than that of typical oceanic crust (20 versus 6–7 km). Convection driven by the edge of the continental lithosphere may cause mantle material to circulate through the ...

Improved Half‐Space Cooling Model Reconciles Bathymetry and Thermal Evolution of the Southwest Subbasin, South China Sea

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The bathymetry of marginal sea basins commonly deviates from depths calculated by classical lithospheric cooling models, yet the controlling mechanisms remain debated. Here, using 19 seismic profiles and corrected local heat‐flow data, we apply an improved half‐space cooling model within a two‐stage reconstruction to reassess thermal ...

Noble gases in the Cameroon line and the He, Ne, and Ar isotopic compositions of high mu (HIMU) mantle [PDF]

, 1999
Ultramafic xenoliths, basaltic lavas, and CO2 gases from the Cameroon line volcanic chain provide the first characterization of combined He, Ne, and Ar isotopes in a high-time-integrated 238U/204Pb = μ (HIMU) magmatic system. Helium isotopic compositions

Tracking Deep Mantle Melting on Mars Using Phobos Tides

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract We study the deep internal structure and rheological state of Mars by analyzing its response to tidal forces exerted by Phobos and by introducing a melt fraction in the mantle layers. Motivated by recent seismic evidence for a basal molten layer near the base of the Martian mantle, we explore the distribution of melt within the mantle and its ...

Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf isotope results from ODP Leg 187: Evidence for mantle dynamics of the Australian-Antarctic Discordance and origin of the Indian MORB source [PDF]

, 2002
New high precision PIMMS Hf and Pb isotope data for 14–28 Ma basalts recovered during ODP Leg 187 are compared with zero-age dredge samples from the Australian-Antarctic Discordance (AAD).

Brine Entrainment During Ice Shell Growth on Icy Worlds

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The role of ocean composition in governing ice shell growth and ocean longevity on icy satellites remains poorly constrained. To address this, we develop a thermomechanical model of small to mid‐sized icy worlds that simulates ice shell growth from a saline ocean, explicitly quantifying brine entrainment through a parameterization of reactive ...

Secular Variation in the North American Kimberlite Formation: The Variable Connection to LLSVPs

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Kimberlites are rare and perplexing igneous rocks that may represent the deepest‐sourced melt type extracted from within the Earth's mantle, and their origin may be associated with Large Low Shear Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs) along the core‐mantle ...
