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.

How transform fault shear influences where detachment faults form near mid-ocean ridges [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Oceanic detachment faults represent an end-member form of seafloor creation, associated with relatively weak magmatism at slow-spreading mid-ocean ridges.

The mechanism of tidal triggering of earthquakes at mid-ocean ridges [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 Tidal triggering of earthquakes at Axial Volcano on the Juan de Fuca ridge is shown to be driven by tidally induced magma chamber inflation. Fitting the data to theory requires that the frictional parameter A be much smaller than laboratory measurements ...

Contemporary Physics, 2016 The Earth’s mid-ocean ridges form a single, connected, topological feature which, as Roger Searle points out, is the longest mountain range in the world. They have developed as a result of the sea floor spreading associated with tectonic movements.

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.

The Mode of Trench-Parallel Subduction of the Middle Ocean Ridge
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Trench-parallel subduction of mid-ocean ridges occurs frequently in plate motion history, such as along the western boundary of the Pacific plate in the early Cenozoic and along the eastern boundary of the Pacific plate at present.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 The Macquarie Ridge Complex (MRC) on the Australia‐Pacific plate boundary south of New Zealand is an extinct mid‐ocean ridge that has experienced a complex tectonic history and produced highly heterogeneous mid‐ocean ridge basalts (MORBs).

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 The resistivity structure of an extinct mid-ocean ridge is significant in understanding the evolution of a mid-ocean ridge from its spreading phase to its dying phase.

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.
