Uplift of the Transantarctic Mountains: Evidence for an Evolving and Long‐Lived Rayleigh‐Taylor Instability

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Rayleigh‐Taylor instabilities within the upper mantle are investigated as a mechanism for the uplift of rift‐margin mountain ranges within the continents. Our focus is on the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM). These mountains form at the margin between East and West Antarctica and have been free from the effects of subduction for about 500 ...

Active Tectonics of the Eastern and Southern Alps ‐ Crustal Response to Deep Processes? A Review

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Owing to the low N‐S convergence rates between Adria and Europe, crustal deformation rates in the Alps and its forelands are low. Active tectonics are, therefore, difficult to study, especially as non‐tectonic landscape forming processes can erase or modify the tectonic surface imprint. Large‐scale and dense seismological data recently offered

Event Deposits Recorded Over the Past 800 kyr in IODP Hole U1433A (South China Sea): Implications of a Revised Methodology for Chronology and Paleoclimate Reconstruction

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Instantaneous event deposits such as turbidites, debrites, and slumps are common and frequently occur in marginal seas. These instantaneous deposits represent seconds to days in duration, and can therefore significantly impact age‐depth models and interpretation of paleoclimate history based on thick sedimentary sequences recovered in deep ...

Structurally‐Controlled Permeability Evolution and Mineralization in Geothermal Caprocks: The Fenice Capanne Mining District (Southern Tuscany, Italy)

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Neogene mineralized region of the Colline Metallifere in southern Tuscany (Italy) provides a natural laboratory to investigate feedback between fluid–rock interaction, structurally controlled fluid flow, and hydrothermal ore mineralization.

Early–Late Carboniferous Tectonic Evolution of the Northern North China Craton (NE China): Constraints From Zircon Ages, Geochemistry, and Crustal Thickness Modeling

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The tectonic evolution of the northern margin of the North China Craton (NCC) remains controversial. In this study, we obtained zircon U–Pb ages, geochemical data, and Sr–Nd isotopic data for volcanic rocks, and detrital zircon ages for sedimentary rocks from the Yufutun, Tongqigou, and Benxi formations in central‐southern Jilin Province, NE ...

Evolution of Tectonically Accreted Topmost Oceanic Lithospheric Mantle Based on Seismic Tomography Constraints at the Ultraslow‐Spreading Southwest Indian Ridge

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Oceanic lithosphere formed at the global mid‐ocean ridge system makes up >60% of Earth's solid surface. Its uppermost ∼6 km are accreted either magmatically, where mafic melt is available, or tectonically, where this melt is absent. The magmatically accreted lithosphere is known to evolve with age, as demonstrated by its velocity increase ...

Crustal Thickness Inversion From Magmatic Geochemistry Reveals Spatiotemporal Evolution and Two‐Stage Uplift of the Iranian Plateau

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Cenozoic topographic growth of the Iranian Plateau, situated at the Arabia‐Eurasia collision front, provides insights into continental collision dynamics. However, the relative contributions of tectonic shortening versus deep mantle processes to crustal thickening remain debated because systematic quantitative constraints on paleo‐crustal ...

Highly Enriched and Heterogeneous Mantle Signals Recorded in Mantle Pyroxenite Veins

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Earth's mantle is inherently heterogeneous, reflecting ongoing mantle depletion and crustal recycling driven by plate tectonics. Radiogenic isotopes in oceanic basalts are commonly used to characterize mantle reservoirs, but the full chemical diversity of mantle‐derived melts may be obscured by magma mixing during melt transport and ...
