Abstract We propose a method to infer detailed spatiotemporal variations in interplate coupling by integrating geodetic and seismic data. It examines whether focal mechanisms of intraplate earthquakes occurring near the plate interface align with the stressing rates caused by a geodetically derived slip‐deficit rate model, evaluating deviations from a ...

Abstract Reconciling Earth's thermal evolution with geochemical observations remains a fundamental challenge, as parameterized convection models typically predict high present‐day Urey ratios inconsistent with geochemical estimates. Previous studies propose that if mantle water concentration varies inversely to mantle temperature, it would weaken the ...

Inception and Plate Evolution of the Lau Back‐Arc Basin From Plate Boundary Refinements
Abstract Back‐arc basins are important settings for crustal growth that form in response to both near and far‐field tectonic influences. To better understand the processes that control back‐arc basin initiation and evolution, we present a refined model of the kinematics of opening of the Lau Basin, embedded in a global plate model.

Infragravity Waves Across a Steep‐Sloping Rough Rocky Seabed on the Inner Shelf
Abstract Observations of infragravity (IG) waves were conducted from June to October 2023 along the rocky shores off China Rock, CA, on the inner shelf at depths of 8–13 m. The study examines inner‐shelf IG wave dynamics over rough, steep rocky shores and compares them with those over smoother, gentler sandy shores and coral reefs. IG energy correlated

Abstract Suspended and slow‐sinking particles, especially those concentrated within nepheloid layers, can act as pivotal mediators of oceanic carbon transport and benthic‐pelagic coupling. However, identifying nepheloid layers and distinguishing their composition (i.e., inorganic particles, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and fish) using only acoustic ...

Brine Pool Microbes Enrich Metalliferous Sediments in Salt Giant Basins
Abstract We report the discovery of an extinct deep‐sea brine pool in the Red Sea's Hume Deep, providing evidence that rift‐shoulder pools are ephemeral on millennial timescales, and that the microbially‐enriched metalliferous deposits produced during the pool's active phase persist into the stratigraphic record.

Abstract Limiting global warming to 1.5°C will require carbon dioxide removal, and Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) is increasingly being explored as a marine carbon dioxide removal pathway. However, benthic biological responses remain much less constrained than water‐column processes and planktonic responses, even though calcareous benthic ...
