Author Correction: Recent active rifting on Venus revealed by wide rift flank uplifts

Nature Geoscience, Published online: 31 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41561-026-02049-3

Comparing numerical models of active and inactive rifts on Venus with observations reveals that rift valleys on Venus with wide rift flank uplifts are active (or were recently). These rifts also might experience faster tectonic extension rates than previously assumed, which might be associated with rising mantle plumes from greater depths.

Only 10% of organic carbon from thawing Pleistocene permafrost in the Arctic that is buried in marine sediments ends up re-entering the active carbon cycle, according to a carbon isotope analysis of sediments from off Qikiqtaruk (Herschel Island) in Canada.
