Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract Since the Mesozoic, much of the eastern China lithosphere was removed through thermo‐mechanical erosion and delamination, yet the effects on the overlying crust remain unclear. The Tanlu Fault Zone (TLFZ), the region's largest lithosphere‐scale weakness, offers a natural laboratory to assess crustal responses to lithospheric destruction.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract Among the reported seismic events on the Moon, shallow moonquakes are known for their unique features, such as high‐frequency energy excitation, similarity to intraplate earthquakes, and the largest energy release of all reported moonquakes. Despite these interesting features, a small number of samples (<80 events) and sparse seismic network ...

Seismic Imaging Reveals Ongoing Modification of Craton Margins in Northeast Asia
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract Cratonic margins are commonly modified, yet the processes responsible remain debated. The Korean Peninsula, situated between adjacent cratons, the Japan Trench, and a back‐arc system, provides a natural setting to investigate this problem. Using 4 years of dense seismic observations, we image upper‐mantle structure beneath the peninsula with P‐

Geologically Current Rates of Hotspot Motion
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract Hotspots, sites of mid‐plate volcanism or of excessive volcanism along a plate boundary, overlie plumes of hot rock that rise in the solid state from Earth's mantle. Previously estimated rates of lateral hotspot motion relative to a hotspot reference frame since Late Cretaceous time range from ∼3 to ∼80 mm/yr.

Rheology of Indian continental crust and upper mantle
Journal of Earth System Science, 1991 A rheological model of the Indian shield has been constructed using the thermal structure derived from available surface heat flow and heat generation data and the flow properties of characteristic minerals and rocks like quartz, diabase and olivine which respectively represent the upper crust, lower crust and upper mantle.

Multiscale Modeling of the Mantle Rheology
, 2018 Le projet de recherche Modélisation multiéchelle de la rhéologie des minéraux du manteau (dont l’acronyme anglais est RheoMan) a été lauréat de l’ERC (European research Council) suite à l’appel d’offre Advanced Grant de 2011. Il visait à proposer une nouvelle approche de la rhéologie du manteau basée sur une approche de physique des minéraux qui ...

Influence of Inherited Rifted Margin Architecture on Continental Collision Dynamics
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Continental collision is a key process in lithospheric evolution, driving mountain building, crustal thickening, and supercontinent assembly. Within the Wilson cycle, collision marks the final stage following rifting, ocean spreading, and subduction.

Rheology of the lower mantle: a review
Progress in Earth and Planetary ScienceAbstract We review our current understanding of the rheological properties of the lower mantle based both on materials science and geophysics points of view. We assume a simple model of the lower mantle that is made of only two minerals: bridgmanite (Br) (Mg,Fe)SiO3 and ferropericlase (Fp) (Mg,Fe)O, and address a question of (i) which mineral

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract The fate of an oceanic plate that has been subducted over an extended period of time involves slab break‐off, which can occur either simultaneously across the entire slab or locally, creating a tear that propagates sub‐horizontally. These processes are thought to explain various geological observations, such as the evolution of foreland basins,
