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 ...

Stress Barriers and Their Impact on Rupture Propagation
Abstract Earthquake ruptures often exhibit complex behaviors, including abrupt arrest followed by delayed re‐nucleation. While on‐fault stress heterogeneity is a recognized contributing factor, as it can arrest or slow down rupture propagation, its interaction with propagating ruptures remains complex and not fully understood. Here, we study frictional

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

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.

Thresholds of Wave Forcing: Implications for Atoll Reef Dynamics Under Sea Level Rise
Abstract We investigate the response of shallow reef flow to tidal variability and wave exposure during a 4‐month field campaign in southern Huvadhu Atoll, Maldives. Incident waves breaking on steep fore reefs and reef crests generate a setup proportional to offshore wave height that drives a cross‐reef flow. We emphasize a critical threshold—where the
