Slab Gap‐Related Intraplate Magmatism as a Proxy of Maximum Flat Slab Extent in Patagonia

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Establishing the frontal extent of ancient flat subduction events from the geologic record can be challenging. This difficulty arises because magmatic activity in the arc typically ceases during complete slab flattening, and other meaningful proxies are usually absent. To address this issue, we examine early Paleocene intraplate magmatic units

Nature of the Crust in the Superdeep Bengal Basin Using Teleseismic P Waves

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The Bengal Basin is a sedimentary basin in the northeast region of the Indian subcontinent. It lies between the Indian Shield and the Indo‐Burma Ranges, where the India plate is obliquely subducting under the Burma microplate. Multiple interpretations of the nature of the crust here have been proposed.

Late Carboniferous Geomagnetic Field Events Recorded in Post‐Collisional Altenberg–Teplice Caldera, Variscan Belt

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Characteristic remanent magnetizations isolated from the late Variscan Altenberg–Teplice Caldera exhibit paleomagnetic directions, ranging from those consistent with the expected primary Late Carboniferous geomagnetic field to intermediate directions that significantly diverge from the dipole states.

A Random Walker Algorithm for Plate Boundary Detection in Spherical Mantle Convection Models and Global Geophysical Data Sets: Application to Euler Vector Determination

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract As spherical shell mantle convection models become increasingly commonplace, understanding how plates are generated has raised the issue of how to recognize whether rigid plates are present in model output. Tectonocists have long recognized that intraplate regions are not rigid without exception.

Fault Kinematics of the 2019–2026 Puerto Rico Earthquake Sequence: Conjugate Faulting Within a Zone of Oblique Subduction

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The 2019–2026 southwestern Puerto Rico earthquake sequence has the characteristics of an earthquake swarm with over 9,000 events of Mw 2.5 or greater over an area of 1,500 km2, and the largest event is an Mw 6.4 on 7 January 2020. Previous studies have proposed two structural interpretations: (a) an E‐striking, N‐dipping normal fault hosting ...
