Modes of crustal accretion and their implications for hydrothermal circulation [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 AbstractHydrothermal convection at mid‐ocean ridges links the ocean's long‐term chemical evolution to solid earth processes, forms hydrothermal ore deposits, and sustains the unique chemosynthetic vent fauna. Yet the depth extent of hydrothermal cooling and the inseparably connected question of how the lower crust accretes remain poorly constrained ...

Mega‐Depressions on the Cocos Ridge: Links Between Volcanism, Faults, Hydrothermal Circulation, and Dissolution [PDF]
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 High‐resolution bathymetry and three‐dimensional seismic data along the Cocos Ridge reveal a 245 km2 field of ∼1–4 km in diameter seafloor depressions. The seafloor depressions are part of a two‐tiered honeycomb pattern.

Hydrothermal circulation and the thermal structure of shallow subduction zones [PDF]
Geosphere, 2017 Hydrothermal circulation within oceanic basement can have a profound influence on temperatures in the upper crust, including those close to the subduction thrust and in the overlying plate.

Topographic and Faults Control of Hydrothermal Circulation Along Dormant Faults in an Orogen [PDF]
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2018 Hydrothermal systems involving dormant faults within orogenic belts are rarely targeted for geothermal exploration, partly because of the complexity of the 3‐D topography, the unknown permeability of the fault zones and the basement lithology, and the ...

A fault‐driven circulation model for the Lost City Hydrothermal Field [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 AbstractThe Lost City Hydrothermal Field on the Atlantis Massif is an off‐axis hydrothermal system, hosted in serpentinized ultramafic and metagabbroic rocks, that discharges through high‐permeability faults and fractures. High‐pH fluids vent through carbonate chimneys with temperatures ranging between 24°C and 91°C, and vent fluid geochemistry ...

Deep and High-temperature Hydrothermal Circulation in the Oman Ophiolite--Petrological and Isotopic Evidence [PDF]
Journal of Petrology, 2004 A systematic search for evidence of high-temperature hydrous alteration within the gabbros of the Samail ophiolite (Oman) shows that most of the gabbros have been affected by successive stages of alteration, starting above 975°C and ending below 500°C. Sr and O isotopic analyses provide constraints on the nature and origin of the fluids associated with
