Evolution of Tectonically Accreted Topmost Oceanic Lithospheric Mantle Based on Seismic Tomography Constraints at the Ultraslow‐Spreading Southwest Indian Ridge

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Oceanic lithosphere formed at the global mid‐ocean ridge system makes up >60% of Earth's solid surface. Its uppermost ∼6 km are accreted either magmatically, where mafic melt is available, or tectonically, where this melt is absent. The magmatically accreted lithosphere is known to evolve with age, as demonstrated by its velocity increase ...

Crustal Thickness Inversion From Magmatic Geochemistry Reveals Spatiotemporal Evolution and Two‐Stage Uplift of the Iranian Plateau

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Cenozoic topographic growth of the Iranian Plateau, situated at the Arabia‐Eurasia collision front, provides insights into continental collision dynamics. However, the relative contributions of tectonic shortening versus deep mantle processes to crustal thickening remain debated because systematic quantitative constraints on paleo‐crustal ...

Along‐Strike Variations in Sub‐Arc Melting Beneath the Alaska Peninsula Revealed by P‐Wave Attenuation

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
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

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
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

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
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 ...
