Role of tectonic stress in seepage evolution along the gas hydrate‐charged Vestnesa Ridge, Fram Strait [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Methane expulsion from the world ocean floor is a broadly observed phenomenon known to be episodic. Yet the processes that modulate seepage remain elusive.

Variations in downslope activity and bottom current dynamics in a land‐detached submarine channel system since the Last Glacial Maximum

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Gollum Channel System is a land‐detached large‐scale canyon‐channel system situated offshore southwest Ireland on the Northeast Atlantic margin. The system has been considered inactive with downslope gravity flows since the last glacial period, but geophysical data in some of its branches do suggest Holocene activity.

Effects of variable magma supply on mid‐ocean ridge eruptions: Constraints from mapped lava flow fields along the Galápagos Spreading Center

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2012
Mapping and sampling of 18 eruptive units in two study areas along the Galápagos Spreading Center (GSC) provide insight into how magma supply affects mid‐ocean ridge (MOR) volcanic eruptions. The two study areas have similar spreading rates (53 versus 55

Drilling of shallow marine sulfide-sulfate mineralisation in south-eastern Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy; Seafloor sulfides, Tyrrhenian Sea, highsulfidation; hydrothermal systems, Palinuro [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Semi-massive to massive sulfides with abundant late native sulfur were drilled in a shallowwater hydrothermal system in an island arc volcanic setting at the Palinuro volcanic complex in the Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy.

The making of pure quartzose sand in continental interiors: Paraná River (Brazil and Argentina)

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As part of a comprehensive project on sedimentary processes in South America, this study focuses on sediment generation in the intracratonic Paraná Basin and monitors the evolution of sand composition along the Paraná River from central Brazil to the Río de la Plata estuary in Argentina.

Eruptive timing and 200 year episodicity at 92°W on the hot spot‐influenced Galapagos Spreading Center derived from geomagnetic paleointensity

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2014
Eruptive timing in mid‐ocean ridge systems is relatively poorly constrained, despite being an important variable in our understanding of many mid‐ocean ridge processes, including volcanic construction; magma recharge, flux, and storage; and the stability

Global isostatic geoid anomalies for plate and boundary layer models of the lithosphere [PDF]

open access: yes
Commonly used one dimensional geoid models predict that the isostatic geoid anomaly over old ocean basins for the boundary layer thermal model of the lithosphere is a factor of two greater than that for the plate model.

RIDGE and InterRidge: Cooperative interdisciplynary studies of mid-ocean ridges [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
RIDGE (gidge mer-Oisciplinary Boba1 bperiments) is a major research initiative in the United States designed to complement existing research on spreading centers. RIDGE has been designed to integrate exploration, expenment and theory into a major, decade-

LANDSAT survey of near-shore ice conditions along the Arctic coast of Alaska [PDF]

open access: yes
The author has identified the following significant results. Winter and spring near-shore ice conditions were analyzed for the Beaufort Sea 1973-77, and the Chukchi Sea 1973-76.
