How Much Physics Should a Neural Network Know? Thermodynamics‐Informed Neural Networks for Rock Constitutive Modeling With Epistemic Uncertainty

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Machine learning offers a flexible route to constitutive modeling, with two emergent questions for geoscience applications: what level of thermodynamic constraint should be embedded in the network architecture, and how should predictive uncertainty be quantified when extrapolating from laboratory to field conditions? We address both challenges

The Dense MORB Fraction Controls the Dynamic Stability and Hydration Potential of the Mantle Transition Zone

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract The mantle transition zone (MTZ; ∼410–660 km depth) is a major reservoir of water and mid‐ocean ridge basalt (MORB)‐like materials, yet how composition and hydration regulate its physical stability remains unclear. Using geodynamical modeling, we examine the joint effect of water content and dense MORB fraction on the density, viscosity, and ...

Tectonic plates in 3D mantle convection model with stress-history-dependent rheology

Earth, Planets and Space, 2020
Plate tectonics is a key feature of the dynamics of the Earth’s mantle. By taking into account the stress-history-dependent rheology of mantle materials, we succeeded in realistically producing tectonic plates in our numerical model of mantle convection ...

Segmented Moho Uplift and Implications for Magmatic Underplating Beneath the Datong Basin

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Understanding how the deep crust responds to coupled tectonic and magmatic processes is essential for deciphering intracontinental rifting. We apply high‐resolution passive‐source reverse time migration to teleseismic P‐wave receiver functions recorded by a dense seismic array to image the Moho beneath the Datong Basin. Our observations reveal

Mantle structure and tectonic history of SE Asia [PDF]

, 2015
Seismic travel-time tomography of the mantle under SE Asia reveals patterns of subduction-related seismic P-wave velocity anomalies that are of great value in helping to understand the region's tectonic development.

Geodynamic Models of Melt Generation and Extraction at Mid-Ocean Ridges [PDF]

Oceanography, 2012
It is widely accepted that plate divergence at mid-ocean ridges drives mantle flow, mantle melting, and the formation of new oceanic crust. However, many of the details of this process remain obscure because of the inaccessibility of the mantle to direct

Effects of upper mantle heterogeneities on the lithospheric stress field and dynamic topography [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2018
The orientation and tectonic regime of the observed crustal/lithospheric stress field contribute to our knowledge of different deformation processes occurring within the Earth's crust and lithosphere.

The Role of Tectonic Inheritance in Active Rift Seismicity and Magmatism: Constraints From 3‐D Gravity Inversion and D‐InSAR Modeling of the 2025 Fentale Swarm, Ethiopia

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract The role of inherited lithospheric structures in active rift seismicity and magma intrusion remains a key uncertainty in continental breakup dynamics. We investigate the January 2025 Northern Main Ethiopian Rift swarm using constrained 3‐D gravity inversion and D‐InSAR observations to characterize crustal architecture, seismicity, and active ...

A seismological study of the mantle beneath Iceland [PDF]

, 2000
Iceland has long been thought to be underlain by a thermal upwelling, or plume, rising from deep within the mantle. This study tests this hypothesis, by a) seeking evidence for a plume in the lower mantle in azimuth anomalies at the NORSAR array and b ...

Estimation of asthenospheric deformation law for the post glacial rebound based on the deformation mechanism map of olivine

Antarctic Record, 1998
Linear deformation laws have been applied to post glacial rebound, while many speculations based on real rock samples support non-linear rheology in the upper mantle. Essential information is required to support the assumed constitutive relation.
