The Chamrousse Ophiolite (Western Alps, France): Relict of a Devono‐Carboniferous Ocean
ABSTRACT The Chamrousse ophiolite (Western Alps, France) is one of the best‐preserved Variscan relicts of Cambro‐Ordovician oceanisation within the northern Gondwana margin. This study presents new in situ U–Pb isotope analyses on zircon grains from that ophiolite, revealing that the oceanic stage in Chamrousse has occurred 150 Ma later than estimated.

A Young Crustal Component in the Caroline Mantle Plume (Western Pacific Ocean)
Abstract The geochemical variability in oceanic island basalts is linked to Earth's deep mantle heterogeneity, with distinct mantle components whose origin is under debate. In this study, we found basalts from the Caroline Seamount Chain exhibit elevated δ57Fe signatures.

The South-Ural accretion-collision fold belt began to form at the final stage of the island-arc development of the Urals. This process correlates in time with the Famennian and Early Tournasian. During the Carboniferous, the subsequent inversion from the

Geodetic Evidence of Shallow Slow‐Slip Phenomena Beneath the Southern Ryukyu Forearc
Abstract While slow slip events (SSEs) are recognized as a ubiquitous phenomenon in subduction zones, accurately tracking the spatiotemporal distribution of shallow SSEs remains challenging. Here, we investigate the potential occurrence of shallow SSEs in the southern Ryukyu forearc at the western boundary of the Philippine Sea plate using 25 years of ...

Unzipping of the Conjugate Fault System During the 2024 Mw7.4 Hualien Earthquake
Abstract On 2 April 2024, a Mw7.4 earthquake struck Taiwan's eastern coast near Hualien City. The fault responsible for the mainshock remained under debate due to the region's complex plate boundary system and intricate fault interactions. To determine the fault plane and resolve the rupture process, we analyzed local and teleseismic waveform ...

Subduction zones are fundamental features of Earth's mantle convection and plate tectonics, but mantle flow and pressure around slabs are poorly understood because of the lack of direct observational constraints on subsurface flow.

Abstract Wastewater injection in Texas has led to leakage at compromised wells and anomalous seismicity. We use Sentinel‐1 Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) surface deformation maps and a suite of ground measurements to characterize injection‐related hazards. In Crane County, we measure ∼ ${\sim} $53 cm of uplift in a 5 km2 ${\text{km}}^{

Abstract Advanced Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data has led to an extensive observation of Earth's surface displacements. Whereas the combined use of high‐resolution InSAR, leveling and GPS data may enable highly detailed three‐dimensional deformation models, publicly available modeling and inversion algorithms either seek a single ...
