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.

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.

Models of stress at mid-ocean ridges and their offsets [PDF]
, 2000 This thesis aims to investigate the stresses at mid-ocean ridge offsets, and particularly at the particular class of offsets represented by oceanic microplates. Amongthese, the Easter microplate is one of the best surveyed.

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

Temperatures in ambient mantle and plumes: Constraints from basalts, picrites, and komatiites [PDF]
, 2006 Several methods have been developed to assess the thermal state of the mantle below oceanic ridges, islands, and plateaus, on the basis of the petrology and geochemistry of erupted lavas. One leads to the conclusion that mantle potential temperature (i.e.

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 ...

Petrological systematics of mid-ocean ridge basalts: Constraints on melt generation beneath ocean ridges [PDF]
, 1992 Mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) are a consequence of pressure-release melting beneath ocean ridges, and contain much information concerning melt formation, melt migration and heterogeneity within the upper mantle.
