The Effects of a Microplate on Plume‐Ridge Interactions: Constraints From Comparing Easter and Juan Fernandez Microplates in the Eastern Pacific Ocean

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
This study investigates the nature of plume‐ridge interactions near a tectonic microplate using mantle Bouguer anomaly (MBA) gravity calculations. The focus of this investigation is a comparison of the Easter and Juan Fernandez microplates, which are ...

Impact of geothermal heating on the global ocean circulation [PDF]

, 2001
The response of a global circulation model to a uniform geothermal heat flux of 50 mW m-2 through the sea floor is examined. If the geothermal heat input were transported upward purely by diffusion, the deep ocean would warm by 1.2°C. However, geothermal

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

That sinkin’ feeling: Environmentally induced distress on a disappearing island

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent

Expedition 302 summary

, 2006
The first scientific drilling expedition to the central Arctic Ocean was completed in September 2004. Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 302, Arctic Coring Expedition (ACEX), recovered sediment cores to 428 meters below seafloor (mbsf) in water

Early development of anoxia prior to the main euxinic phase of the Jenkyns Event on the margin of the Western Tethys (Sachrang Basin, Eastern Alps)

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although the global expansion of oxygen‐depleted marine environments during the Early Toarcian Jenkyns Event (or Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event) is primarily inferred from successions in the NW European epicontinental basins, the timing of the expansion of anoxia in Tethyan basins, where hydrography potentially played a minor role, is poorly ...

Persistent Heterogeneities in the Oceanic Lithosphere Due To Differential Freezing Beneath Ridges

Geophysical Research Letters
Oceanic lithosphere, which forms two‐thirds of Earth's surface, is generated at mid‐ocean ridge spreading centers. Yet the internal structure of the lithosphere is not well characterized and often considered to be homogeneous relative to the structure of

Mantle pseudo-isochrons revisited [PDF]

The 2.0 Ga pseudo-isochron age inferred from the mid-ocean ridge basalt 207Pb/204Pb against 206Pb/204Pb diagram is reexamined on the basis of a statistical box model of mantle processes.

The volcanic history and geochemical evolution of the Hveragerði Region, S. W. Iceland. [PDF]

, 1992
The Hveragerði Region is situated at the Hengill Triple junction, SW Iceland, where there are three volcanic systems. The crust in the area is constructed from both fissure (elongate) and lava shield (conical) eruptive units.

The geodynamics of plume-influenced mid-ocean ridges: insights from the Foundation Segment of the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge

Frontiers in Earth Science
The intersection of the Foundation Plume with the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge is a key location in global geodynamics where a mantle plume is approached by and interacting with a fast-spreading mid-ocean ridge.
