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

Ecological, Functional, and Phylogenetic Determinants of Cyanobacterial Biomineralisation
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.Cyanobacteria contribute to the global carbon cycle by biomineralising CO2 into solid carbonates. Unlike photosynthesis, biomineralisation is a less‐understood, multifaceted and adaptive metabolic process with significant global impact. It involves cell wall structures, genetic factors, and metabolic pathways that enable mineral formation and help ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.Abstract On March 9th $9\mathrm{th}$, 2023, three small earthquakes (3.8≤Mw≤4.5) $(3.8\le {M}_{w}\le 4.5)$ occurred near Umbertide (Central Italy), within 4 hours. Analyzing seismic ambient noise in the frequency band 0.1–1 Hz from six seismometers within 20 km of the Mw 4.5, we detect a significant drop in seismic velocity at the time of occurrence of

Davemaoite Elasticity Reveals Slab‐Induced Heterogeneity in the Mantle Transition Zone
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.Abstract The observed 2%–7% low‐shear velocity (VS) anomalies near the subducted slab at the bottom mantle transition zone (MTZ) indicate strong lateral heterogeneity, which is commonly attributed to subducted oceanic crust. However, davemaoite, a major constituent of the subducted oceanic crust, has been poorly constrained in its elasticity, hindering
