Birth of an ocean in the Red Sea: Initial pangs

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2012
We obtained areal variations of crustal thickness, magnetic intensity, and degree of melting of the sub‐axial upwelling mantle at Thetis and Nereus Deeps, the two northernmost axial segments of initial oceanic crustal accretion in the Red Sea, where ...

Exhumed eo‐Alpine High‐Pressure Rocks Fed Campanian Turbidites in Eastern Sardinia

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the detrital record of the early orogenic evolution of the Sardinia‐Calabria system, preserved in Upper Cretaceous arenites exposed in eastern Sardinia. Sardinia and Corsica form a continental block that includes a segment of the Alpine orogen and of its former foreland basin.

Domains of Archean mantle lithosphere deciphered by seismic anisotropy – inferences from the LAPNET array in northern Fennoscandia

, 2011
. An international LAPNET array (2007–2009, http://www.oulu.fi/sgo-oty/lapnet ) of the POLENET/LAPNET sub-project of the POLENET-IPY consortium, related to seismic and geodetic studies in the Arctic regions, consisted of about 60 broadband seismic ...

Tracing Continental Basalt Sources and Mantle Processes Using Fe Stable Isotopes

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Iron (Fe) isotopes have emerged as powerful tracers of mantle source heterogeneity and melting processes, yet the mechanisms producing heavy Fe isotope signatures (high δ57Fe values) in intraplate basalts remain debated. Competing interpretations include partial melting of recycled pyroxenite domains versus carbonate‐induced oxidation of a ...

East European sedimentary basins long heated by a fading mantle upwelling

Nature Communications
A strong negative anomaly of seismic wave velocities at the core-mantle boundary (the Perm Anomaly) beneath the East European platform is attributed to the remnant of a deep mantle upwelling.

Petrogenesis and Tectonic Evolution of Cenozoic Magmatism in the Southernmost Northern Andes: Insights From Zircon Petrochronology

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This study integrates new zircon U–Pb ages, zircon εHf(t)–δ18O isotopic data, and whole‐rock geochemistry to refine the temporal and spatial framework of magmatism in the southern Northern Andes (SNA) from ∼65 to 6 Ma. The San Lucas, Catamayo, Portachuela, and Gonzanamá batholiths and magmatic suites, along with Late Miocene plutons, display ...

Constraining the Permeability and Outer‐Rise Hydration at the Central America Margin

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Subduction zones are important drivers of Earth's geochemical evolution; the presence of water within the subduction system has substantial implications for geohazards, including the style of seismicity and the volume of magma generated at arc volcanoes.

Bathymetry Prediction With SWOT Gravity Anomaly Using Machine Learning Methods: Paper 1–Model Development

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Only one quarter of the global ocean floor has been directly surveyed; the remaining three quarters are inferred from satellite altimeter‐derived gravity data using techniques developed in the 1990s. These classical methods correlate gravity anomalies with known depths and extrapolate bathymetry in unsounded regions.

The Indian Plate subducting below the Tibet Plateau is tearing apart

Communications Earth & Environment
The first-order configuration of the Himalayan orogen is defined by northward motion of the Indian plate, whether directly underplating Tibetan crust or subducting beneath a mantle wedge.

New 2010 Maule Aftershock Catalog Reveals Structure of the Deep Subduction Interface

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract On 27 February 2010, a Mw 8.8 earthquake occurred near Maule in south‐central Chile. The subsequent rapid deployment of a dense network of seismic stations on land was able to capture the first year of its aftershock sequence. Here, we revisit this data set using picking Artificial Intelligence tools, a 3D velocity model of the region and ...
