Seafloor Displacements Across the Mid‐Ocean Ridge Eruption Cycle Modulated by Mush Zone Viscosity
Abstract Mid‐ocean ridges (MORs) are active volcanic systems where axial magma lenses (AMLs) are replenished on decadal time scales, enabling frequent dike intrusions. The associated seafloor deformation, however, remains scarcely understood. Here we assess this deformation by simulating cycles of steady AML inflation followed by instantaneous dike ...

Abstract Through bedrock deformation, solid Earth dynamics (specifically, glacial isostatic adjustment or GIA) influences ice sheet mass balance, especially for marine‐based ice sheets like the West Antarctic ice sheet (WAIS). As ice sheets retreat, crustal uplift can help stabilize a marine based ice sheet by reducing the ice exposed at the grounding ...

Abstract Oceanic transform faults frequently generate moderate‐sized earthquakes in quasi‐periodic cycles, offering attractive cases for studying earthquake physics. However, characterizing these remote events remains challenging due to the scarcity of local seismic data.

Abstract Mantle convection drives the solid Earth, powering plate motions, volcanism, and earthquakes while regulating planetary heat loss. Reconstructing its history is hampered by sparse, noisy observations concentrated near the surface and the present day. Here I develop an inverse physics‐informed neural network framework to estimate mantle thermal

A Machine Learning‐Based Geothermal Gradient Framework for Constraining Lithospheric Biomass
Abstract Earth's deep subsurface hosts a large microbial biosphere, but the magnitude of lithospheric biomass remains poorly constrained due to sparse observations and uncertain thermal limits. Here, we present a physically constrained global assessment of the continental and oceanic lithospheric biomass shallower than the 122°C isotherm.

Abstract The post‐collisional evolution of orogenic belts is commonly marked by high‐temperature metamorphism and widespread magmatism, yet the processes linking collision to post‐collisional dynamics remain difficult to reconstruct due to limited exposure of deep‐crustal levels and uncertainties in the determination of pressure‐temperature conditions ...

Abstract The Cenozoic India–Eurasia collision drove widespread deformation across Central Asia, culminating in northward indentation of the Pamir and its eventual contact with the South Tianshan. However, the timing and kinematics of Pamir–Tianshan convergence, as well as its influence on regional topography and climate, remain debated. Here, we report

Abstract The assembly of Gondwana involved several Pan‐African orogens, although their extension into ice‐covered Antarctica remains contentious. Particularly problematic is our understanding of the Kuunga orogenic system in East Antarctica, including its eroded architecture and temporal evolution. The remote Charcot Province, at the easternmost extent
