Uplift of the Transantarctic Mountains: Evidence for an Evolving and Long‐Lived Rayleigh‐Taylor Instability

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Rayleigh‐Taylor instabilities within the upper mantle are investigated as a mechanism for the uplift of rift‐margin mountain ranges within the continents. Our focus is on the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM). These mountains form at the margin between East and West Antarctica and have been free from the effects of subduction for about 500 ...

Seismic Characteristics of the Gas Hydrate System in the Mackenzie Trough of the Canadian Beaufort Sea, Arctic Ocean

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We present a comprehensive seismic characterization of the gas hydrate system in the outer continental shelf of the Mackenzie Trough, Canadian Beaufort Sea, based on recently acquired multichannel seismic (MCS) data, P‐wave velocity modeling, and 3D thermal modeling. We identified high‐amplitude, reverse‐polarity Bottom‐Simulating Reflections (

Shallow Geothermal Energy Resources for Future Utilization in Jordan

open access: yesOpen Journal of Geology, 2019
Geothermal energy is considered as one of the new-green-free renewable energy resources that Jordan is blessed with. Geothermal energy installation in Jordan will have a positive impact on the economy, it will reduce the national energy bill. Shallow geothermal systems are likely to be promising for future utilization in the country. Therefore, further

Quantitative analysis of channel characteristics of distributive fluvial systems

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 1606-1630, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Distributive fluvial systems (DFSs) are characterised by a radial distributive channel pattern in planform and dominate modern‐day sedimentary basins. Where aggradation occurs, such as in sedimentary basins, there is increased preservation potential, and therefore, DFSs are hypothesised to constitute a significant portion of the continental ...

Meeting the demand: geothermal heat supply rates for an urban quarter in Germany

open access: yesGeothermal Energy, 2019
Thermal energy for space heating and for domestic hot water use represents about a third of the overall energy demand in Germany. An alternative to non-renewable energy-based heat supply is the implementation of closed and open shallow geothermal systems,

Dark Land Surfaces Allow for Refugia That Could Support Photosynthetic Life on the Surface of Snowball Earth

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Photosynthetic eukaryotic algae survived the Neoproterozoic Snowball Earth events, indicating that liquid‐water refugia existed somewhere on the surface. We examine the potential for refugia at the coldest time of a snowball event, before CO2 had risen and with high‐albedo ice on the frozen ocean, before it became darkened by dust deposition ...

IMPACT OF GEOTHERMAL GRADIENT ON GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMP SYSTEM MODELING

open access: yesRudarsko-geološko-naftni Zbornik, 2014
ndisturbed ground temperature is one of the most crucial thermogeological parameters needed for shallow geothermal resources assessment. Energy considered to be geothermal is energy stored in the ground at depths where solar radiation has no effect.
