Lithospheric Delamination Below the North American Midcontinent Ceased Subsidence in Cratonic Basins

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Cratonic lithospheres carry a long history of tectonic modifications that result in heterogeneous structures, as revealed by an increasing number of geophysical observations. The existence of cratonic basins indicates protracted periods of tectonic modification, causing subsidence within global continental interiors.

The Temperature and Composition of the Mantle Sources of Martian Basalts

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
The composition of basaltic melts in equilibrium with the mantle can be determined for several Martian meteorites and in‐situ rover analyses. We use the melting model MAGMARS to reproduce these primary melts and estimate the bulk composition and ...

Si Isotope Fractionation in Metamorphic Rocks From Cryogenic Temperature Crystallographic Data and Quantum Phonon Model

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract In this study, we demonstrate that it is possible to fit the resilience at the high temperature limit using only the atomic mean square displacement determined from cryogenic temperature single crystal diffraction data. Our method introduces the Debye phonon model, under which the atomic mean square displacement displays quantum behavior at ...

CO2‐Rich Rejuvenated Stage Lavas on Hawaiian Islands

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
Sedimentary carbonates are sent to the deep mantle if they are not completely destroyed at subduction zones, and subducted carbonates may contribute to plume volcanism.

Characterizing Martian Primary Crustal Compositions With Gamma Ray Spectroscopy

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Mars's global‐scale chemical maps of the midlatitudes, derived from Mars Odyssey gamma and neutron spectroscopy, have constrained martian geology across a multitude of processes. However, the chemical maps are often used to analyze pre‐defined regions based on mapped geology and/or mineralogy.

Cooling‐Induced Rheological Weakening Along the Nascent Plate Interface—A Mechanism for Catastrophic Subduction Initiation?

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Subduction initiation often begins with slow, forced convergence, switches “on” catastrophically as the slab collapses into the mantle, and then evolves to steady‐state, self‐sustained sinking that drives global plate movements. Numerical models suggest that the collapse phase implies sudden weakening of the plate interface.

Crustal Structure Across the Okavango Rift, Botswana: The SEISORZ Wide‐Angle Seismic Experiment

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The Okavango Rift Zone (ORZ) is an incipient continental rift in Botswana at the terminus of the Southwestern Branch of the East African Rift System. The lack of syn‐rift magmatism and tectonic processes overprinting pre‐rift structures provide an opportunity to investigate incipient‐stage rift processes and the role of pre‐existing structures

East Meets West: The Trace of the Mesoproterozoic Kibaran Event in the Mantle Lithosphere Beneath Eastern Tanzania

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract We present elemental geochemistry and multiple isotopic systematics (Re‐Os, Lu‐Hf, Sm‐Nd and Sr) for mantle peridotite xenoliths from Lashaine in northern Tanzania. We use the data to examine how the major Proterozoic tectono‐thermal events that affected the crust of the western Tanzanian craton are imprinted on the lithospheric mantle in the ...
