Hydroacoustic Monitoring of Oceanic Spreading Centers: Past, Present, and Future [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 Mid-ocean ridge volcanism and extensional faulting are the fundamental processes that lead to the creation and rifting of oceanic crust, yet these events go largely undetected in the deep ocean.

Variations in Volcanism and Tectonics Along the Hotspot‐Influenced Reykjanes Ridge
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 Mapping and sampling four sections of the slow‐spreading Reykjanes Ridge provide insight into how tectonic and volcanic activity varies with distance from the Iceland plume.

Morphology and tectonics of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 7°–12°S
, 2003 We present swath bathymetric, gravity, and magnetic data from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between the Ascension and the Bode Verde fracture zones, where significant ridge–hot spot interaction has been inferred.

Transfer learning reconstructs submarine topography for global mid-ocean ridges
International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and GeoinformationMid-ocean ridges are unique, tectonically active geographical units on Earth that profoundly control the ocean environment and dynamics at the global scale.

Active Long-Lived Faults Emerging Along Slow-Spreading Mid-Ocean Ridges [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 In the classic mid-ocean ridge model, new seafloor is generated through a combination of magmatic diking feeding lava flows at the spreading axis, and the formation of short-offset, high-angle normal faults that dip toward the axis.

Hydrography and flow in the rift valley of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
, 2000 Slow-spreading mid-ocean ridges such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge are characterized by deep axial rift valleys which are isolated from the water on the ridge flanks.

The discovery of new deep-sea hydrothermal vent communities in the Southern Ocean and implications for biogeography [PDF]
, 2012 Since the first discovery of deep-sea hydrothermal vents along the Galápagos Rift in 1977, numerous vent sites and endemic faunal assemblages have been found along mid-ocean ridges and back-arc basins at low to mid latitudes.
