Abstract In addition to high‐temperature vents, lower‐temperature flow (LTF) (<300°C) is abundant along mid‐ocean ridges and contributes globally‐important fluxes of heat and water along with largely‐unconstrained geochemical influences on the ocean. We examined the impact of on‐axis LTF on the chemical composition of the overlying water column (<40 m ...

Numerical modeling of phase separation at Main Endeavour Field, Juan de Fuca Ridge
Before being disrupted by a magmatic event in 1999, the vent temperatures and salinities along the axis of the Main Endeavour Field on the Juan de Fuca Ridge exhibited a quasi‐steady spatial gradient in which the southern vent fluids were hotter and less

Disaggregation of Landslide Risk
Abstract Quantifying and disaggregating landslide risk through probabilistic landslide risk analysis (PLRA) is critical for land use regulation and risk reduction. However, no transferable model for PLRA currently exists that resolves landslide consequences to individual buildings at regional scales.

Fault Friction, Plate Rheology, and Mantle Torques From a Global Dynamic Model of Neotectonics
Abstract Improvements in software, parallel computing, global data sets, and laboratory flow‐laws help to develop the global Earth5 thin‐shell finite‐element model of Bird et al. (2008, https://doi.org/10.1029/2007jb005460) into a benchmark study. All experiments confirm that modeled faults (other than megathrusts) have low effective friction of 0.085 ±

Activity and abundance of denitrifying bacteria in the subsurface biosphere of diffuse hydrothermal vents of the Juan de Fuca Ridge [PDF]
Little is known about fixed nitrogen (N) transformation and elimination at diffuse hydrothermal vents where anoxic fluids are mixed with oxygenated crustal seawater prior to discharge.

Abstract As spherical shell mantle convection models become increasingly commonplace, understanding how plates are generated has raised the issue of how to recognize whether rigid plates are present in model output. Tectonocists have long recognized that intraplate regions are not rigid without exception.

Petrological variability of recent magmatism at Axial Seamount summit, Juan de Fuca Ridge
A combined study of mapping, observational, age constraint, and geochemical data at the summit of Axial Seamount, Juan de Fuca Ridge, has revealed its recent petrological history. Multiple basalt types erupted at the summit in a time sequence.

Juan de Fuca Ridge atlas, SeaMARC II acoustic imagery
This open file comprises approximately 15,000 km2 of SeaMARC II side-scan acoustic imaging data from the northern Juan de Fuca and Explorer Ridges. These data are presented in two formats: a mosaic at a scale of 1:250,000 and individual swath images (10 km x 12 km) at a scale of 1:50,000.

Cores drilled into active smokers on Juan de Fuca Ridge
The October 1991 Chronology expedition to the Endeavour Segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge sought to exploit shipboard and land‐based radioisotope analyses based on detailed geological observations and comprehensive sampling to determine the absolute ages of an actively venting ridge‐axis hydrothermal field.

Ancestral Biogeography Reveals Diverse Origins of Costa Rica Margin Seep Invertebrates
ABSTRACT Aim This work addressed the hypotheses that invertebrate species from hydrocarbon seeps at the Pacific Costa Rica Margin (CRM) would descend from adjacent biogeographic provinces, and that common ancestral histories would be identified across invertebrate groups.
