Magmatic and Tectonic Structures in the Crust Beneath Armenia and Surrounding Regions of Lesser Caucasus Inferred From Body‐Wave Earthquake Tomography

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The Armenian Highlands, a tectonically active segment of the Arabia‐Eurasia collision zone, exhibit widespread Quaternary volcanism, rapid uplift, and intense seismicity. However, the lithospheric processes driving these phenomena remain poorly understood.

Surface reactivity of amphibole asbestos. A comparison between crocidolite and tremolite [PDF]

, 2017
Among asbestos minerals, fibrous riebeckite (crocidolite) and tremolite share the amphibole structure but largely differ in terms of their iron content and oxidation state. In asbestos toxicology, iron-generated free radicals are largely held as one of

Effects of Aging on Magnetic Mineralogy of Natural Volcanic Glass: Implications for Geomagnetic Paleointensity Recorders

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Natural volcanic glasses are well represented in the geologic record, and typically contain near‐ideal single‐domain particles required for standard Thellier‐type absolute paleointensity experiments. Young (<∼50–100 ka) glasses have been demonstrated to reliably record Earth's magnetic field.

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

Journal 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.

MORPHOLOGICAL AND COMPOSITIONAL FEATURES OF CHROMIAN SPINEL FROM MANTLE ULTRAMAFIC ROCKS OF THE NURALI MASSIF (SOUTH URALS) [PDF]

Минералогия, 2019
Accessory chromian spinels of lherzolites and dunites from a mantle section of the Nurali ophiolite massif are described in the paper. Lherzolites typically host anhedral chromian spinel grains associated with olivine, pyroxenes and plagioclase.

Deep Sources of Recent Volcanism in Armenia Inferred From Ambient Noise Tomography

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract We perform Rayleigh wave ambient noise tomography to investigate crustal seismic velocity structure and sources of volcanism in Armenia. Armenia, a key part of the tectonically and volcanically active Caucasus‐Anatolia region, is actively being deformed by the ongoing Arabian‐Eurasian continental collision.

Polygenetic ophiolite belt of the California Sierra Nevada: Geochronological and tectonostratigraphic development [PDF]

, 1982
The assumption that ophiolite sequences are generated at essentially one point in geologic time by the process of sea-floor spreading is critical for modern concepts in the tectonics of ophiolites and for topics dealing with their structure and petrology.

Stratigraphy of Carbonate‐Bearing Rocks at the Margin of Jezero Crater, Mars: Evidence for Shoreline Processes?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Martian carbonate‐bearing rocks are compelling targets for exploration because they preserve detailed records of past aqueous processes, climate, and habitability. The Margin unit in Jezero crater is a distinct olivine‐ and carbonate‐bearing unit stratigraphically underlying the western fan, lining the inner margin of the western crater rim ...
