The Earth's mantle constitutes over 80% of the planet's volume, and is therefore a key reservoir in global geochemical cycling. The magnitudes and length scales of …

Rifted margins are the result of the successful process of thinning and breakup of the continental lithosphere leading to the formation of new oceanic lithosphere. Observations on …
The global mid-ocean ridge system, where tectonic plates diverge, is traditionally thought of as the largest single volcanic feature on the Earth. Yet, wide expanses of smooth sea floor in …
The heavily-revised Practical Handbook of Marine Science, Fourth Edition continues its tradition as a state-of-the-art reference that updates the field of marine science to meet the …

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION that are commonly, but not exclusively, small in eruptive volume. Monogenetic volcanic fields commonly consist of large numbers of volcanic clusters …
Along ultraslow-spreading ridges, where oceanic tectonic plates drift very slowly apart, conductive cooling is thought to limit mantle melting and melt production has been inferred …

Rifted margins are commonly defined as magma-poor or magma-rich archetypes based on their morphology. We re-examine the prevailing model inferred from this classification that …
Abstract The ultraslow eastern Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR) offers an opportunity to study the effect of magma supply on an ultraslow mid-ocean ridge starting from quasi-melt-free …
We estimate that domains with frequent outcrops of mantle-derived ultramafics represent about 20–25% of the seafloor created at ridges spreading at rates less than 40 mm a− 1 and …
