Recycled arc mantle recovered from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 Plate tectonics necessitates mantle recycling throughout Earth’s history, yet direct geochemical evidence for mantle reprocessing remains elusive. Here, the authors present evidence of recycled supra-subduction zone mantle wedge peridotite dredged from ...

Dense cold‐water coral garden of Paragorgia johnsoni suggests the importance of the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge for deep‐sea biodiversity [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Mid‐ocean ridges generate a myriad of physical oceanographic processes that favor the supply of food and nutrients to suspension‐ and filter‐feeding organisms, such as cold‐water corals and deep‐sea sponges.

Feeding ecology of Coryphaenoides rupestris from the mid-Atlantic Ridge. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The Macrourid fish roundnose grenadier, Coryphaenoides rupestris, is one of the most common benthopelagic fishes on the northern mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Cephalopods of the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge [PDF]
Marine Biology Research, 2009 A two-leg cruise of R/V G. O. Sars in summer of 2004 along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge explored the diversity and distribution patterns of pelagic and non-hydrothermal bottom communities in the vicinity of the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Volcanic Geological Sites in UGGp European Geoparks: Special Issue [PDF]
Geoconservation Research, 2023 In this Special Issue, we present 11 of the 15 geoparks that show key aspects of the past and current volcanic development of Europe. The sites include currently active locations along the mid-Atlantic ridge, from the Canary Islands and the Azores in the

Nature Communications, 2022 Uniform magmatic crust formed at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean reveals a two-dimensional mantle upwelling facilitated by the large transform faults and the high concentration of volatiles in the primitive melt in the mantle.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs), produced at mid-ocean ridge where the continents and subduction zones are distant, are the product of partial melting of the upper mantle and their chemical composition can provide information about the mantle itself. The

Fast northward energy transfer in the Atlantic due to Agulhas rings [PDF]
, 2007 The adiabatic transit time of wave energy radiated by an Agulhas ring released in the South Atlantic Ocean to the North Atlantic Ocean is investigated in a two-layer ocean model.

Mid-Ocean Ridge and Storm Enhanced Mixing in the Central South Atlantic Thermocline
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 We investigate the spatial distribution of diapycnal mixing and its drivers in the central South Atlantic thermocline between the Rio-Grande Rise to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
