Our high-resolution Pn and Sn velocity models reveal strong lateral heterogeneities in the uppermost mantle under the study region. The average Pn and Sn velocities in the uppermost mantle are 8.2 and 4.5 km/s, respectively. Both Pn and Sn velocity models exhibit obvious low-velocity (low-V) anomalies under the Wudalianchi and Keluo volcanoes, whereas under the Songliao basin distinct high-velocity (high-V) zones are revealed. In particular, our Pn model reveals two separate low-V anomalies under the Nuominhe and Halaha volcanic groups, suggesting that they have different deep origins. A large-scale L-shaped low-V zone exists under the Keluo, Wudalianchi, Erkeshan, and Xunke volcanoes, characterized by Pn-wave fast propagation directions (FPDs) parallel with the low-V zone, suggesting that these volcanoes may have the same deep origin. Furthermore, southeast-opened U-shaped Pn FPDs exist around the Wudalianchi volcano, whereas NE-SW FPDs appear under the Great Xing'an range, which are generally consistent with SKS splitting measurements. This feature may reflect lithosphere-asthenosphere coupling beneath the Wudalianchi volcano associated with horizontal flows in the big mantle wedge and compressional tectonics under the Great Xing'an range. These results shed new lights on the Wudalianchi volcanism and mantle dynamics beneath Northeast China.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54614,"journal":{"name":"Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors","volume":"356 ","pages":"Article 107260"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142310256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the tidal loading amplitudes are too small to generate a brittle deformation, the incremental pressure exerted by the tidal loading can modulate the flow of hydrothermal fluid circulation and trigger the critically stressed faults or fracture zones. We present a compelling case of tidal modulation in seismicity along the Blanco Ridge Transform Fault Zone (BRTFZ), in the northeast Pacific. The strong diurnal and fortnightly periodicity has been observed in the deeper seismic swarm (7–15 km), whereas the shallow seismic swarm (0–7 km) does not exhibit any such tidal periodicity. The dominance of diurnal and fortnightly periodicity in the deeper seismic swarm is explained by the high amplitude tidal cycles providing additional stress on the fluid circulation at the crust-mantle boundary.

By collecting magnetotelluric (MT) data across the XFOB, we obtained the resistivity structure of the lithosphere, which sheds light on the Mesozoic intracontinental orogenic processes in the XFOB. The resistivity structure reveals a low-resistivity body (&lt;10 Ω∙m), beneath the XFOB, dipping southeast wards from a depth of 10 km to the bottom of the crust. This conductor is interpreted as a relic of the lower detachment zone, which coincides with low-density areas obtained from joint inversion of seismic models. It is believed to result from mineral fluids migrating along the thrust fault and squeezing sulfides into folds. Four low-resistivity bodies were identified at three extensional locations along the Jiangshan-Shaoxing Fault and at the Cili-Baojing Fault. The low-resistivity body (&lt;10 Ω∙m) at the junction of the Shaoyang and the Hengyang Basin is located at the point where the Moho depth thins. The variation trend of the terrestrial heat flow values, with this low-resistivity body as the plate boundary, is consistent with the average variation of the terrestrial heat flow values within the block. We propose that the low-resistivity body under the Qidong-Yongzhou-Guilin fault conforms to the characteristics of the suture zone in the resistivity structure. Its existence indicates that the missing location of the Jiangshan-Shaoxing suture zone of the Yangtze and Cathaysia Block in the middle-southwest section of the South China Block is the Qidong-Yongzhou-Guilin fault. The Yangtze Block and the Hengyang Basin show high resistivity, the depth of which reaches 100 km and 40 km, respectively. Based on the resistivity model and geological data, the XFOB experienced Triassic compression, leading to basement decollement, thrusting, and nappe structures due to low-angle Paleo-Pacific Plate subduction. This compression also led to the uplift of the orogenic belt. Moreover, under the tension caused by the high-angle retreat of the Paleo-Pacific Plate, the Cretaceous extensional tectonics led to detachment along the thrust faults, forming half-graben and basin structures along the margins.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54614,"journal":{"name":"Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors","volume":"355 ","pages":"Article 107247"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142050258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Magnetotelluric (MT) impedance and tipper responses from 146 stations, covering central-western India in a grid fashion with a spacing of ∼55 km, were analyzed to evaluate the subsurface structural trends, dimensionalities, and qualitative characteristics of the electric lithosphere in the region.

The analysis revealed a high degree of 3D induction effects in the data at almost every station and period.

This study provides vital evidence to support the suspected bifurcation of the Precambrian Aravalli-Delhi Mobile Belt (ADMB) tectonic trend and its extensions into neighboring Kutch, Saurashtra, and Central Indian Tectonic Zone (CITZ) domains.

In this study, we combined multi-anvil apparatus and laser-heated diamond anvil cell experiments to investigate the stability of magnesite in contact with iron-bearing bridgmanite. We examined the presence of melt, decarbonation, and diamond formation at shallow to mid-lower mantle conditions (25 to 68 GPa; 1350 to 2000 K). Our main observation indicates that magnesite is not stable at shallow lower mantle conditions. At 25 GPa and under oxidizing conditions, melting of magnesite is observed in multi-anvil experiments at temperatures corresponding to all geotherms except the coldest ones. Whereas, at higher pressures and under reducing conditions, in our laser-heated diamond-anvil cell experiments, diamond nucleation is observed as a sub-solidus process even at temperatures relevant to the coldest slab geotherms. Our results indicate that magnesite was reduced and formed diamonds when in contact with the ambient peridotite mantle at depths corresponding to the shallowest lower mantle (33 GPa). Thus, we establish that solid magnesite decomposes at depths of ∼700 km as it contacts the ambient mantle. Consequently, the recycling of carbonates will hinder their transport deeper into the lower mantle.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54614,"journal":{"name":"Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors","volume":"355 ","pages":"Article 107238"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142006623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present a series of numerical experiments exploring the use of localization and inflation schemes in an Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) based geomagnetic DA system. Localization and inflation schemes are (often necessary) modifications to ensemble-based DA systems, which can improve performance, particularly when computational expense limits ensemble size (the number of simultaneous model runs). We find that the studied localization and inflation schemes enable small ensembles to not only match, but exceed the performance of a larger ensemble. Detailed analysis of the results show that, without localization and inflation, even the larger ensembles make adjustments during assimilation which are either too strong or too weak, and lead to poorer estimates of the dynamo state and forecast uncertainties. The use of localization and inflation allows one to better control the impact of assimilation on elements of the dynamo state, thus mitigating some of these issues.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54614,"journal":{"name":"Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors","volume":"355 ","pages":"Article 107237"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0031920124000955/pdfft?md5=43bcc5d6c37c70349093fd2bc6006627&pid=1-s2.0-S0031920124000955-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141932556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
