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 Low‐temperature hydrothermal manganese oxides occur throughout the global oceans. However, the hydrothermal replacement of a carbonate ooze by manganese oxides is described here for the first time. The 24 samples dredged from three locations around the Territory of American Samoa in the South Pacific Ocean include six samples with remnant ...

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 ...

Seamounts represent crust-mantle activities and are areas of petrological deviations, biodiversity, seismicity and hydrothermal events. An estimated ~50 million tons/year of basalts are required to produce seamounts suggesting intense oceanic volcanism.

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 ...

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 ...

Prioritizing Shark, Ray, and Chimaera Conservation in Rapidly Changing Polar Waters
Polar sharks, rays, and chimaeras face growing pressures from changing sea‐ice conditions, expanding fisheries, and limited protection. Our assessment highlights where critical habitats occur and how Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) can support more targeted conservation and fisheries management across the Arctic and Antarctic.
