The Aurora Vent Field at the Transition From Magmatic Accretion to Tectonic Extension on Gakkel Ridge: Constraints From Microseismicity and Aeromagnetic Observations

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The Aurora hydrothermal vent field (AVF) is the first confirmed active vent system on the Arctic Ocean seafloor, located at the western end of the ultraslow spreading Gakkel Ridge. It marks a distinctive endmember among ridge‐axis hydrothermal systems, where volcanic construction and ultramafic influence co‐exist.

Model‐Predicted Shear‐Wave‐Splitting Parameters in NE Japan: Comparison With Observations

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract We model olivine crystal preferred orientation (CPO) and shear wave splitting (SWS) in the mantle wedge, using the results of a 3‐D numerical thermomechanical model for the NE Japan subduction zone. The model predicts a quasi‐2‐D trench‐normal (E‐W) mantle wedge flow pattern beneath Tohoku, given the trench‐normal subduction, but a more ...

Full‐Waveform Seismic Tomography of the Upper Mantle Beneath the Arabia‐Eurasia Collision Zone

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Despite being one of the most recent major orogenic events, the timing of the Arabia‐Eurasia collision is still debated. Much of the discrepancy arises due to uncertainties over the amount of continental subduction of the Arabian passive margin and the timing of a hard collision of cratonic Arabian lithosphere with Eurasia.

Fault‐Related Carbonates as Quaternary Seismotectonic and Paleoclimate Archives (Monte Marine Fault, Central Apennines)

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Seismogenic faults shape continental landscapes, drive crustal deformation and influence fluid exchange between the lithosphere and atmosphere. Yet, quantitative links between fault activity, exhumation and near‐surface environmental evolution remain poorly understood. Here, structural (meso‐ and micro‐scale) investigations are integrated with

Flip‐Flop Detachments Require Moderate Strength Contrasts Between Fault Zone and Fault Blocks

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Large‐offset detachment faults frequently occur at slow‐ and ultraslow‐spreading mid‐ocean ridges, especially where magma supply is limited. Observations show that detachments at ultraslow ridges often alternate in polarity (“flip‐flop” regime), but the mechanical controls governing their formation remain poorly understood.
