Abstract This study integrates new zircon U–Pb ages, zircon εHf(t)–δ18O isotopic data, and whole‐rock geochemistry to refine the temporal and spatial framework of magmatism in the southern Northern Andes (SNA) from ∼65 to 6 Ma. The San Lucas, Catamayo, Portachuela, and Gonzanamá batholiths and magmatic suites, along with Late Miocene plutons, display ...

Abstract We present array‐scale (∼500 × 500 km) anisotropic shear‐velocity models from two Pacific ocean‐bottom seismometer (OBS) arrays of the OBS Research in the Convecting Asthenosphere (ORCA) experiment: Young ORCA (∼43 Ma) and Old ORCA (∼90 Ma). Rayleigh‐wave phase velocities spanning 5–150 s are combined with Love‐wave phase velocities from 5 to ...

Abstract Caldera systems commonly experience inner resurgence, which shapes patterns of volcanic activity. However, incomplete reconstructions of past ground deformation can lead to incorrect recognition of precursory signals. The Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy) provides an exceptional opportunity to address this issue as uplifted marine sediments ...

Abstract Wrinkle ridges are widespread compressional tectonic features on Mars and are important records of the planet's global contractional history. However, their formation, evolution and subsequent modification by other geologic processes remain poorly constrained.

The Role of Magmatic Styles in Planetary Thermal Evolution Models
Abstract Previous studies that investigated the effects of magmatism on the interior dynamics, in particular for Earth‐sized planets, suggest that magmatism leads to more efficient mantle cooling. However, the extent to which different magmatic styles influence the thermal evolution of planets, and in particular smaller rocky bodies, has not yet been ...

Abstract The Rio Grande Rise (RGR) is a major submarine feature in the South Atlantic that plays an important role in regional oceanographic dynamics. This study presents new U‐Pb geochronology of sedimentary rocks from the RGR, offering direct age constraints on carbonate and apatite embedded within Fe‐Mn crusts and associated foraminifera fossils ...

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 ...

Inversion by Intrusion: Magma‐Driven Shortening in the Turkana Rift (East Africa)
Abstract Late Pliocene to Pleistocene inversion in the Turkana Rift, observed on seismic reflection data and in outcrop, presents a tectonic paradox by indicating local shortening in an overall extensional setting. Previous studies attributed this inversion either to the reactivation of obliquely oriented structural weaknesses or to reorientation of ...
