Acoustic noise measurements on Axial Seamount, Juan De Fuca Ridge
Anomalously high ambient acoustic noise was observed within the caldera of Axial Seamount, located on the Juan de Fuca Ridge at 46°N. Noise spectra from 2 to 30 Hz were calculated from hydrophone signals from four separate seismic recording systems. Noise levels varied up to 25 dB over 6 km.

Abstract We present SGLOBE‐Q2D, a global upper mantle model of frequency‐dependent Rayleigh wave attenuation with uncertainties. We use a data set of ∼ ${\sim} $10 million fundamental and higher mode (up to 4th overtone) Rayleigh wave amplitude measurements with wave periods T∼ ${\sim} $38–275 s.

Carbon fixation by basalt-hosted microbial communities
Oceanic crust is a massive potential habitat for microbial life on Earth, yet our understanding of this ecosystem is limited due to difficulty in access. In particular, measurements of rates of microbial activity are sparse. We used stable carbon isotope

Isotopic niche variability in macroconsumers of the East Scotia Ridge (Southern Ocean) hydrothermal vents: What more can we learn from an ellipse? [PDF]
Aspects of between-individual trophic niche width can be explored through the isotopic niche concept. In many cases isotopic variability can be influenced by the scale of sampling and biological characteristics including body size or sex.

Magnetic alteration of zero-age oceanic basalt [PDF]
The youngest sampled submarine lava flow, which erupted June 1993 on the Juan de Fuca Ridge, provides the basis for a tight constraint on the initial or zero-age magnetization state of MORB.

Seafloor Electromagnetic Measurements above Axial Seamount, Juan de Fuca Ridge
Magnetotelluric (MT) data were collected at three sites around the eastern rim of the caldera of Axial Seamount, on the Juan de Fuca Ridge. The seamount has been observed to be volcanically and hydrothermally active over the last ten years, and is therefore an excellent target for electromagnetic induction studies on the seafloor. This paper follows an

Low-Temperature Hydrothermal Plumes in the Near-Bottom Boundary Layer at Endeavour Segment, Juan de Fuca Ridge [PDF]
Low-temperature (typically 5–75°C) fluid, commonly referred to as "diffuse" hydrothermal flow, emanates from fractures over a significant portion of the Juan de Fuca Ridge seafloor in the Northeast Pacific Ocean (Kelley et al., 2012, in this issue ...

Tectonic synthesis of the Olympic Mountains segment of the Cascadia wedge, using two-dimensional thermal and kinematic modeling of thermochronological ages [PDF]
A fully coupled two-dimensional kinematic and thermal model of a steady state accretionary wedge, constrained by an extensive data set of fission track and (U-Th)/He ages for apatite and zircon, is here used to investigate the development of the Olympic ...
