Metamorphic Dehydration, Fluid Pressure, and the Frictional‐Viscous Transition Along Subduction Megathrusts: Case Study in Cascadia and Implications for Slow Earthquakes

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Relative plate motion in subduction zones transitions from frictional slip to viscous flow with increasing depth and temperature. The frictional‐viscous transition can control the depth extent of megathrust earthquakes and episodic tremor and slip (ETS).

Mineralogical appraisal and beneficiation tests on some industrial minerals from Zambia [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
In March 1990, a visit to Zambia was made by D A Briggs of the Mineralogy and Petrology Group on behalf of the British Geological Survey/Overseas Development Administration project "Minerals for Development". The visit, which was described in Technical

Intrusive Magmatism, Plate Stresses, and the Cause of Orthogonal Versus Oblique Spreading Mid‐Ocean Ridges

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The origin of orthogonally spreading ridge segments separated by oceanic transform faults, versus obliquely spreading ridge segments without transform faults (TFs), is a long‐standing enigma of plate tectonics. We address this problem using three‐dimensional (3D) geodynamic models that simulate axial magmatic intrusions along two ridge ...

The Seismic Signature of the Atlantis Massif Oceanic Detachment Fault Determined From Crystallographic Preferred Orientation and Microstructure

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract At slow‐spreading mid‐ocean ridges large scale detachment faults partly accommodate the spreading process. The mafic and ultramafic rocks at the ridges are infiltrated by water and change their mineralogy. Subsequently or contemporaneously to these reactions, detachment faulting takes place.

Effect of epoxy macromolecules as interfacial mediators on the microstructure and physical properties of styrene butadiene rubber/talcum powder composites

open access: yesResources Chemicals and Materials
Poly(isoprene-co-glycidyl methacrylate) epoxy macromolecules were synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization to act as interfacial mediators between talcum powder (Talc) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) with ...

Mineral reconnaissance at the Highland boundary with special reference to the Loch Lomond and Aberfoyle areas [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
Serpentinite bodies at the Highland Boundary in the Loch Lomond and Aberfoyle areas are extensively altered to magnesite-quartz and ferroan-dolomite-quartz rocks. Silicification was probably initiated before conversion to carbonate.

OBS Data Mining Reveals Seismic Structure and Dynamics of the Oceanic Blanco Transform Fault, Northeast Pacific

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Deformation along oceanic transform faults is partitioned between seismic and aseismic slip, controlled by lithology, thermal structure, and fluid circulation. We analyze one year of data from a 54‐station ocean bottom seismometer network deployed across the Blanco Transform Fault (BTF), Northeast Pacific.

Transformation of Refractory Oceanic Lithospheric Mantle by Reactive Melt Infiltration: An Experimental Study on the Roles of Temperature, Melt Volume and Ascent Velocity

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Reactive melt infiltration critically modifies the physical and chemical properties of the oceanic lithospheric mantle (OLM). This process, involving melt‐rock reactions and in situ crystallization, exhibits substantial spatial and temporal variability driven by melt volume and ascent velocity.

Platinum-group element mineralisation in the Unst ophiolite, Shetland [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
The ophiolitic basic and ultrabasic rocks of the island of Unst, Shetland comprise a sequence of harzburgites, dunites, clinopyroxene-rich cumulates, and gabbro, within tectonic blocks that have been thrust over a migmatite complex during the Laxer ...
