A Highly Depleted and Subduction‐Modified Mantle Beneath the Slow‐Spreading Mohns Ridge

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
The Mohns Ridge is a very slow‐spreading ridge that, together with the Knipovich Ridge, marks the boundary between the North American and Eurasian plates in the Norwegian‐Greenland Sea.

Active Long-Lived Faults Emerging Along Slow-Spreading Mid-Ocean Ridges [PDF]

open access: yesOceanography, 2012
In the classic mid-ocean ridge model, new seafloor is generated through a combination of magmatic diking feeding lava flows at the spreading axis, and the formation of short-offset, high-angle normal faults that dip toward the axis.

Radiocarbon constraints on the extent and evolution of the South Pacific glacial carbon pool

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
On glacial/interglacial timescales CO2 might have been sequestered from the atmosphere and stored within the deep ocean. Here, the authors show that an old and CO2-rich water mass occupied the glacial South Pacific between ∼2,000 and 4,300 m water depth ...

Morphology and tectonics of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 7°–12°S

open access: yes, 2003
We present swath bathymetric, gravity, and magnetic data from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between the Ascension and the Bode Verde fracture zones, where significant ridge–hot spot interaction has been inferred.

Hydrothermal Discharge During Submarine Eruptions: The Importance of Detection, Response, and New Technology [PDF]

open access: yesOceanography, 2012
Submarine volcanic eruptions and intrusions construct new oceanic crust and build long chains of volcanic islands and vast submarine plateaus. Magmatic events are a primary agent for the transfer of heat, chemicals, and even microbes from the crust to ...

Connectivity and divergence of symbiotic bacteria of deep-sea hydrothermal vent mussels in relation to the structure and dynamics of mid-ocean ridges

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The population divergence process of deep-sea vent invertebrates is driven by both biotic (e.g., dispersal during the larval stage) and abiotic factors such as deep-ocean currents, depth, and the geological setting of vents.

Models of stress at mid-ocean ridges and their offsets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
This thesis aims to investigate the stresses at mid-ocean ridge offsets, and particularly at the particular class of offsets represented by oceanic microplates. Amongthese, the Easter microplate is one of the best surveyed.

Corals and Reef‐Dwelling Fish Regulate Carbon Storage and Cycling Processes in Coral Reef Ecosystems

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Coral reefs are biodiversity hotspots, yet their role in carbon storage and cycling remains poorly understood. Using field surveys and modeling in the South China Sea, we reveal the overlooked potential of carbon storage in reef ecosystems and how reef fish, corals, and surface sediment jointly shape reef carbon reservoirs.

Crustal accretionary processes at mid-ocean ridges - Valu Fa Ridge, Lau Basin [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The structure of oceanic crust is surprisingly uniform, which suggests that crustal accretionary processes at mid-ocean ridges must be broadly similar, despite their different spreading rates and seafloor morphologies.

The influence of mid-ocean ridges on euphausiid and pelagic ecology

open access: yes, 2012
Chapters 1 & 2. Euphausiids comprise a major component of ecosystems in the pelagic realm, the world’s largest habitat, but basin scale drivers of euphausiids diversity and abundance are poorly understood. Mid-Ocean Ridges are the largest topographical
