Upper crustal evolution across the Juan de Fuca ridge flanks [PDF]
Recent P wave velocity compilations of the oceanic crust indicate that the velocity of the uppermost layer 2A doubles or reaches ∼4.3 km/s found in mature crust in <10 Ma after crustal formation. This velocity change is commonly attributed to precipitation of low‐temperature alteration minerals within the extrusive rocks associated with ridge‐flank ...

Osmium isotopes in hydrothermal fluids from the Juan de Fuca Ridge [PDF]
We present Os data for axial high-temperature and off-axial low-temperature hydrothermal solutions from the Juan de Fuca Ridge. The high-temperature, H₂S-bearing axial fluids have unradiogenic Os isotopes pointing to a nearly complete domination of osmium isotopes from the basalts during hydrothermal circulation.

Mid‐Ocean Ridge (MOR) Ash Dispersal on Axial Seamount, Juan de Fuca Ridge
Rare eruption of primitive normal mid‐ocean ridge basalt (N‐MORB) magma (∼9.5 wt% MgO) on the summit of Axial Seamount generated abundant ash that was dispersed for several km.

Linkages between mineralogy, fluid chemistry, and microbial communities within hydrothermal chimneys from the Endeavour Segment, Juan de Fuca Ridge. [PDF]
Rock and fluid samples were collected from three hydrothermal chimneys at the Endeavour Segment, Juan de Fuca Ridge to evaluate linkages among mineralogy, fluid chemistry, and microbial community composition within the chimneys.

Asymmetric seafloor depth across the Juan de Fuca Ridge caused by lithospheric heating
Previous studies attribute asymmetries across the East Pacific Rise to horizontal temperature or pressure gradients in the deep asthenosphere caused by the Pacific Superswell, which, however, cannot explain asymmetries observed across the Juan de Fuca ...

Chemical alteration of sediments on early stage of existing of hydrothermal systems in spreading zones of sedimented ridges (hydrothermal field “Dead Dog”, Middle Valley, Juan de Fuca Ridge) [PDF]
In sediments from Holes DSDP 858B, D, F, located near the active hot vent on the thermal field “Dead Dog” in the northern part of the Juan de Fuca Ridge, Middle Valley, a redistribution of chemical elements occurs as a result of solution-rock interaction.
