Interactions between tectonic, magmatic, sedimentary and hydrothermal processes during
rifting and break-up of continental lithosphere lead to a variety of rifted margin types. As …

Volatiles expelled from subducted plates promote melting of the overlying warm mantle,
feeding arc volcanism. However, debates continue over the factors controlling melt …

Oceanic transform faults and fracture zones (FZs) represent major bathymetric features that
keep the records of past and present strike‐slip motion along conservative plate boundaries …

Volatiles play a pivotal role in subduction zone evolution, yet their pathways remain poorly
constrained. Studying the Lesser Antilles subduction zone can yield new constraints, where …

The crustal accretion along mid-ocean ridges is known to be spreading-rate dependent.
Along fast-spreading ridges, two-dimensional sheet-like mantle upwelling creates relatively …

The link between surface tectonic plates and mantle slabs is fundamental for paleo-tectonic
reconstructions and for our understanding of mantle dynamics. Many seismic tomography …

Abstract The Hawaiian Ridge has long been a focus site for studying lithospheric flexure due
to intraplate volcano loading, but crucial load and flexure details remain unclear. We …

Plate tectonics characterize transform faults as conservative plate boundaries where the
lithosphere is neither created nor destroyed. In the Atlantic, both transform faults and their …

We present a 2D P‐wave velocity model from the outer rise region of the Lesser Antilles
island arc, the first wide‐angle seismic study of outer rise processes at an Atlantic …

Heat flow measurements indicate hydrothermal activity in oceanic crust continues at least for
65 my after formation. Hydrothermal activity progressively fills cracks and pores with …
