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.

Volcanic evolution of an ultraslow-spreading ridge
Nature Communications, 2023 Nearly 30% of ocean crust forms at mid-ocean ridges where the spreading rate is less than 20 mm per year. According to the seafloor spreading paradigm, oceanic crust forms along a narrow axial zone and is transported away from the rift valley.

Global Hydrogen Production During High‐Pressure Serpentinization of Subducting Slabs
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 Serpentinization is among the most important, and ubiquitous, geological processes in crustal–upper mantle conditions (

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

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 ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 Lavas that have erupted at near‐axis seamounts provide windows into mid‐ocean ridge mantle heterogeneity and melting systematics which are not easily observed on‐axis at fast‐spreading centers.

Hydrothermal plumes as hotspots for deep-ocean heterotrophic microbial biomass production
Nature Communications, 2021 Hydrothermal vents are biogeochemically important, but their contribution to the carbon cycle is poorly constrained. Here the authors build a biogeochemical model that estimates autotrophic and heterotrophic production rates of microbial communities ...

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2013 The global mid-ocean ridge system is a primary focus for energy transfer from the Earth's interior to the lithosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. In a coordinated effort to understand the causes and predict the consequences of mantle-driven physical, chemical, and biological fluxes through the ridge-crest system, the RIDGE (Ridge Inter ...
