Corundum Discovered by SuperCam and the Perseverance Rover at Jezero Crater, Mars

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Mars is primarily composed of mafic mineral assemblages and their alteration products, but small, scattered rocks strewn across the landscape offer clues to greater petrological diversity. While traversing the Jezero crater rim, the Perseverance rover encountered several plagioclase‐rich light‐toned float rocks.

Modeling Anisotropic Signature of Slab‐Induced Mantle Plumes From Thermochemical Piles in the Lowermost Mantle

Geophysical Research Letters
Seismic anisotropy, observed in the lowermost mantle near Large Low‐Shear‐Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs), is likely caused by strong deformation from mantle flow interacting with these regions and/or plume formation.

Seismic Radial Anisotropy of the Southern Tibetan Rifts From Ambient Noise Adjoint Tomography: Basal Shear and Localized Crustal Weak Zones Promote Rifting

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract North–south‐trending rifts in southern Tibet record E–W extension within the Tibetan Plateau, closely linked to high gravitational potential energy from collisional thickening and northward underthrusting of the Indian lower crust. To reveal how basal shear is transmitted upward and controls rifting, we use ambient noise adjoint tomography ...

Hydrothermal Contributions to Elevated Dissolved Organic Carbon Concentrations and Cycling Along the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Hydrothermal systems along the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge (MAR) are spatially variable sources of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to the deep ocean, with implications for carbon cycling and trace‐metal transport. We present DOC measurements from four research cruises focusing on major vent fields at Menez Gwen, Rainbow, Lost City, Broken Spur and TAG ...

Ancient plume-reinforced lithosphere modulates present-day crustal fluid migration and deformation

Nature Communications
Understanding how ancient mantle plume residues modify lithospheric structure and influence tectonic deformation remains challenging, especially in plume-peripheral regions where basalts are not exposed at the surface.

Two Routes to Land: Genomic Underpinnings of Parallel Aerial Egg Deposition in Aquatic Old‐World Pila and New‐World Pomacea (Ampullariidae)

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 48, 28 August 2026.
Comparative genomics of Gondwana‐diverged Pila and Pomacea reveals parallel evolution of aerial oviposition. Convergent chromosomal rearrangements reshape regulatory landscapes within topologically associating domains. Lineage‐specific gene family expansions and viral‐derived perivitelline proteins (PV1) underpin desiccation resistance.

Noble gases confirm plume-related mantle degassing beneath Southern Africa

Nature Communications, 2019
Southern Africa is characterised by unusually elevated topography and abnormal heat flow. This can be explained by thermal perturbation of the mantle, but the origin of this is unclear.

Mussel Spermatozoa Express a Specific Isoform of the Catalytic Subunit of cAMP‐Dependent Protein Kinase

Molecular Reproduction and Development, Volume 93, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT cAMP‐dependent protein kinase (PKA) plays a central role in regulating sperm motility in both invertebrates and mammals. The sea mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis provides a valuable model for investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying gamete activation in externally fertilizing organisms.
