We present new absolute paleointensities obtained from the Plio-Pleistocene volcanic sequence of Korkhi (Djavakheti Highland, Georgia) (41°27′31″N, 43°27′55″E). Korkhi is divided into two lava flow subsequences dated at 3.11 ± 0.20 Ma and 1.85 ± 0.08 Ma. Paleomagnetic directions previously published (Sánchez-Moreno et al., 2018, https://doi.org/10.1029/2017GC007358) show a normal polarity in the lower Korkhi subsequence and a reverse-to-intermediate polarity in the upper Korkhi subsequence. The new paleointensity determinations are obtained through two different Thellier-type protocols (Thellier-Thellier and IZZI) and the corrected multispecimen method. We utilize different selection criteria and interpretation approaches (TTB, CCRIT, BiCEP and multimethod), and we make a critical evaluation on their application on complex magnetic behaviors, such as often found in volcanic rocks. Finally, we obtained a paleointensity of 70 μT in upper Korkhi and 14 paleointensities in lower Korkhi that vary between 5.2 and 37.2 μT. These results agree with a recently proposed non-Geocentric Axial Dipole (GAD) hypothesis for the last ∼1.5 Ma (Cych et al., 2023, https://doi.org/10.1029/2023JB026492), and with low field strength for the 3–4 Ma.</p>","PeriodicalId":50422,"journal":{"name":"Geochemistry Geophysics Geosystems","volume":"26 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2023GC011382","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143786975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies of year-to-year changes along the faster-spreading ridges have provided important information regarding the size and frequency of eruptions. However, ultraslow-spreading ridges produce less frequent eruptions, limiting the possibility to study short-term changes in the seafloor morphology to understand longer-term volcanic processes. Therefore, a different approach is needed to estimate the size and frequency of volcanic eruptions at the slowest spreading ridges. Here, we use meter-scale bathymetric maps and backscatter data together with visual observations and geochronology of both basalts and sediments to study the construction of three axial volcanic ridges (AVRs) along the northern half of the ultraslow-spreading Mohns Ridge. Our study finds that most eruptions produce low-effusion rate pillow lavas (82% of the volcanic terrain). We define “lava flow units” as mappable building-blocks of the ARVs, each with a coherent morphology, which may be emplaced during multiple eruptions, but we envision over a relatively short time span (years to decades). These units vary in size from individual hummocks to larger edifices (0.42 × 10⁶ to 38 × 10⁶ m³). Moreover, we estimate the eruptive frequencies per AVR to be on a hundred-year scale.

