Large (∼80 km) Shield Volcanoes on the Moon Possibly Fed by Shallow Magma Reservoirs

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Large shield volcanoes are among the most prominent volcanic structures on terrestrial bodies. The Moon, while volcanically very active in the past and hosting various volcanic features, seems to lack such large shield volcanoes. Here, we report the identification of two lunar volcanic domes (Prinz‐Harbinger and Theophilus) with diameters ...

Potential Bias in Inferred Megathrust Slip Rates Induced by the Neglect of Material Heterogeneity

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Accurate knowledge of the pattern of interseismic coupling on megathrusts is critical to preparing for future earthquakes and tsunamis. However, published models for a given fault zone commonly differ widely, making hazard assessment difficult.

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.

Bayesian Modeling of Crustal Azimuthal Anisotropy Supports Partial Crust–Mantle Anisotropic Decoupling in a Continental Back‐Arc, Northeast China

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract How crustal deformation responds to complex mantle flow in continental back‐arc settings remains poorly constrained. Here, we develop a Bayesian working‐likelihood approach to estimate crust‐averaged azimuthal anisotropy from P‐wave receiver functions. The method separates crust‐averaged velocity anisotropy from dip‐related apparent anisotropy

The role of an oxidized lithospheric mantle in gold mobilization

Science Advances
Phanerozoic orogenic gold mineralization at craton margins is related to the metasomatism of the lithospheric mantle by crustal material. Slab subduction transfers Au from the crust to the metasomatized mantle and oxidizes the latter to facilitate the mobilization of Au into mantle melts. The role of volatiles in the mobilization of Au in the mantle is

Disrupted Skies: How Offshore Wind Farms Alter Flight Behavior of Breeding Seabirds

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Using high‐resolution 1‐s tracking bursts collected every hour, we quantified within‐trajectory flight behavior of breeding Bridled Terns near offshore wind farms. Birds showed increased mean redirection and lower flight altitude when trajectories were more closely aligned with turbine directions from the colony, suggesting localized, direction ...

A Trace Element Perspective on the Source of Ocean Island Basalts (OIB) and Fate of Subducted Ocean Crust (SOC) and Mantle Lithosphere (SML)

, 2012
We analyze the first-order observations, basic concepts and explicit/implicit assumptions built into the three major hypotheses for the enriched component(s) in the source of ocean island basalts (OIB) in terms of incompatible trace elements: (1 ...

Fault‐controlled uplift segmentation and crust–mantle heterogeneity in the topographic evolution of the Sındırgı Segment (Western Anatolia) ruptured during the 2025 M6.1 earthquake sequence

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
Swath profile along the Sındırgı Segment. Grey curves show minimum, mean and maximum elevations, and the thick grey line shows elevation‐corrected Moho depth. Coloured circles indicate relative rock uplift from river‐profile inversion while the red curve shows cumulative uplift.

A HIMU‐Like Endmember Hiding in the Turkana Depression Continental Lithospheric Mantle

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The fate of continental lithosphere during rifting is central to the process of continental extension. The continental lithospheric mantle comprises both depleted and enriched domains that may contribute to magma generation during extension.
