Larval Dispersal: Vent Life in the Water Column [PDF]

open access: yesOceanography, 2012
Visually striking faunal communities of high abundance and biomass cluster around hydrothermal vents, but these animals don't spend all of their lives on the seafloor.

Lava Geochemistry as a Probe into Crustal Formation at the East Pacific Rise [PDF]

open access: yesOceanography, 2012
Basalt lavas comprise the greatest volume of volcanic rocks on Earth, and most of them erupt along the world's mid-ocean ridges (MORs). These MOR basalts (MORBs) are generally thought to be relatively homogeneous in composition over large segments of the

Velocity sections of the upper mantle under the oceans

open access: yesГеофизический журнал, 2016
We constructed the models of the distribution of longitudinal seismic waves velocities for the upper mantle oceanic regions: mid-ocean ridges (MOR), basins, trenches, island arcs and coastal ridges, back-arc troughs (BAT).

The Prediction, Verification, and Significance of Flank Jets at Mid-Ocean Ridges [PDF]

open access: yesOceanography, 2012
One aspect of ocean flow over mid-ocean ridges that has escaped much attention is the capacity of a ridge to convert oscillatory flows into unidirectional flows.

The Lau Basin Float Experiment (LAUB-FLEX) [PDF]

open access: yesOceanography, 2012
Before 2004, little was known about deep ocean circulation in the Lau Basin, a semi-enclosed basin in the South Pacific Ocean, about 1,500 km north of New Zealand.

The Role of Peridotite for Oceanic Volcanism

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The complementary products of oceanic crust formation are compositionally variable melt‐depleted peridotites. Together with the oceanic crust, the melt‐depleted peridotites are continuously recycled back into the mantle.

Role of tectonic stress in seepage evolution along the gas hydrate‐charged Vestnesa Ridge, Fram Strait [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Methane expulsion from the world ocean floor is a broadly observed phenomenon known to be episodic. Yet the processes that modulate seepage remain elusive.
