A Triassic chronostratigraphic and palaeogeographic framework for the Utsira High area, northern North Sea: Reconstructing a basin‐scale drainage divide

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Triassic succession of the northern North Sea comprises a series of interbedded sandstones, mudstones and conglomerates deposited under a fluctuating arid to semi‐humid climate regime, which are often difficult to correlate regionally due to differing lithostratigraphic schemes and poor age control. Despite existing regional studies on the

Fault‐Controlled Permeability: A Key Parameter in Geothermal Electricity Production Assessment

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Geothermal energy is central to the global green energy transition, but its development has long focused on regions with positive thermal anomalies. Through a semi‐quantitative global‐scale review and spatial analysis of 361 geothermal sites, we show that 56.2% of global geothermal electricity production occurs in regions with thermal ...

The Earth's Greatest Porous Media

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract How deeply does modern meteoric water circulate into the continental crust? How deep is the Earth's Critical Zone (CZ), the top layer of the continental lithosphere that co‐evolves with the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere, extending from vegetation canopy down to fresh bedrock and the base of active groundwater circulation?

Hydrogen‐Enhanced Grain Boundary Conductivity Explains High‐Conductivity Anomalies in Trans‐Lithospheric Shear Zones

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Magnetotelluric (MT) surveys reveal high electrical conductivity anomalies along major trans‐lithospheric shear zones. Given that trans‐lithospheric shear zones are proposed conduits for deep‐Earth volatiles, we employ molecular dynamics simulations to quantify H+ diffusivity and electrical conductivity at olivine grain boundaries.

Seismic Tremor as a Precursor to Hydrothermal Explosions Near Mutnovsky Volcano (Kamchatka)

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Mutnovsky Volcano, ∼70 km SW of Petropavlovsk‐Kamchatsky, exhibits persistent degassing, hosts active hydrothermal springs and the Mutnovsky Geothermal Power Plant (MGPP) on its slopes. Using the network covariance matrix approach, we analyzed seismic data recorded in 2023–2024 by 15 seismic stations operating around Mutnovsky Volcano.

Design of Hetero‐Core Fiber‐Optic SPR Sensor for Reliable Detection of Geothermal Scale Deposition

Advanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 8, August 2026.
A hetero‐core fiber‐optic SPR sensor provides rapid and reproducible monitoring of geothermal scale deposition. The mechanically robust design improves fabrication consistency and sensitivity compared with conventional sensors. Distinct peak shifts are observed for silica, carbonate, and sulfate scales, enabling fast, in situ evaluation of scale ...

Teleseismic S‐Wave Coda Autocorrelation and vp/vs ${v}_{p}/{v}_{s}$ Distribution Over the Antarctic Ice Sheet

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Accurate characterization of the compressional to shear (P‐to‐S) wave‐speed ratio (vp/vs ${v}_{p}/{v}_{s}$) within the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is crucial for understanding its internal structure, mechanical stability, and vulnerability to a changing climate.

Geothermal resource distribution and prospects for development and utilization in China

Natural Gas Industry B
China is tectonically composed of a series of plates and orogenic belts and has been influenced by the Pacific and Indian plates since the Late Paleozoic, forming a regular distribution of Mesozoic and Cenozoic granites.

Reappraisal of Holocene Caldera Resurgence at Campi Flegrei (Southern Italy): A Long‐Lived Magma‐Driven Resurgent Dome System

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Caldera systems commonly experience inner resurgence, which shapes patterns of volcanic activity. However, incomplete reconstructions of past ground deformation can lead to incorrect recognition of precursory signals. The Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy) provides an exceptional opportunity to address this issue as uplifted marine sediments ...
