Geosciences, 2022 The Lau Basin is a back-arc region formed by the subduction of the Pacific plate below the Australian plate. We studied the regional morphology of the back-arc spreading centers of the Northern Lau basin, and we compared it to their relative spreading ...

Rifting/spreading propagation interacts with preexisting transform faults: 3D geodynamic modeling
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 The divergent rifting/spreading centers and the strike-slip transform faults are the essential tectonic units on Earth, the dynamic evolution of which regulates the development of rifting/spreading basins. The propagation of rifting/spreading centers may

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.

From Social Simulation to Integrative System Design [PDF]
, 2011 As the recent financial crisis showed, today there is a strong need to gain "ecological perspective" of all relevant interactions in socio-economic-techno-environmental systems.

Dislocation Kinks in Copper: Widths, Barriers, Effective Masses, and Quantum Tunneling [PDF]
, 2000 We calculate the widths, migration barriers, effective masses, and quantum tunneling rates of kinks and jogs in extended screw dislocations in copper, using an effective medium theory interatomic potential.

Shallow submarine hydrothermal systems in the Aeolian Volcanic Arc, Italy [PDF]
, 2009 The majority of known high-temperature hydrothermal vents occur at mid-ocean ridges and back-arc spreading centers, typically at water depths from 2000 to 4000 meters.

Four-Hundred-and-Ninety-Million-Year Record of Bacteriogenic Iron Oxide Precipitation at Sea-Floor Hydrothermal Vents [PDF]
, 2004 Fe oxide deposits are commonly found at hydrothermal vent sites at mid-ocean ridge and back-arc sea floor spreading centers, seamounts associated with these spreading centers, and intra-plate seamounts, and can cover extensive areas of the seafloor ...

Hydrothermal exploration of the Fonualei Rift and Spreading Center and the Northeast Lau Spreading Center [PDF]
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2006 We report evidence for active hydrothermal venting along two back‐arc spreading centers of the NE Lau Basin: the Fonualei Rift and Spreading Center (FRSC) and the Northeast Lau Spreading Center (NELSC). The ridge segments investigated here are of particular interest as the potential source of a mid‐water hydrothermal plume (1500–2000 m depth) which ...

Oceanic core complex development at the ultraslow spreading Mid‐Cayman Spreading Center [PDF]
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2011 Roughly a third of the global mid‐ocean ridge system spreads at <20 mm/yr (full rate) with predicted low crustal thicknesses, great axial depths, end‐member basalt compositions, and prominent axial faults. These predictions are here further investigated along the ultraslow (15–17 mm/yr) Mid‐Cayman Spreading Center (MCSC) through a compilation of ...
