In Situ Carbonation of Sedimentary and Igneous Rocks of Ultramafic Composition in Jezero Crater, Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Over 3.5 years of exploration in Jezero Crater, the Perseverance rover has explored several geological units of diverse origins and natures, performing multi‐technique remote analyses of the chemistry and mineralogy of rocks with the SuperCam instrument suite.

Testing the Limits of Provenance Analysis From Basaltic Fluvial Sediment Near Sandvatn, Iceland, as a Mars Analog

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Detrital sediments that accumulate downstream and are preserved in sedimentary rocks can allow characterization of geologic formations that are inaccessible for spatial or temporal reasons. However, mixing, sorting, and alteration of sediment during transport may complicate reconstruction of protolith characteristics.

Depositional constraints and age of metamorphism in southern India: U-Pb chemical (EMPA) and isotopic (SIMS) ages from the Trivandrum Block [PDF]

, 2005
We report U–Pb electron microprobe (zircon and monazite) and Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) U–Pb (zircon) ages from a granulite-facies metapelite and a garnet–biotite gniess from Chittikara, a classic locality within the Trivandrum Block of ...

Neighboring Ridgetops With Distinct Weathering Drivers Have Strikingly Similar Saprolite Chemical Weathering

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Chemical weathering, and the subsequent porosity it generates controls soil development, water cycling, and nutrient availability. However, predicting spatial variability in chemical weathering remains challenging due to complex interactions between dominant drivers including climate, topography, water cycling, and vegetation dynamics.

Polycyclic Metamorphism, Exhumation, and Recycling of Subduction Complex Rocks, Cedros Island, Baja California

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract High‐pressure rocks from subduction complexes are key records of the physical and chemical processes that operate on the subduction interface, but interpretation of these records requires accurate structural understanding of where they formed in the subduction zone and the mechanisms by which they were exhumed. We present new geologic mapping,

Coesite Discovery in Eclogites Confirms UHP Metamorphism in the Orlica‐Śnieżnik Dome (SW Poland)

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 3, Page 200-225, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Eclogite lenses are exposed within the orthogneiss‐dominated core of the Orlica‐Śnieżnik Dome in the Sudetes, which forms the northeastern margin of the Bohemian Massif (Variscan Belt of Central Europe). The presence of coesite inclusions in garnet and omphacite confirms that these eclogites underwent ultrahigh‐pressure metamorphism.

Stability and isotopic dating of monazite and allanite in partially molten rocks: examples from the Central Alps [PDF]

, 2018
We investigated the stability of monazite and allanite as a function of bulk rock composition within several types of Tertiary Alpine anatexites, characterized by different compositions and melting reactions, but similar P-T conditions of melting.

The making of pure quartzose sand in continental interiors: Paraná River (Brazil and Argentina)

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 802-837, April 2026.
ABSTRACT As part of a comprehensive project on sedimentary processes in South America, this study focuses on sediment generation in the intracratonic Paraná Basin and monitors the evolution of sand composition along the Paraná River from central Brazil to the Río de la Plata estuary in Argentina.

Pan-African metamorphic and magmatic rocks of the Khanka Massif, NE China: Further evidence regarding their affinity [PDF]

, 2010
The Khanka Massif is a crustal block located along the eastern margin of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) and bordered to the east by Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous circum-Pacific accretionary complexes of the Eastern Asian continental margin.

Exploring the Gravimetric and Geochronological Links in Ancient Terranes of the São Francisco Craton and Borborema Province, NE‐Brazil

Terra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 77-86, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Deep crustal fragments and structural lineaments identified through satellite gravity data provide evidence for the extension of the reworked ancient basement of the Central African Block into the northern São Francisco Craton and southern Borborema Province.
