Late Carboniferous Paleomagnetism From North Qiangtang Block Reveals a Multibranched Paleo‐Tethys Ocean

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The North Qiangtang Block occupies a pivotal position within the eastern Tethyan realm, and its paleogeographic reconstruction is critical for constraining Tethyan geometry and evolution. However, its Late Paleozoic paleogeography and Paleo‐Tethyan Ocean–continent configuration remain controversial due to limited reliable age‐constrained ...

Pleistocene and Holocene Mobility of Detrital Platinum in Southern New Zealand: Review and Regional Synthesis

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Detrital platinum group minerals (PGM) are rare and distinctive in Pleistocene–Holocene sedimentary systems of the southern South Island, thereby enabling tracking of their long‐distance transport for ∼200 km. The first ∼100 km of transport involved Pleistocene glaciofluvial processes southwards down the Waiau River, where PGM (principally Pt–Fe and Ru–

Anomalous Sample Detection Tool and Its Application in Identifying Interbasin Groundwater Flow in the Yarlung Zangbo River Basin, Tibetan Plateau

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Interbasin groundwater flow (IGF) is increasingly recognized as an important but difficult‐to‐diagnose component of regional groundwater flow systems. Recent studies highlight that major rifts within the Yarlung Zangbo River Basin (YZRB) may facilitate IGF, but the role of all six major rifts remains unclear.

Mapping Quartz and Feldspar Areal Abundance and Grain Sizes Using Integrated VTIR Data

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Mineral dust is sourced from arid regions around the globe, and its composition impacts regional and global environments by affecting radiation balance, cloud formation, nutrient deposition, and snowmelt. As such, mineral dust plays a key role in Earth's energy and biogeochemical budgets.

Middle Cretaceous Andean‐Type Arc Evolution in the Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone (Shalair Valley), Iraq: New Geochronological and Geochemical Constraints

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The middle Cretaceous granitoid plutons of the Shalair Valley, situated in northeastern Iraq, constitute a principal magmatic component of the Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone within the northwestern segment of the Zagros Orogenic Belt. Among these plutons, the equigranular Aulan body (AG) and the porphyritic Laladar body (LG) were crystallized at 111.0 ±

The Seismic Signature of the Atlantis Massif Oceanic Detachment Fault Determined From Crystallographic Preferred Orientation and Microstructure

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract At slow‐spreading mid‐ocean ridges large scale detachment faults partly accommodate the spreading process. The mafic and ultramafic rocks at the ridges are infiltrated by water and change their mineralogy. Subsequently or contemporaneously to these reactions, detachment faulting takes place.

Composition and Mineralogical Features of Ultramafic Rocks of Eastern Part of Southern Kraka Massif (South Urals)

Georesursy
The paper presents new data on the structure and composition of ultramafic rocks in the eastern part of the South Kraka massif. It is shown that the studied area is composed predominantly of spinel peridotites, among which the main role belongs to ...
