We present a new synthesis of oceanic crustal structure from two‐dimensional seismic
profiles to explore differences related to spreading rate and age. Primary results are as …

At plate boundaries, where deformation is localized along centimetre-to kilometre-scale
shear zones, the influence of serpentinite on tectonic processes is linked to its unique …

The lower plate is the dominant agent in modern convergent margins characterized by
active subduction, as negatively buoyant oceanic lithosphere sinks into the asthenosphere …

An Introduction to Seismology, Earthquakes and Earth Structures is an introduction to
seismology and its role in the earth sciences, and is written for advanced undergraduate and …

Geophysical evidence precludes the existence of a large, mainly molten magma chamber
beneath portions of the East Pacific Rise (EPR). A reasonable model, consistent with these …

Convective circulation of seawater through oceanic crust at mid-ocean ridges (MOR) and on
ridge flanks has wide-ranging effects on heat transport, the chemical and isotopic …

This paper discusses the geological and geophysical data available on mid‐ocean ridges
with outcrops of serpentinized mantle peridotites, with the objective of better constraining the …

In a study of geological and geophysical data from the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge, we have
identified 17 large, domed edifices (megamullions) that have surfaces corrugated by …

In this study we construct a thermal and mechanical model for the genesis of oceanic crust.
Magma is halted in its ascent within the oceanic crust when it reaches a freezing horizon …

Seafloor hydrothermal activity at mid-ocean ridges has a major impact on the chemistry of
the oceans [Edmond et al., 1979] and has been responsible for extensive alteration of …
