Stress and Rock Failure Near Salt Bodies: Insights From Field Observations, Kinematic Modeling, and Mechanical Analysis Near Arches National Park, Paradox Basin, Utah

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Salt's inherent weakness and capacity for ductile deformation create significant mechanical contrasts that locally perturb the stress field in surrounding rocks, often leading to deviations from regional tectonic stresses. Variations in local stress are a critical factor for wellbore stability, seal integrity, and fluid flow in subsurface ...

Investigation of the relationships between basin morphology, tectonic uplift, and denudation from the study of an active fold belt in the Siwalik Hills, central Nepal [PDF]

, 1999
The present study investigates correlations between an extensive range of geomorphic properties that can be estimated from a digital elevation model and the uplift rate on geological timescales.

Temporal Changes in Europa's Ice Shell Thickness: Insights From Models of Convection

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Europa is characterized by a thin ice Ih shell overlying a subsurface ocean and a large solid core. Estimates of the outer ice shell's thickness range from a few kilometers to several tens of kilometers, with strong implications for Europa's thermal and geological history.

Shape Matters: Unlocking Transport Histories in Fine‐Grained Aeolian Sediments With Endmember Modeling of Size–Shape Distributions

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The transport medium, mode, energy, and distance are recorded in the grain‐size and grain‐shape distributions in a sedimentary deposit. While grain‐size analysis has long been used in sedimentology, grain‐shape analysis is increasingly recognized as a valuable tool for reconstructing sedimentary processes and palaeoenvironments.

Role of Faulting in Salt Deformation and Hydrocarbon Trapping in the Missan Oilfields, Southeastern Iraq

Geosciences
In the Missan oilfields, the linkage among basement faults, halokinesis, and hydrocarbon accumulation, and their control on structural-trap geometry and seal effectiveness, remains insufficiently constrained, especially the timing/drivers of salt ...

Slab‐Mantle Interaction During Subduction Initiation: Constraints From Trace Element and Sr‐Nd‐Pb Isotope Systematics of Boninite and Other Magmas and Metamorphic Sole in the Oman Ophiolite

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Late Cretaceous Oman ophiolite includes a series of volcanic rocks generated during the transition from spreading ridge to protoarc associated with subduction initiation. We analyzed major and trace elements and Sr, Nd, and Pb isotope compositions of lavas and dikes of the protoarc stage, especially boninites. We also analyzed amphibolites

A Lithospheric Drip Triggered Green and Colorado River Integration

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The integration of the Green and Colorado Rivers shifted the continental drainage divide of North America, marking a key event in the hydrological and biogeographical evolution of the continent. Sedimentological and stratigraphic evidence shows that for integration to occur, the Green River likely cut through the Uinta Mountains between 8 and ...
