Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 Accreted basaltic rocks are expected to provide information on intraplate volcanism in the oceans. Basaltic rocks, originating from mid‐ocean ridges, plateaus, and seamounts, have been reported from exhumed accretionary complexes. However, basaltic rocks

Persistent Magma‐Rich Waves Beneath Mid‐Ocean Ridges Explain Long Periodicity on Ocean Floor Fabric
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 The ocean floor makes up the majority of the Earth's surface and yet, its geomorphology is not fully understood. Recent debate has focused on whether sea level changes—driven by Milankovitch glacial cycles—generate the abyssal hill fabric of the ocean ...

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 Austinograea species are restricted to hydrothermal vents and are typically considered to be omnivorous predators in vent communities. Here we present the complete mitochondrial genome of Austinograea sp. which was collected from Carlsberg Ridge, the mid-

Geodynamic Models of Melt Generation and Extraction at Mid-Ocean Ridges [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 It is widely accepted that plate divergence at mid-ocean ridges drives mantle flow, mantle melting, and the formation of new oceanic crust. However, many of the details of this process remain obscure because of the inaccessibility of the mantle to direct

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.

Changes in water mass composition and circulation in the central Arctic Ocean between 2011 and 2021 inferred from tracer observations [PDF]
Ocean ScienceThe Arctic Ocean is changing rapidly and Atlantic Water circulation plays a key role in the warming, sea-ice decline, and ecosystem changes observed in the Arctic.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, GeosystemsPartial melting beneath a mid‐ocean ridge creates a chemically depleted layer in the uppermost mantle. This chemical depletion lowers the density of the lithosphere compared with the unmelted mantle.

Patterns of Life on the Southern Mid-Atlantic Ridge: Compiling What is Known and Addressing Future Research [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 The South Atlantic is one of the youngest of all the major oceans. It has prominent topographic features, in particular, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This feature largely determines deepwater circulation patterns that connect this ocean to the North Atlantic,

The Prediction, Verification, and Significance of Flank Jets at Mid-Ocean Ridges [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 One aspect of ocean flow over mid-ocean ridges that has escaped much attention is the capacity of a ridge to convert oscillatory flows into unidirectional flows.

Global variation of seismic energy release with oceanic lithosphere age
Scientific Reports, 2021 Variations in Mid Ocean Ridge seismicity with age provide a new tool to understand the thermal evolution of the oceanic lithosphere. The sum of seismic energy released by earthquakes during a time, and for an area, is proportional to its lithospheric age.
