Characterization of the frequency of extreme events by the Generalized Pareto Distribution
, 2000 Based on recent results in extreme value theory, we use a new technique for the statistical estimation of distribution tails. Specifically, we use the Gnedenko-Pickands-Balkema-de Haan theorem, which gives a natural limit law for peak-over-threshold ...

Distribution of Bouguer gravity anomaly and crust and upper mantle in the Antarctic region
Antarctic Record, 1986 Bouguer gravity anomaly south of 45°S was derived from the newly provided data of free-air anomaly and topography, and its implications in the crust and upper mantle structure of the land and its marginal ocean area were discussed from the viewpoint of ...

Speed matters - seismicity and spreading processes of ultraslow spreading mid-ocean ridges [PDF]
, 2018 The creation of new ocean lithosphere at mid-ocean ridges is accompanied by characteristic earthquake activity. The analysis of mid-ocean ridge seismicity proved a powerful tool to study submarine accretion of lithosphere and the structure of mid-ocean ...

Vesicularity, bubble formation and noble gas fractionation during MORB degassing
, 2013 The objective of this study is to use molecular dynamics simulation (MD) to evaluate the vesicularity and noble gas fractionation, and to shed light on bubble formation during MORB degassing.

The northern sector of the last British ice sheet : maximum extent and demise [PDF]
, 2008 Strongly divided opinion has led to competing, apparently contradictory, views on the timing, extent, flow configuration and decay mechanism of the last British Ice Sheet.

Nature CommunicationsThe major ion chemistry of the ocean has been assumed to be controlled by river input, hydrothermal circulation at mid-ocean ridges, carbonate production, and low-temperature alteration of seafloor basalt, but marine chemical budgets remain difficult to ...

Glacial cycles drive variations in the production of oceanic crust
, 2014 Glacial cycles redistribute water between oceans and continents causing pressure changes in the upper mantle, with consequences for melting of Earth's interior.

The Agulhas Ridge, South Atlantic: the peculiar structure of a fracture zone [PDF]
, 2005 The Agulhas Ridge is a prominent topographic feature that parallels the Agulhas-Falkland Fracture Zone (AFFZ). Seismic reflection and wide angle/refraction data have led to the classification of this feature as a transverse ridge.
