Featured Article: A brief review of single silicate crystal paleointensity: rock-magnetic characteristics, mineralogical backgrounds, methods and application
Single silicate crystals hosting tiny magnetic inclusions have attracted attention as highly reliable medium for recording the paleomagnetic field, and single silicate crystal paleointensity (SCP) is an important technique especially in studies on the long-term behavior of the geomagnetic field and studies using extraterrestrial samples. This article provides a brief review on the rock-magnetic characteristics of silicate crystals selected in paleomagnetic studies, the mineralogical background of the hosting silicates, and experimental procedures developed to obtain reliable data from magnetically weak samples with distinctive rock-magnetic features. We also overview the studies on SCP and related topics on various terrestrial and extraterrestrial samples. So far, only several groups of scientists have been involved in SCP studies, despite its potential. We hope that this article will guide readers who are interested in utilizing the SCP technique in their research.
Featured Article: Forecasting the fate of vertically propagating dikes from geodetic data
This study investigates the cause of dike arrests beneath active volcanoes by reconciling geodetic measurements with theoretical and experimental insights. Four causes of dike arrests are considered: (1) solidification, (2) insufficient volume, (3) negative buoyancy, and (4) stress perturbation near the dike tip. Then, this study discusses the cause of dike arrests associated with the 1997 and 1998 seismic swarm off the Izu Peninsula, Japan, and the 2015 failed eruption of Sakurajima volcano, Japan, as an example. This study suggests that the Izu Peninsula cases are caused by insufficient volume of the dike, the loss of buoyancy, or both. The Sakurajima case is most likely due to insufficient volume.

Aims and scope
Earth, Planets and Space (EPS) is an international, peer-reviewed and open access e-journal publishing high-quality scientific articles in the Earth and Planetary Sciences, particularly geomagnetism, aeronomy, space science, seismology, volcanology, geodesy, and planetary science. EPS also welcomes articles in new and interdisciplinary subjects, including those on new instrumentation.
EPS publishes in a variety of formats: Full Papers, Express Letters, Frontier Letters, Technical Reports and Comments. In all of these categories, only new and original contents will be considered for publication. Express Letters provide authors with a way to rapidly publish brief reports of high-impact results. Frontier Letters cover frontier research in various fields in Earth and Planetary Sciences, and can be contributed only through an invitation by the Editor-in-Chief. Technical Reports present technical aspects of research in related fields. EPS also provides a venue for topical special issues based on conferences, research projects, and other research initiatives.
