Cooling‐Induced Rheological Weakening Along the Nascent Plate Interface—A Mechanism for Catastrophic Subduction Initiation?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Subduction initiation often begins with slow, forced convergence, switches “on” catastrophically as the slab collapses into the mantle, and then evolves to steady‐state, self‐sustained sinking that drives global plate movements. Numerical models suggest that the collapse phase implies sudden weakening of the plate interface.

Deep Sources of Recent Volcanism in Armenia Inferred From Ambient Noise Tomography

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract We perform Rayleigh wave ambient noise tomography to investigate crustal seismic velocity structure and sources of volcanism in Armenia. Armenia, a key part of the tectonically and volcanically active Caucasus‐Anatolia region, is actively being deformed by the ongoing Arabian‐Eurasian continental collision.

East Meets West: The Trace of the Mesoproterozoic Kibaran Event in the Mantle Lithosphere Beneath Eastern Tanzania

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract We present elemental geochemistry and multiple isotopic systematics (Re‐Os, Lu‐Hf, Sm‐Nd and Sr) for mantle peridotite xenoliths from Lashaine in northern Tanzania. We use the data to examine how the major Proterozoic tectono‐thermal events that affected the crust of the western Tanzanian craton are imprinted on the lithospheric mantle in the ...

Intraplate Volcanism Driven by Slab‐Plume Interaction: Numerical Modeling and Its Application to the Eifel, Massif Central and Hainan Volcanic Areas

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Intraplate volcanism has long been linked to deep mantle plumes. However, recent studies showed that intraplate magmatism can originate from transition zone dynamics, where lower‐mantle plumes might be ponding, creating a Thermal Boundary Layer (TBL).
