Melt‐Regulated Crustal Kinematics in the Pamir, NW Tibetan Plateau: Insights From Surface‐Wave Tomography

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract The Pamir, located at the northwestern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, is undergoing E–W extension within its interior, accommodated by micro‐block motions along major fault systems; however, the mechanisms governing this modern block kinematics remain elusive.

Rheology of the Earth's mantle and geodynamical processes

Geophysical Research Letters, 1991
A non‐linear integral rheological model consistent with general creep theory and laboratory studies of rock creep is proposed to describe the rheology of the Earth's mantle. This model is universal, i.e., relevant to all strains, stresses and timescales. For constant stresses the model behaves like a power law non‐Newtonian fluid.

Toward an Improved Understanding of the Antarctic Coastal Zone and Its Contribution to Future Global Sea Level

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding the coastal zone of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), where it interacts with the Southern Ocean and warmer air masses, is crucial for predicting Antarctica's influence on the global climate and sea level. This region has multiple tipping mechanisms that could trigger large, rapid, and potentially irreversible changes in the AIS ...

Lithospheric Mantle Heterogeneity Drives Delayed Magmatism and Wide Continent‐Ocean Transitions in Rifted Margins

Geophysical Research Letters
The formation of wide, magma‐starved continent–ocean transition (COT) zones remains incompletely understood. We use 2‐D thermo‐mechanical numerical experiments, coupling hydrous mantle melting with parameterized crustal accretion, to explore controls on ...

Mechanisms of Transient Postseismic Deformation Following the 2024 Mw 7.5 Noto Peninsula Earthquake Inferred From Horizontal and Vertical GNSS Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The 2024 Mw 7.5 Noto Peninsula earthquake provided an opportunity to investigate postseismic deformation in a tectonically complex back‐arc region in central Japan, where Miocene normal faults are reactivated under present‐day compression.

On the predictability limit of convection models of the Earth's mantle

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2014
Reconstructing convective flow in the Earth's mantle is a crucial issue for a diversity of disciplines, from seismology to sedimentology. The common and fundamental limitation of these reconstructions based on geodynamic modeling is the unknown initial ...

Characterization of the Plumbing System Beneath Askja Caldera, Iceland, Revealed by Microgravity and Deformation Data During Uplift Between 2022 and 2023

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract In July 2021, an episode of uplift started at Askja caldera, Iceland, following over 50 years of subsidence. The initial inflation rate was approximately 700mm/yr $700\hspace*{.5em}\mathrm{m}\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{y}\mathrm{r}$, declining to 350mm/yr $350\hspace*{.5em}\mathrm{m}\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{y}\mathrm{r}$ within 1 month.

Mantle strength of the San Andreas fault system and the role of mantle-crust feedbacks [PDF]

, 2015
In lithospheric-scale strike-slip fault zones, upper crustal strength is well constrained from borehole observations and fault rock deformation experiments, but mantle strength is less well known. Using peridotite xenoliths, we show that the upper mantle

GIA‐Induced Mantle Circulation and Surface Horizontal Motions in North America: Effects of 3D Laterally Varying Elastic Thickness and Viscosity

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The horizontal surface motions of the Earth's crust induced by glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) are highly sensitive to lateral variations in Earth properties. We construct 3D GIA models by incorporating both varying elastic lithospheric thickness and lateral viscosity variations in the asthenosphere in a global, compressible, self ...
