Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

An Overview of Tsunami Hazards in the Southwest Pacific Ocean

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
The southwest Pacific region is geologically complex and exhibits all the principal causes of tsunami generation. While contemporary events and historical catalogs indicate that trans‐Pacific tsunamis have affected this area (∼18% of tsunamis reported globally), it is unique in that a large part of the tsunami effects over the ∼200‐year historical ...

Mantle Flow and Anisotropy in Subduction Zones: Modeling and Clustering of Olivine Textures

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The mantle near Earth's subduction zones endures intense deformation that generates anisotropic rock textures. These textures can be observed seismically and modeled geodynamically, but the complexity of this deformation makes analyses of these textures ...

Evolution of Pore Fluid Pressure in an Accretionary Outer Wedge Over Megathrust Earthquake Cycles: The Northern Cascadia Example

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
The evolution of pore fluid pressure ( Pf$P_{\mathrm{f}}$) in the most seaward portion of a subduction accretionary prism plays an essential role in the cycle of tsunamigenic earthquakes. Based on recent geophysical observations, here we propose a testable conceptual model for this evolution for northern Cascadia offshore of Washington.

Vertical and Spatial Geochemical Variations of Nishinoshima Volcaniclastic Deposits, Japan, During Episode 4

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Nishinoshima is a volcanic island in the Ogasawara Arc that has exhibited intermittent activity since 2013, including four major eruptive episodes: 2013–2015 (Episode 1), 2017 (Episode 2), 2018 (Episode 3), and 2019–2020 (Episode 4). Previous studies reported a change in eruption style—from a Strombolian eruption with lava flows (Episode 1 to the early

The Occurrence and Morphology of Naturally Occurring Respirable Mordenite Mineral Fibres in New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Mordenite is a naturally occurring zeolite mineral that is the seventh most common zeolite mineral globally, forming at low temperatures (≥100°C) in hydrothermal systems. In New Zealand, extensive deposits of mordenite are commonly associated with areas of hydrothermal alteration, particularly in the Coromandel and Taupo Volcanic Zones.

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Mesoscale and Submesoscale Variability in the Indian Ocean

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Material transport and air‐sea coupling dynamics associated with monsoon‐related mesoscale and submesoscale processes in the Indian Ocean significantly modulate biogeochemical cycles, the large‐scale energy balance, and both regional and global climate change.

Thermal buoyancy on Venus: Preliminary results of finite element modeling [PDF]

Enhanced surface temperatures and a thinner lithosphere on Venus relative to Earth have been cited as leading to increased lithospheric buoyancy. This would limit or prevent subduction on Venus and favor the construction of thickened crust through ...
