262 Voyages Beneath the Sea: a global assessment of macro- and megafaunal biodiversity and research effort at deep-sea hydrothermal vents [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 For over 40 years, hydrothermal vents and the communities that thrive on them have been a source of profound discovery for deep-sea ecologists. These ecosystems are found throughout the world on active plate margins as well as other geologically active ...

Active eruption seen on East Pacific Rise
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1991 Investigators involved in the ADVENTURE program, an Alvin dive program on the East Pacific Rise crest at 9°–10°N, have reported evidence suggesting very recent and possibly ongoing eruptive activity along this portion of the mid‐ocean ridge. Preliminary age dating of basalt samples from the new flows (Figure 1) suggest that the eruption did, in fact ...

Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters, 2020 The East Asian monsoon (EAM) exhibits a robust annual cycle with significant interannual variability. Here, the authors find that the EAM annual cycle can be decomposed into the equinoctial and solstitial modes in the combined sea level pressure, 850-hPa

Geological and geophysical signatures of the East Pacific Rise 8°–10°N
Solid Earth Sciences, 2019 The East Pacific Rise (EPR) 8°–10°N is an archetype for fast-spreading mid-ocean ridge (MOR), and has been one of the most comprehensively studied MOR sections for over four decades.

Missing western half of the Pacific Plate: Geochemical nature of the Izanagi-Pacific Ridge interaction with a stationary boundary between the Indian and Pacific mantles [PDF]
, 2015 The source mantle of the basaltic ocean crust on the western half of the Pacific Plate was examined using Pb–Nd–Hf isotopes. The results showed that the subducted Izanagi–Pacific Ridge (IPR) formed from both Pacific (180–∼80 Ma) and Indian (∼80–70 Ma ...

Active rifting and crustal thinning along the Rivera-Cocos plate boundary as inferred from Mantle Bouguer gravity anomalies [PDF]
Geofísica Internacional, 2004 The El Gordo graben lies within the oceanic lithosphere west of the Middle America Trench at 18.15°N, 104.7°W. This graben has been proposed to mark the southwest tip of an active zone of extension located between the Rivera and Cocos plates. The results

The TsuJal Amphibious Seismic Network: A Passive-Source Seismic Experiment in Western Mexico
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 The geodynamic complexity in the western Mexican margin is controlled by the multiple interactions between the Rivera, Pacific, Cocos, and North American plates, as evidenced by a high seismicity rate, most of whose hypocenters are poorly located.
