Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Mid-Ocean Ridge and Storm Enhanced Mixing in the Central South Atlantic Thermocline
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 We investigate the spatial distribution of diapycnal mixing and its drivers in the central South Atlantic thermocline between the Rio-Grande Rise to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Estimates of the mean circulation in the deep (>2,000m) layer of the Eastern North Atlantic [PDF]
, 1985 A total of 131 current meter records of between 6 and 24 month duration are analysed to describe the deep flow field of the eastern North Atlantic from 19° to 54°N and from the Continental Slope to the Mid Atlantic Ridge.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 The permeability, connectivity, and reactivity of fluid reservoirs in oceanic crust are poorly constrained, yet these reservoirs are pathways for about a quarter of the Earth's heat loss, and seawater‐rock exchange within them impact ocean chemical ...

The Energetic 2022 Seismic Unrest Related to Magma Intrusion at the North Mid‐Atlantic Ridge
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 A seismic swarm affected the 53.3°–54.3° Latitude North section of the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge from 26 September to 10 December 2022. We rely on regional, teleseismic and array data to relocate 61 hypocenters and derive 77 moment tensors.

South Scandinavian joints and Alpine/Atlantic-ridge tectonics
Annals of Geophysics, 2000 Field observations and studies of the joints and dykes in an area shed light on its younger tectonic development; thus, joint orientations measured in Southern Sweden and in Norway have been statistically studied and compared regarding their tectonic ...

Cephalopods of the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge [PDF]
, 2009 A two-leg cruise of R/V G. O. Sars in summer of 2004 along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge explored the diversity and distribution patterns of pelagic and non-hydrothermal bottom communities in the vicinity of the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Mantle thermal pulses below the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and temporal variations in the formation of oceanic lithosphere [PDF]
, 2003 A 20-Myr record of creation of oceanic lithosphere is exposed along a segment of the central Mid-Atlantic Ridge on an uplifted sliver of lithosphere. The degree of melting of the mantle that is upwelling below the ridge, estimated from the chemistry of ...
