Age, Depth, and Residual Depth Anomalies in the North Pacific: Implications for Thermal Models of the Lithosphere and Upper Mantle [PDF]
We present an empirical basement depth versus age relation for the North Pacific Ocean, based on the statistical treatment of an ocean-wide gridded data set.

Rotating horizontal convection with meridional ridges
According to recent studies, the large-scale effect of bottom topography on the ocean overturning circulation can be considered as a result of bottom enhancement of turbulent mixing in the abyssal ocean.

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 ...

Geophysical characterisation of the ocean–continent transition at magma-poor rifted margins [PDF]
Geophysical characterisation of the ocean-continent transition (OCT) at magma-poor riftedmargins has focused primarily on the determination of P wave velocities using wide-angleseismic techniques. Such experiments have shown that the OCT is heterogeneous,

Channelized melt flow in downwelling mantle: Implications for 226Ra-210Pb disequilibria in arc magmas [PDF]
We present the results of an analytical model of porous flow of viscous melt into a steadily dilating ‘‘channel’’ (defined as a cluster of smaller veins) in downwelling subarc mantle.

Transfer learning reconstructs submarine topography for global mid-ocean ridges
Mid-ocean ridges are unique, tectonically active geographical units on Earth that profoundly control the ocean environment and dynamics at the global scale.
