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

Oceanography, 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.

Endocranial anatomy of the earliest Cretaceous European neosuchian crocodyliform Pholidosaurus purbeckensis provides new evidence for the ecological evolution of Pholidosauridae

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We present new insights into the internal cranial anatomy of the neosuchian crocodyliform Pholidosaurus purbeckensis, based on CT‐scan data of material from the lowermost Cretaceous Purbeck Limestone Group, southern UK. From the study of the endocast, we obtained new information on the phylogeny and the ecological evolution of the Family ...

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

That sinkin’ feeling: Environmentally induced distress on a disappearing island

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent

The Role of Peridotite for Oceanic Volcanism

Geochemistry, 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.

Eruptive timing and 200 year episodicity at 92°W on the hot spot‐influenced Galapagos Spreading Center derived from geomagnetic paleointensity

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2014
Eruptive timing in mid‐ocean ridge systems is relatively poorly constrained, despite being an important variable in our understanding of many mid‐ocean ridge processes, including volcanic construction; magma recharge, flux, and storage; and the stability

Effects of variable magma supply on mid‐ocean ridge eruptions: Constraints from mapped lava flow fields along the Galápagos Spreading Center

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2012
Mapping and sampling of 18 eruptive units in two study areas along the Galápagos Spreading Center (GSC) provide insight into how magma supply affects mid‐ocean ridge (MOR) volcanic eruptions. The two study areas have similar spreading rates (53 versus 55

The Effects of a Microplate on Plume‐Ridge Interactions: Constraints From Comparing Easter and Juan Fernandez Microplates in the Eastern Pacific Ocean

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
This study investigates the nature of plume‐ridge interactions near a tectonic microplate using mantle Bouguer anomaly (MBA) gravity calculations. The focus of this investigation is a comparison of the Easter and Juan Fernandez microplates, which are ...

Building a Continental‐Scale Geodetic Network: The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO)

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) transformed the use of geodesy in North America to study crustal deformation and plate boundary processes by establishing a continental‐scale, standardized, open‐access geodetic network. Built and operated by UNAVCO between 2003 and 2018 as part of the National Science Foundation (NSF)‐funded EarthScope ...

Multi‐proxy sequence stratigraphy of a mixed carbonate–siliciclastic shelf across the Jurassic–Cretaceous transition

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 4, September 2026.
An integrated facies, MS and XRF‐based approach applied to the Tithonian–Berriasian Sidi Khalif Formation (central Tunisia) resolves five Tithonian and eight Berriasian third‐order sequences, showing how mixed carbonate–siliciclastic shelves record coupled eustatic, climatic and tectonic controls and providing a transferable template for similar mud ...
