The age and origin of the central Scotia Sea [PDF]
, 2010 Opening of the Drake Passage gateway between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans has been linked in various ways to Cenozoic climate changes. From the oceanic floor of Drake Passage, the largest of the remaining uncertainties in understanding this opening is

Pulsated Global Hydrogen and Methane Flux at Mid‐Ocean Ridges Driven by Pangea Breakup
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 Molecular hydrogen production occurs through the serpentinization of mantle peridotite exhumed at mid‐ocean ridges. Hydrogen is considered essential to sustain microbial life in the subsurface; however, estimates of hydrogen flux through geological time ...

Geochemistry and petrogenesis of volcanic rocks from Daimao Seamount (South China Sea) and their tectonic implications [PDF]
, 2015 The South China Sea (SCS) experienced three episodes of seafloor spreading and left three fossil spreading centers presently located at 18°N, 17°N and 15.5°N.

Time dependent seafloor acoustic backscatter (10-100kHz) [PDF]
, 2003 A time-dependent model of the acoustic intensity backscattered by the seafloor is described and compared with data from a calibrated, vertically oriented, echo-sounder operating at 33 and 93 kHz.

The late Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the South China Sea: A petrologic perspective [PDF]
, 2014 This paper presents a review of available petrological, geochonological and geochemical data for late Mesozoic to Recent igneous rocks in the South China Sea (SCS) and adjacent regions and a discussion of their petrogeneses and tectonic implications. The

Sea-floor tectonics and submarine hydrothermal systems [PDF]
, 2005 The discovery of metal-depositing hot springs on the sea floor, and especially their link to chemosynthetic life, was among the most compelling and significant scientific advances of the twentieth century. More than 300 sites of hydrothermal activity and

The Impact of Sea State Condition on Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Measurements [PDF]
, 2012 Due to a large number of available Airborne Lidar Bathymetry (ALB) survey datasets and scheduled future surveys, there is a growing need from coastal mapping communities to estimate the accuracy of ALB as a function of the survey system and environmental
