Assessment of decadal-scale ecological change at a deep Mid-Atlantic hydrothermal vent and reproductive time-series in the shrimp Rimicaris exoculata [PDF]
This study presents a comparison of distribution and abundance of dominant megafaunal species at the TAG hydrothermal mound on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge from 1994 to 2004.

Crustal accretion at the Reykjanes Ridge, 61°–62°N
We report results of a seismic, gravity, and magnetic survey of the Reykjanes Ridge spreading center at 61°–62°N, about 600 km from the center of the Iceland mantle plume.

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.

Mantle flow geometry from ridge to trench beneath the Gorda-Juan de Fuca plate system [PDF]
Tectonic plates are underlain by a low-viscosity mantle layer, the asthenosphere. Asthenospheric flow may be induced by the overriding plate or by deeper mantle convection1.

Post Eruption inflation of the East Pacific Rise at 9°50′ N
In June 2008, we installed a geodetic network at 9°50′ N on the East Pacific Rise to track the long‐term movement of magma following the 2005/6 eruption. This network consists of 10 concrete benchmarks stretching from the ridge to 9 km off‐axis.

Helium isotope variations in Juan De Fuca Ridge basalts
We have measured ³He/4He ratios and He and Ne concentrations on a suite of 24 basalt glasses from the neovolcanic zone of the Juan de Fuca Ridge (JdFR) from 44.6°N near the Blanco Transform up to 48.0°N on the Endeavour Segment. The helium isotope ratios exhibit a clear geographic variation, with relatively constant values of 7.8 RA along the southern ...

Abstract Back‐arc basins provide insights into the processes governing the evolution of continental rifting to seafloor spreading. The Bransfield basin hosts a back arc rift that is hypothesized to be in the late stages of this transition. Orca volcano is a submarine volcano that lies on the most evolved portion of the rift.

Abstract Accretionary complexes are key archives of subduction zone processes, preserving records of forearc growth, deformation, and tectonic reorganization. The Chugach–Kodiak accretionary complex of southern Alaska records Jurassic to Cretaceous underplating at shallow to intermediate subduction conditions. The McHugh Complex, an imbricated sequence

Temperature and pressure adaptation of a sulfate reducer from the deep subsurface
Microbial life in deep marine subsurface faces increasing temperatures and hydrostatic pressure with depth. In this study, we have examined growth characteristics and temperature-related adaptation of the Desulfovibrio indonesiensis strain P23 to the in ...
