Lithospheric Delamination Below the North American Midcontinent Ceased Subsidence in Cratonic Basins
Abstract Cratonic lithospheres carry a long history of tectonic modifications that result in heterogeneous structures, as revealed by an increasing number of geophysical observations. The existence of cratonic basins indicates protracted periods of tectonic modification, causing subsidence within global continental interiors.

Abstract Geomagnetic indices can be used to quantify variations in geomagnetic activity caused by Sun‐Earth interactions across the magnetosphere and ionosphere. The global Kp index is widely used as a global geomagnetic indicator, but it is based mostly on the Northern Hemisphere with no contributions from South American observatories.

Abstract The Appalachian‐Caledonian orogen was built during the Paleozoic by accretion of peri‐Gondwanan terranes onto Laurentia, culminating in the formation of Pangea. During the Mesozoic, Pangea broke apart, displacing one section of the belt to eastern North America and another to northwestern Europe.

Stress Barriers and Their Impact on Rupture Propagation
Abstract Earthquake ruptures often exhibit complex behaviors, including abrupt arrest followed by delayed re‐nucleation. While on‐fault stress heterogeneity is a recognized contributing factor, as it can arrest or slow down rupture propagation, its interaction with propagating ruptures remains complex and not fully understood. Here, we study frictional

Abstract We present idealized 3‐D discrete element simulations exploring how varying boundary roughness and grain‐size distribution affect bulk granular‐rheology and basal‐force distributions. Boundary roughness has a direct control on the internal static friction coefficient.