As an emerging isotopic tool, methane clumped isotope can provide novel information about the generation and post-generation processes of methane gases. Using six deep natural gas samples from the Songliao Basin, we explored the potential of clumped isotopes in identifying abiotic methane. The results indicate that the Δ¹³CH₃D values of all samples are consistent with the thermodynamic equilibrium values at the inferred formation temperatures, whereas the Δ¹²CH₂D₂ values show small but detectable deficits (1∼6‰) relative to equilibrium. This particular non-equilibrium clumped isotopic signature of natural gas from the Songliao Basin is similar to the clumped isotopic signature of abiotic methane predicted by an isotopologue-specific kinetic model, suggesting a possible contribution of abiotic methane in the studied natural gases. However, we found that the mixing of abiotic and thermogenic gases could not fully explain the isotope data of all the samples. The proportion of abiotic gas calculated based on clumped isotopes would be underestimated because methane isotopic bond re-ordering at the late burial temperatures partially erases the disequilibrium signatures inherited from the original mixtures. The carbon isotopic reversals in C₁–C₃ of the samples provide additional constraint for evaluating the contribution of abiotic gas. Therefore, the coupling of intra-molecular clumped isotope and inter–molecular carbon isotope signatures may be a more robust approach for identifying abiotic methane, which can help us to quantitatively evaluate abiotic methane in petroleum systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":50422,"journal":{"name":"Geochemistry Geophysics Geosystems","volume":"26 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024GC011705","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143778426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the comparability between single-specimen and conventional multi-specimen Mg/Ca data remains unclear, which has raised questions concerning the suitability of multi-specimen Mg/Ca-temperature calibrations for single-specimen data. This study developed and evaluated the effects of four single-specimen cleaning procedures on the Mg/Ca ratio of <i>Trilobatus sacculifer</i>. These procedures varied in their inclusion or exclusion of the reductive step and heating for chemical reactions. The most effective single-specimen cleaning procedure (procedure D_single) incorporated the oxidative step while excluding the reductive step and heating. This procedure was subsequently applied to five additional planktic foraminifera species. With procedure D_single, we obtained statistically indistinguishable mean Mg/Ca values for single-specimen and multi-specimen samples of <i>T. sacculifer, Orbulina universa</i>, and <i>Pulleniatina obliquiloculata</i>, regardless of the intensity of the multi-specimen cleaning procedures. For single-specimen samples of <i>Globigerinoides ruber</i> and <i>Neogloboquadrina dutertrei</i>, the mean Mg/Ca values only matched those of the multi-specimen samples when procedures excluded the reductive step and heating. In contrast, single-specimen mean Mg/Ca values of <i>Globorotalia menardii</i> were consistently higher than those obtained through multi-specimen cleaning. The mean Mg/Ca differences between single-specimen and multi-specimen cleaning procedures across species are likely attributable to differences in the microstructure of the calcite tests. In summary, when cleaning procedures involving identical steps and heating conditions were utilized, both single-specimen and multi-specimen analyses yielded comparable mean Mg/Ca values, suggesting that the multi-specimen Mg/Ca calibrations are applicable to single-specimen data.</p>","PeriodicalId":50422,"journal":{"name":"Geochemistry Geophysics Geosystems","volume":"26 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024GC011975","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143778427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since marine geohazards are poorly understood in Arctic Fjords due to lack of data and monitoring, a comprehensive study of Southwind Fjord, Baffin Island, was undertaken to assess the modern processes leading to marine geohazards and their products on the seabed. Repeat measurements of bathymetric changes and flow measurements from moorings revealed that turbidity currents with measured speeds up to 1.75 ms⁻¹ lead to the migration of cyclic steps in the submarine channel of the prodelta. Fast and dense heads of turbidity currents transport sand kilometers away from the channel-mouth during larger events and remain confined in the prodelta channel and on the fjord basin floor. Clayey silts are deposited on the sidewalls of the fjord as a result of both overflowing turbidity currents and settling of meltwater plumes. Since sand is confined to the fjord bottom, there is no regional weak layer on the sidewall that is responsible for the large number of submarine landslides observed on the slopes. Low factor of safety of sidewall sediment (1.7 at 2.5 m depth) indicates that limited environmental loading of the sediment can trigger shallow (≤3 m) failures. This is confirmed by repeat bathymetric and core data showing asynchronous failures caused by icebergs and subaerial debris flows.

It is part of Walvis Ridge (WR), a quasi-linear seamount chain extending from offshore Namibia to Tristan da Cunha and Gough Islands. To understand Valdivia Bank evolution, we interpret the seismic stratigraphy from multichannel seismic data paired with coring results from International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 391, which recovered mostly pelagic nannofossil ooze and chalks. The seismic section can be divided into three seismic units (SU), a lower transparent interval which is faulted and conforms to basement, a middle, moderate to high amplitude interval which is thick in local depocenters such as rifts, and an upper, subparallel transparent interval. Notable features include regional unconformities, dipping clinoforms, mass transport and contourite deposits, and volcanic structures. Additionally, three infilled rifts are observed across the plateau. Our analysis implies that following a period of sedimentation in the Campanian, the edifice was faulted through the Paleocene, coinciding with a South Atlantic tectonic reorganization. Local depocenters formed as a result of rifting. Subsequently, the plateau experienced thermal rejuvenation and regional uplift during the Eocene. Volcanic mounds were emplaced atop Cretaceous sediments and intrusives were emplaced within the sediments. During the Cenozoic, sedimentation was punctuated, likely in response to changes in the carbonate compensation depth and bottom current intensification.

Lavas from Triassic key localities were examined from the broader northern Peloponnese, which include basaltic andesites, andesites and rhyodacites, and are classified as medium-K calc-alkaline volcanics. Partial melting of ∼10%–12% of a fertile peridotitic mantle source contributed to primitive magma formation. Whole-rock geochemical data and Sr-Nd isotopic compositions point to upper crustal assimilation processes (AFC) for the formation of the andesites and rhyodacites, with variable fractionation degrees (∼20%–50%), coupled by mixing with ∼2%–4% of an upper crustal component. To elucidate the co-existence of forearc volcanics with the Triassic rift-related E-MORB and OIB basalts, we propose two scenarios for the geotectonic setting of the associated magmatic suites. Scenario-1 considers intra-oceanic induced subduction initiation with southwestern dipping of the oceanic slab beneath the Pelagonian margin, whereas scenario-2 considers fast-spreading rift oceanic accretion, leading to northeastern subduction of the oceanic lithosphere towards the Pelagonian microcontinent. We envisage the potential for the two proposed scenarios to have acted in conjunction with slab break-off, facilitating the subduction polarity-reversal process.
