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

Journal 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 ...

Structural Evolution of Antigorite by High‐Velocity Impacts

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Serpentine is a major hydrous mineral present in hydrous asteroids that have evolved through planetary impacts. Understanding its dynamic behavior is essential to elucidate the redistribution and retention of water during high‐velocity impact processes. The shock response of antigorite was examined at pressures up to 106 GPa using laser‐driven

Subduction Initiation and Early Subduction Zone Development: Insights From the P–T–t Path of the Bay of Islands Metamorphic Sole

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 7, Page 510-536, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The processes involved during subduction initiation (SI) remain poorly constrained, in part due to the rarity of geological archives. Ophiolites and their underlying metamorphic soles are thought to form during subduction zone infancy and may thus provide critical constraints. Metamorphic soles are derived from oceanic crust of the lower plate

Stardust Mine: A 2024 gabbroic shergottite from Arizona, USA

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1826-1846, August 2026.
Abstract This study provides an initial characterization of Stardust Mine, a fresh gabbroic enriched shergottite collected in Arizona, USA, in September 2024 and is the first Martian meteorite to be unequivocably collected on US soil. Analysis was conducted on the type specimen and finds that Stardust Mine is composed of equal proportions of pyroxene ...

Ductile Extrusion Triggered by Continental Collision in NE Brazil

Terra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 266-277, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Borborema Province in northeastern Brazil hosts one of the world's largest strike‐slip shear zone networks, active during the late Neoproterozoic assembly of West Gondwana. Whether these shear zones initiated during active continental collision or as a post‐orogenic response to far‐field stresses remains debated.

Effect of controlled magnetic island bifurcation on electron diffusion

Nuclear Fusion
Magnetic islands strongly influence cross-field electron transport in magnetized plasmas. In particular, bifurcations of the island topology modify the number and location of O-points, X-points, and separatrix boundaries, thereby altering diffusion ...

Emergence of Continents Stabilized the Bioavailability of Boron

Terra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 278-284, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Boron is an essential element for the development of life on Earth; borates stabilize ribose in prebiotic reactions and facilitate metabolism in higher plants. There is, however, a relatively narrow surface boron concentration range over which borates stabilize and serve as a micronutrient rather than a toxin.

Calcium Solubility of Bridgmanite in Subducted Basalt in Earth's Lower Mantle

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The calcium solubility in bridgmanite and the resulting abundance of davemaoite under lower‐mantle pressure‐temperature conditions have been under debate following a recent report of extensive calcium dissolution in bridgmanite. We experimentally investigated the calcium solubility in bridgmanite in a basaltic composition at pressures up to ...

Electrical Conductivity of Hydrous Ultramafic Melts With Implications for Origin of Low Velocity Layer Atop of the 410 km Seismic Discontinuity

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Low‐velocity layers (LVLs) above the 410‐km discontinuity are commonly attributed to partial melt generated by dehydration melting when hydrous mantle transition‐zone material rises into the upper mantle, where water solubility in nominally anhydrous minerals decreases.
