Asymmetric magma plumbing system beneath Axial Seamount based on full waveform inversion of seismic data [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe architecture of magma plumbing systems plays a fundamental role in volcano eruption and evolution. However, the precise configuration of crustal magma reservoirs and conduits responsible for supplying eruptions are difficult to explore across most ...

Microbiological characterization of post-eruption "snowblower" vents at Axial Seamount, Juan de Fuca Ridge [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Microbial processes within the subseafloor can be examined during the ephemeral and uncommonly observed phenomena known as snowblower venting. Snowblowers are characterized by the large quantity of white floc that is expelled from the seafloor following ...

Petrological variability of recent magmatism at Axial Seamount summit, Juan de Fuca Ridge
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2013 A combined study of mapping, observational, age constraint, and geochemical data at the summit of Axial Seamount, Juan de Fuca Ridge, has revealed its recent petrological history. Multiple basalt types erupted at the summit in a time sequence.

Geologic history of the summit of Axial Seamount, Juan de Fuca Ridge
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2013 Multibeam (1 m resolution) and side scan data collected from an autonomous underwater vehicle, and lava samples, radiocarbon‐dated sediment cores, and observations of flow contacts collected by remotely operated vehicle were combined to reconstruct the ...

Observation and Modeling of Hydrothermal Response to the 2015 Eruption at Axial Seamount, Northeast Pacific [PDF]
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2018 The 2015 eruption at Axial Seamount, an active volcano at a depth of 1500 m in the Northeast Pacific, marked the first time a seafloor eruption was detected and monitored by an in situ cabled observatory—the Cabled Array, which is part of the Ocean ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2018 Lava flows erupted at Axial Seamount in 1998, 2011, and 2015 are chemically heterogeneous and display decreases in MgO content in their glass rinds with increasing distance from the summit.

Metabolic and population profiles of active subseafloor autotrophs in young oceanic crust at deep-sea hydrothermal vents [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyAt deep-sea hydrothermal vents, magmatically driven rock-water reactions in the crust generate gases and other reduced compounds that subseafloor microorganisms use for chemolithoautotrophy.

Selection Is a Significant Driver of Gene Gain and Loss in the Pangenome of the Bacterial Genus
mSystems, 2020 Microbial genomes have highly variable gene content, and the evolutionary history of microbial populations is shaped by gene gain and loss mediated by horizontal gene transfer and selection.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 Plate divergence along mid‐ocean ridges is accommodated through faulting and magmatic accretion, and, at overlapping spreading centers (OSC), is distributed across two curvilinear overlapping ridge axes.
