#ecsmonday Can #seafloor uplift tell us how fast a #mid-ocean ridge #magma chamber refills? H. Boulze & J.-A. Olive (FR) say yes - but only if you account for a squishy #mush zone underneath. New models tested at the #EPR: doi.org/10.1029/2026JB033938 #paperalert #tectonics #volcanoes

#ecsmonday How does #mantle rock sneak into a shallow #accretionary complex? Shimura et al. (JP) say: #diapirs + #outer-rise faults. Check the working model for the Nakaguro Serpentinite, Shimanto AC: doi.org/10.1029/2025TC009237 #tectonics #serpentinite #subduction

#ecsmonday Uunk et al. (NL) combine a new geological map of Syros 🇬🇷 with compiled P-T-t data to resolve a long-running debate: how were these #blueschist & #eclogite nappes exhumed? Sequential #wedgeextrusion + Miocene #corecomplex, and it's now a Cyclades-wide story. doi.org/10.1029/2025TC009332
#ecsmonday Are arc terranes always exotic? Gomes et al. (AU) challenge the oceanic-vs-continental arc #dichotomy using #zircon & #apatite from the Calliope Province, Australia - a window into how #subduction zones evolve without #arccontinentcollision: doi.org/10.1029/2025TC009022 #paperalert

#ecsmonday Mercuri et al. (IT) used 3D seismic data to unravel the tectono-stratigraphic history of the Gaggiano High, a buried #rift structure below the Po Plain. How well did it resist Alpine-Apennine #inversion? What does #riftinheritance look like? doi.org/10.1029/2026TC009430 #paperalert

Check the new post of today! 🔥 What if a Quaternary seismogenic normal fault would influence the precipitation of travertine deposits in Central Italy and a random monk would pass by randomly and eventually set up the future birthplace of monasticism in the Occident? blogs.egu.eu/divisions/ts...
Geomythology. Neotectonics and MonasticismWith today’s post, I would like to temporarily leave (geo)myths behind and enter (geo)history. I was first introduced to the following historical account by Professor Francesco Brozzetti of the Univer...blogs.egu.eu#ecsmonday Kimura and Yoshioka (JP) inverted 28 years of F-net #CMT data to map the #stress regime inside the deep Pacific #slab beneath SW #Japan.

#ecsmonday Homogeneous vs heterogeneous fault veins, which produces more damage? Kong et al. (UK) compare both end members and find that heterogeneous veins trigger broader fracture networks, splay faults, and distributed seismicity. doi.org/10.1029/2026JB034195 #paperalert #structuralgeology
#ecsmonday How fast did #Rodinia move? Zhang et al. (US) combine zircon, garnet, titanite, rutile and apatite #UPb geochronology to show prolonged Grenvillian #metamorphism and slow cooling in the Adirondacks. doi.org/10.1029/2025TC009333 #paperalert #paleogeography
