The Dynamics and Surface Signal of Slab Break‐Off in Continental Settings: Insights From 3D Numerical Modeling

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The fate of an oceanic plate that has been subducted over an extended period of time involves slab break‐off, which can occur either simultaneously across the entire slab or locally, creating a tear that propagates sub‐horizontally. These processes are thought to explain various geological observations, such as the evolution of foreland basins,

Lateral Variations in Lunar Crustal Thickness Inferred From Apollo Seismic and GRAIL Gravity Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The internal structure of the Moon is key to understanding its formation, evolution, and bulk composition. In particular, determining the structure of the crust–mantle interface (Moho), including its lateral variations, is of significant importance, but current knowledge is still insufficient to fully constrain it.

Aspect Asymmetry in Martian Gullies: A Topographic Signature of Their Formation Process?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract On Mars, erosional‐depositional landforms named gullies provide natural experiments for studying the topographic signature of the processes that act on hillslope evolution. High‐resolution topographic data were used to quantitatively compare the steepness of opposing walls in gully alcoves incised into ice‐rich slopeside mantling deposits.

Olivine Microstructure Constraints on Ureilite Parent Body Deformation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Ureilites are ultramafic achondrites for which the parent body is unknown. Monomict ureilites, consisting primarily of olivine and pyroxene, are thought to represent mantle residues, carrying essential information for their parent body deformation history.

Timing of Metamorphism and Deformation in the Neoarchean Quetico Metasedimentary Belt, Superior Craton, Constrained by Garnet Trace‐Element Mapping and Lu–Hf Geochronology

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 4, Page 265-286, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The Quetico subprovince of the Superior Province is among the largest metasedimentary belts globally and provides evidence of tectonic processes at play during the final stages of Archean cratonization. Although previous studies have shown that deformation and metamorphism of the 2.7‐Ga turbiditic protolith resulted in regional subvertical ...

Garnet–Clinopyroxene Double‐Layered Coronae in a Metagabbronorite From the High‐Grade Metamorphic Gföhl Unit, Moldanubian Zone

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 4, Page 311-336, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates garnet–clinopyroxene double‐layered coronae in a metagabbronorite from the high‐grade metamorphic Gföhl Unit (Bohemian Massif). The coronae formed at the interfaces between relic magmatic orthopyroxene, still preserved in the cores of the coronae, and the plagioclase‐rich rock matrix.

Earth's Lower Mantle Predominated by Ferric Iron‐Rich Bridgmanite Inferred From High Pressure Elasticity Measurements

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract The absence of sound‐velocity data spanning the entire lower mantle pressures for (Fe, Al)‐bearing bridgmanite impedes direct comparisons with seismic wave observations, leaving the chemistry of the lower mantle unresolved. The present ultra‐high pressure sound‐velocity measurements of in situ synthesized (Fe, Al)‐bearing bridgmanite up to 130
