Interplay Between Tectonics and Submarine Mass Transport Deposits in Cortes Basin: New High‐Resolution Geophysics in the Outer California Borderland

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Outer California Borderland (OCB) is an active transform plate boundary offshore Southern California, where the relationship between faulting and submarine mass transport deposits (MTDs) remains poorly understood. Onshore paleoseismic data provide high‐resolution earthquake records, whereas marine geophysical data capture longer‐term ...

Crust-mantle decoupling revealed by seismic velocity anisotropy beneath Syowa Station, Antarctica

Antarctic Record, 1997
We analyzed shear wave splittings in the crust beneath Syowa Station, using Moho converted Ps waves. Three set of receiver functions and stacked receiver functions from Tonga events are analyzed.

Fracture‐Assisted Pressure Solution Creep of Granite: An Example From the Mont Blanc Massif, Western Alps

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Mont Blanc granite, as other deformed granites, has splitting properties attributed to two perpendicular planes: one formed by aligned fractures and the other by aligned micas in foliation planes. It is shown that this microstructure results from ductile deformation with stress‐driven dissolution of quartz and feldspar that passively ...

Quantifying Vein Network Permeability in Dehydrated Serpentinites Using Thermodynamics and Generative AI

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Fluids released from subducting hydrated rocks influence volcanism, tectonics, and geochemical cycling, but the mechanisms of fluid escape in subduction zones remain poorly understood. We address this issue by investigating the Erro‐Tobbio meta‐serpentinites (ET‐MS), Italy, exhumed serpentinite rocks that preserve extensive dehydration vein ...

Review on crustal anisotropy investigations beneath the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau based on azimuthal variations of receiver functions

地球与行星物理论评
Seismic anisotropy provides key information about the past and present deformations of the crust and mantle below and is crucial for understanding the interior structure of the Earth and deep dynamic processes.

Mantle Transition Zone Topography in New Zealand From Teleseismic P $P$‐Wave Receiver Functions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The geology of New Zealand has been shaped by tectonic plate interactions driven by mantle convection over the past 60 million years, but the effects of these interactions on the transition to the lower mantle are not yet well understood. We analyze 10 years of teleseismic P $P$‐wave receiver functions using common conversion point stacking to

Large‐Scale Flow Toward Low‐Velocity Anomalies Reconciles Seismic and Geodynamic Constraints in the Deepest Mantle Beneath Alaska

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Deep mantle downwellings are typically located away from the two Large Low‐Velocity Provinces (LLVPs) in Earth's mantle. Geodynamic models based on global seismic tomography generally predict that convective flow at the core‐mantle boundary spreads laterally away from downwelling regions and toward LLVPs.
