Influence of Inherited Rifted Margin Architecture on Continental Collision Dynamics

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Continental collision is a key process in lithospheric evolution, driving mountain building, crustal thickening, and supercontinent assembly. Within the Wilson cycle, collision marks the final stage following rifting, ocean spreading, and subduction.

Key New Evidence for the Hainan Mantle Plume Head: Ongoing Formation of a Large Igneous Province?

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The process‐based surface magmatic expression of mantle plumes is typically a large igneous province (LIP) induced by the mantle plume head, followed by subsequent age‐progressive volcanic tracks resulting from plate drifting above the plume tail.

Seismicity, Repeating Earthquakes, and Tomographic Imaging of the Blanco Transform Fault System, Northeast Pacific

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The Blanco transform fault system (BTFS) represents an evolving transform plate boundary in the Northeast Pacific Ocean. Its seismic behavior was captured with a dense network of 54 ocean‐bottom seismometers (OBS) operated for 1 year. We created a high‐resolution earthquake catalog based on different machine‐learning onset pickers.

The Dynamics and Surface Signal of Slab Break‐Off in Continental Settings: Insights From 3D Numerical Modeling

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The fate of an oceanic plate that has been subducted over an extended period of time involves slab break‐off, which can occur either simultaneously across the entire slab or locally, creating a tear that propagates sub‐horizontally. These processes are thought to explain various geological observations, such as the evolution of foreland basins,

Fault Volume Digital Twin to Reproduce the Full Slip Spectrum, Scaling, and Statistical Laws

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Seismological and geodetic observations of fault zones reveal diverse slip dynamics, scaling, and statistical laws. Existing mechanisms explain some but not all of these behaviors. We show that incorporating an off‐fault damage zone—characterized by distributed fractures surrounding a main fault—can reproduce many key features observed in ...

Seismic Stratigraphy and Tectonic Evolution of the Forearc Georgia Basin (Upper Cretaceous–Miocene), Canada and USA, With Implications for CO2 Sequestration

open access: yesBasin Research, Volume 38, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
2D seismic and well data reveal multi‐phase basin filling in the Whatcom Sub‐Basin shaped by syn‐depositional tectonism. An Eocene transition from forearc basin to forearc depression corresponds to decreasing normal‐fault density and throw, both upsection and eastward. Paleogene–Neogene strata are the best CO2 storage targets.
