Seismic Imaging Reveals Ongoing Modification of Craton Margins in Northeast Asia
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.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‐

Tectonic evolution of a continental collision zone: A thermomechanical numerical model [PDF]
, 2004 We model evolution of a continent-continent collision and draw some parallels with the tectonic evolution of the Himalaya. We use a large-scale visco-plasto-elastic thermomechanical model that has a free upper surface, accounts for erosion and deposition

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract A M5.9 earthquake occurred on 29 March 2024, offshore near the Strofades Islands, in the western Hellenic Subduction System. Here we present high‐precision earthquake locations and focal mechanisms that suggest the rupture of a NNE‐SSW striking, left‐lateral strike‐slip fault.

The break-up of continents and the formation of new ocean basins
, 2002 Rifted continental margins are the product of stretching, thinning and ultimate break-up of a continental plate into smaller fragments, and the rocks lying beneath them store a record of this rifting process.

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.

Melt Focusing Along Permeability Barriers at Subduction Zones and the Location of Volcanic Arcs
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 Fluids released from dehydration reactions occurring in subducting slabs trigger partial melting in the mantle wedge. The resulting magma rises through the overlying mantle wedge and lithosphere and forms arc volcanoes at subduction zones.

Influence of Inherited Rifted Margin Architecture on Continental Collision Dynamics
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Continental collision is a key process in lithospheric evolution, driving mountain building, crustal thickening, and supercontinent assembly. Within the Wilson cycle, collision marks the final stage following rifting, ocean spreading, and subduction.

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 ...
