Microearthquakes on the Endeavour segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge [PDF]
We report the results of a 55‐day microearthquake experiment on the Endeavour segment of Juan de Fuca Ridge. The network covered a 5‐km section of the ridge axis centered on the Main vent field and extended 15‐km off axis on the west flank. The ridge axis and flanks were seismically active, and 1750 earthquakes were located with a minimum of five ...

The mechanism of tidal triggering of earthquakes at mid-ocean ridges
Tidal triggering of earthquakes at Axial Volcano on the Juan de Fuca ridge is shown to be driven by tidally induced magma chamber inflation. Fitting the data to theory requires that the frictional parameter A be much smaller than laboratory measurements ...

Description of Barathricola thermophilus, a new species from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent field in the Indian Ocean with redescription of the Barathricola type species (Crustacea, Copepoda, Cyclopoida) [PDF]
Re-study of the type species of the genus Barathricola Humes, 1999 (Copepoda, Cyclopoida, Schminkepinellidae) described from the Pacific Ocean (Juan de Fuca Ridge), and study of the species Barathricola thermophilus sp. nov.

Quantification of Eruption Dynamics on the North Rift at Axial Seamount, Juan de Fuca Ridge
Quantifying eruption dynamics in submarine environments is challenging. During the 2015 eruption of Axial Seamount, the formation of hummocky mounds along the north rift was accompanied by tens of thousands of impulsive acoustic signals generated by the ...

Genomic comparisons of a bacterial lineage that inhabits both marine and terrestrial deep subsurface systems [PDF]
It is generally accepted that diverse, poorly characterized microorganisms reside deep within Earth’s crust. One such lineage of deep subsurface-dwelling bacteria is an uncultivated member of the Firmicutes phylum that can dominate molecular surveys from

ROV samples vents on Juan de Fuca Ridge
In 1991, the JASON Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) successfully performed high‐resolution imaging within complex vent fields on the northern Juan de Fuca Ridge. From June 22 to July 16, 1992, a team of Canadian and U.S. scientists and engineers joined in an expedition to develop sampling capabilities for a HYSUB 5000 ROV in a mid‐ocean ridge ...
