Abstract The Rio Grande Rise (RGR) is a major submarine feature in the South Atlantic that plays an important role in regional oceanographic dynamics. This study presents new U‐Pb geochronology of sedimentary rocks from the RGR, offering direct age constraints on carbonate and apatite embedded within Fe‐Mn crusts and associated foraminifera fossils ...

Abstract The Chilean subduction zone is a highly active seismic region, producing megathrust earthquakes approximately every decade. We apply a stochastic approach to assess spatial variations in seismic wave characteristics along the Chilean trench using weak motion data.

Abstract The tectonic evolution of the northern margin of the North China Craton (NCC) remains controversial. In this study, we obtained zircon U–Pb ages, geochemical data, and Sr–Nd isotopic data for volcanic rocks, and detrital zircon ages for sedimentary rocks from the Yufutun, Tongqigou, and Benxi formations in central‐southern Jilin Province, NE ...

Abstract The diverse volcanic activity in the Alaska Peninsula section of the Alaska‐Aleutian subduction zone is presumably caused by substantial variations in mantle wedge melting or trans‐crustal processes beneath the arc. In this study, we investigate sub‐arc melting beneath the Alaska Peninsula by measuring P‐wave attenuation, as attenuation is ...

Dynamic Evolution of Forearc Subsidence Controlled by Slab Geometry
Abstract Several subduction zones worldwide present an enigmatic forearc topography and strain characterized by extension at a forearc ridge near the trench and shortening within a forearc valley located between the ridge and the magmatic arc. The development of this topography has been linked to progressive slab steepening, while strain patterns ...

Seamounts host some of the most biodiverse and vulnerable deep-sea ecosystems, as epitomised by the elevated diversity and biomass of fauna associated with extensive reefs of the frame-work forming coral Solenosmilia variabilis.

Seafloor Displacements Across the Mid‐Ocean Ridge Eruption Cycle Modulated by Mush Zone Viscosity
Abstract Mid‐ocean ridges (MORs) are active volcanic systems where axial magma lenses (AMLs) are replenished on decadal time scales, enabling frequent dike intrusions. The associated seafloor deformation, however, remains scarcely understood. Here we assess this deformation by simulating cycles of steady AML inflation followed by instantaneous dike ...

ABSTRACT Aim Marine species ranges are often large, contributing to relatively high community similarity over space, with decreased ranges expected among taxa that have lower dispersal and/or higher substrate requirements. We tested for a weakening of biogeographic structuring among dispersing abyssal taxa along the benthic to holoplanktonic habitat ...
