Evaluating Forced Versus Plume‐Induced Subduction Initiation for the Talkeetna‐Bonanza Arc System: Implications for Permo‐Triassic Paleogeography of the North American Cordillera

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The mechanisms by which new subduction zones form remain highly debated. Here we use Permo‐Triassic strata to evaluate potential mechanisms for initiation of the Talkeetna‐Bonanza Arc of the northern North American Cordillera. New mapping and analysis of Permian and Upper Triassic strata on the Alaska Peninsula suggest a period of uplift ...

Geochemical Constraints on Spatial‐Temporal Distribution and Origin of Anomalous Mantle in the Western Pacific Basins

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Seafloor basalt samples recovered from the Caroline Basin (CB), the Parece Vela Basin (PVB), and the Western Philippine Sea Plate (WPSP) are analyzed for whole‐rock major and trace elements (including H2O), Sr‐Nd‐Pb‐Hf isotopes and 40Ar‐39Ar age‐dating.

New Insights Into Hikurangi Subduction Inputs and Megathrust Host Rocks Spanning Along‐Margin Changes in Fault Slip Behavior

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The seismic behavior of subduction megathrusts varies spatially and is influenced by the properties of subducting plates, including their sedimentary cover. Characterizing these subduction inputs is essential for understanding the mechanisms behind fault slip variability.

Regional‐to‐Global Tectonic and Trench‐Morphology Effects of Oceanic Plateau Subduction

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Regional geodynamic modeling has shown that oceanic plateau subduction can modify the slab behavior. However, few studies have explored these interactions beyond 100 Myr in 3‐D spherical models. Using 3‐D spherical mantle convection models with self‐consistent plate‐like behavior, we investigate how the geometry and rheological properties of ...

Episodic Rifting of a Large Igneous Province Concentrated Along a Microcontinent Boundary

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Many large igneous provinces (LIPs) comprise once contiguous magmatic products that are now fragmented across multiple tectonic plates. Emplacement of these voluminous magmatic products is commonly coeval with, or shortly followed by, fragmentation into constituent domains.

Rotation in the Southeastern Caribbean Arc (Grenadines) Accommodated by Back‐Arc Basin Inversion

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Caribbean tectonic plate is typically modeled as a rigid plate moving along discrete plate boundaries. Isolated exposures on islands have long shown that above the Lesser Antilles subduction zone, the plate experienced contractional, strike‐slip, and extensional deformation, but the importance of this deformation remained long unknown ...

New Phoenix Magnetic Anomaly Data Confirms Global Nature of Jurassic Quiet Zone and Provides Insight Into Early Pacific Spreading

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract We demonstrate the presence of the oldest identifiable marine magnetic anomalies in the Phoenix lineations of the western Pacific based on careful assessment of new data. Recently acquired sea surface magnetic anomalies and multichannel seismic profiles confirm magnetic signals recorded within the Middle‐Jurassic to Early Cretaceous basement ...

Variations of Porosity in Calcareous Sediments from the Ontong Java Plateau

, 1993
Based on index properties measurements made on board the JOIDES Resolution, we studied porosity changes with depth in the fairly homogeneous deep-sea calcareous sediments cored during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 130 on the Ontong Java Plateau. Using Leg 130 data, we present evidence that the rate of porosity decrease with burial in calcareous oozes and ...
