Laboratory and theoretical analyses have shown that the period of imposed forcing and source properties affect the sensitivity to triggering, but frequency-dependent triggering of tectonic faults is poorly understood. The rate of low-frequency earthquakes (LFEs) near Parkfield, California has been found to be strongly correlated with solid earth tides. Tidal forcing acts over multiple frequencies, and the sensitivity to tidal triggering of LFEs therefore provides a unique opportunity to probe the physics of earthquake triggering and underlying fault properties. Here, we find that the response of LFEs to solid earth tides at diurnal and semi-diurnal frequencies is highly variable but spatially coherent along the San Andreas Fault. Using rate-state friction modeling, we find that the variation of the amplitude of tidal modulation is mainly affected by the spatial variation of the background effective stress, whereas the spatially varied tidal modulation at diurnal and semi-diurnal frequencies is mainly affected by the fault frictional property and LFE nucleation time. The spatial variations of the LFE response reveal a heterogeneous lower-crustal geologic structure and complex physical faulting processes below the rupture zone of eventual great earthquakes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11481,"journal":{"name":"Earth and Planetary Science Letters","volume":"666 ","pages":"Article 119480"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144335841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, local environmental phenomena like meteoric and marine diagenetic alteration or changes in carbonate facies often decouple carbonate geochemistry from open-ocean seawater chemistry. To accurately reconstruct global geochemical cycles using shallow-water carbonates, it is therefor crucial to separate signals of local environmental phenomena from genuine changes in open-ocean seawater chemistry. The well-documented shallow-water carbonate succession from Ocean Drilling Program Site 866A (Resolution Guyot, Mid-Pacific Mountains) offers an opportunity to disentangle global and local signals recorded in shallow-water carbonates during the Early Cretaceous oceanic anoxic event 1a (OAE1a), a brief, globally correlative perturbation to the carbon cycle. Recent studies at this site have documented a δ<sup>13</sup>C excursion, a modest decline in <sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr, and large stratigraphic variability in δ<sup>7</sup>Li and δ<sup>44</sup>Ca values, all of which have been interpreted as reflecting temporal changes in the chemical composition of open-ocean seawater associated with OAE1a. However, other work at this site demonstrates clear evidence of meteoric and marine diagenesis as well as changes in carbonate facies across the OAE1a interval. Here, we aim to disentagle signals that reflect global geochemical cycling from those that reflect local environmental phenomena by employing a suite of carbonate-bound geochemical proxies (δ<sup>7</sup>Li, δ<sup>13</sup>C, δ<sup>18</sup>O<sub>carb</sub>, δ<sup>26</sup>Mg, δ<sup>44</sup>Ca, Δ<sub>47</sub>, [Mg], [Ca], [Sr], [Li]) and a numerical model of carbonate diagenesis.

With much of the chemostratigraphic variability preserved today conceivably owing its origin to carbonate diagenesis and in recognition of the residence times for these elements in seawater (&gt;1 million years) being longer than the short-lived OAE1a event, we make a case that our model-derived “snapshot” estimate for the calcium, magnesium, and lithium isotope composition of the marine diagenetic fluid reflects a stable open-ocean Early Cretaceous seawater signature. Although a global δ<sup>13</sup>C signal may still be present, our findings show how the stratigraphic record of δ<sup>13</sup>C values across the OAE1a at this site is a complex function of marine and meteoric diagenesis and changes in carbonate facies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11481,"journal":{"name":"Earth and Planetary Science Letters","volume":"666 ","pages":"Article 119513"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144321808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Relationships between the maximum <sup>3</sup>He/<sup>4</sup>He and high hotspot buoyancy flux, and between maximum <sup>3</sup>He/<sup>4</sup>He and low seismic shear-wave velocity anomalies, suggest that high <sup>3</sup>He/<sup>4</sup>He is entrained only by the hottest and most buoyant mantle plumes. A prediction of this model is that the high <sup>3</sup>He/<sup>4</sup>He component is sampled by high-degree melting. We use a new geochemical database of ocean island lavas to demonstrate that high <sup>3</sup>He/<sup>4</sup>He is found only in tholeiitic (low alkali index) and mildly alkalic (intermediate alkali index) lavas, which result from high and moderate degrees of melting, respectively.

Here, we use high-density seismic sensors by employing distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) with fiber-optic cables to estimate seismic surface wave phase velocity variations. This allows us to constrain annual water dynamics in both unsaturated and saturated zones. We incorporate rock physics modeling to analyze shear wave velocity variations, to identify key physical parameters - such as saturation, pressure, and fractures - that best describe the water movement in response to rainfall. Our findings reveal that changes of pore pressure and saturation in the unsaturated zone resulting from precipitation influence high-frequency velocity changes. In the saturated zone, dynamic pore pressure induced by groundwater levels and crack opening or closure are primarily drivers for low-frequency velocity changes. Additionally, we observe the hysteresis in velocity variations between drying and wetting cycles over different time periods, implying fluid redistribution in pores and crack opening or closure responding to drying and wetting processes.

Here, we investigate Mo cycling in Mn-rich pelagic sediments in an 847 cm long sediment core from the deep Pacific Ocean. We observe a systematic downcore decrease in Mo content (28.0 to 6.10 μg/g) together with increasing Mo isotope ratios (δ<sup>98</sup>Mo: −0.52 ‰ to +1.32 ‰). Synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy shows that the average oxidation state of Mn decreases with depth, which is consistent with the transformation of Mn minerals during sediment burial. In contrast to the canonical δ<sup>98</sup>Mo (−0.7 ‰) of Fe-Mn nodules and crusts, the depth-integrated δ<sup>98</sup>Mo value of the Mn-rich sediments is unusually high, likely due to recycling of isotopically light Mo. If our findings are representative for larger areas of the deep ocean, they could potentially challenge the conventional global Mo budget. A revised isotopically heavier oxic Mo sink in the global ocean’s Mo budget would imply a more extensive expansion of oceanic anoxia and/or reduction of the oxic sink during geological periods when seawater had lower δ<sup>98</sup>Mo values.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11481,"journal":{"name":"Earth and Planetary Science Letters","volume":"666 ","pages":"Article 119497"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144306233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
