Mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs), located far from subduction zones, are typically thought to be unaffected by subduction processes. However, some MORBs display arc-like geochemical signatures ...

This image shows a cross section of the region surveyed for the study, with the ultraslow-spreading ridge at the centre. Arrows in the red areas at the top of the section show circulation patterns ...

The earthquake distribution on ultraslow mid-ocean ridges differs fundamentally from other spreading zones. Water circulating at a depth of up to 15 kilometres leads to the formation of rock that ...

A program designed to study the mid-ocean ridge system ... “Many of us already cross college and departmental boundaries with our work and having the RIDGE 2000 office here might facilitate ...

Andrew Wozniak For the first time, scientists have witnessed an active seafloor volcanic eruption along a mid-ocean ridge. The team, exploring underwater from the research submersible Alvin ...
