Formation and Alteration of Magnesite Nodules From Kunwarara, Queensland, Australia, as an Analog to Mg‐Carbonate Formation on Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Magnesite (MgCO3) is a magnesium (Mg) carbonate mineral that records the aqueous environmental conditions of its formation. On Earth, magnesite forms in metamorphic, diagenetic or pedogenic environments, and distinguishing between these environments is critical for understanding the fluid chemistry during magnesite precipitation. Mg carbonates

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 ...

Reactivity of a plagioclase concentrate from the South African Bushveld Igneous Complex via extractive acid leaching vs. extractive roasting-leaching processes

Discover Materials
This study compared the reactivity of a plagioclase concentrate subjected to two processes: (1) direct acid leaching and (2) thermochemical treatment with ammonium sulfate followed by leaching.

Biosignature Preservation in Stromatolites From the Carri Laufquen Lakes System, Patagonia: Implications for Martian Palaeolacustrine Environments

Geobiology, Volume 24, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT The Carri Laufquen Lakes System is a highly alkaline, basalt‐hosted lacustrine environment in northern Patagonia, Argentina. Diverse morphologies of Late Pleistocene sub‐fossil stromatolites occur along the lakeshores. Using detailed optical and electron microscopy, spectroscopy and organic geochemical analyses, this study shows that ...

(Ultra)high‐Pressure Metamorphism in Sedimentary Versus Basaltic Rocks: Insights From a Variscan Mélange in the South Carpathians

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 8, Page 585-610, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Reconstructing the pressure–temperature–time (P–T–t) evolution of (ultra)high‐pressure rocks is essential for constraining subduction and collisional dynamics. Subduction zones are often investigated using basic eclogites, whereas nonbasic high‐pressure rocks remain comparatively understudied, potentially hindering a comprehensive ...

The first discovery of a shocked, metasomatised CV3 chondrule‐fragment in a (Al,Cu)‐bearing micrometeorite

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 9, Page 2269-2283, September 2026.
Abstract We report the discovery of the second (Al,Cu)‐alloy–bearing micrometeorite, FB‐A2, recovered from Mount Gariglione (southern Italy), representing the sixth such occurrence worldwide. Although chondritic in nature, FB‐A2 differs markedly from previously described microspherules.

Characterization of coesite‐bearing impact melt glass from the Hapcheon crater, Korea: Trimodal phase architecture, shock metamorphism, and implications for 40Ar/39Ar geochronology

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 9, Page 2233-2257, September 2026.
Abstract We present the first micrometer‐scale, phase‐resolved compositional characterization of impact melt glass from the Hapcheon crater (~1.4 km apparent diameter), the first confirmed impact structure on the Korean Peninsula, integrating EPMA‐WDS (5 μm spot), confocal Raman spectroscopy (<1 μm spot), XRD, and 40Ar/39Ar step‐heating geochronology ...

Direct Detection of Hydrogen Reveals a New Macroscopic Crustal Water Reservoir on Early Mars

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract The next great leap in Martian exploration is the return of samples to Earth. Maximizing their scientific value requires non‐destructive analytical techniques for early three‐dimensional characterization. Neutron computed tomography (CT), highly sensitive to hydrogen, complements conventional X‐ray CT and enables the detection of hydrous ...

Corundum Discovered by SuperCam and the Perseverance Rover at Jezero Crater, Mars

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Mars is primarily composed of mafic mineral assemblages and their alteration products, but small, scattered rocks strewn across the landscape offer clues to greater petrological diversity. While traversing the Jezero crater rim, the Perseverance rover encountered several plagioclase‐rich light‐toned float rocks.

Time‐dependent (Creep) Compaction in Volcanic Rocks

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Porous volcanic rocks form volcanic edifices and host key geothermal reservoirs worldwide. When subjected to constant stress above dilatancy in the brittle regime, these materials undergo time‐dependent failure known as brittle creep. In the ductile regime, where deformation is compactive, time‐dependent compaction—compaction creep—has been ...
