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 …

Ongoing seafloor exploration highlights that ultramafic-hosted seafloor massive sulfide
deposits (UM-SMS) are ubiquitous along slow to ultra-slow spreading ridges. These …

Crustal accretion at mid-ocean ridges governs the creation and evolution of the oceanic
lithosphere. Generally accepted models,,–of passive mantle upwelling and melting predict …

We examined the mineralogical, chemical and isotopic compositions of secondary fluid
inclusions in olivine-rich rocks from two active serpentinization systems: the Von Damm …

Four new hydrothermal vent fields were discovered on the slow spreading Central Indian
Ridge (8–12° S; Segments 1–3), all located off‐axis on abyssal hill structures or Ocean Core …

The depth of earthquakes along mid-ocean ridges is restricted by the relatively thin brittle
lithosphere that overlies a hot, upwelling mantle. With decreasing spreading rate …

Mid-ocean ridges spreading at ultraslow rates of less than 20 mm yr− 1 can exhume
serpentinized mantle to the seafloor, or they can produce magmatic crust. However, seismic …

Submarine magmatism and associated hydrothermal fluid flows has significant feedback
influence on the petroleum geology of sedimentary basins. This study uses new seismic …

At mid-ocean ridges, oceanic crust is emplaced in a narrow neovolcanic region on the
seafloor, whereas basaltic melt that forms this oceanic crust is generated in a wide region …

Polymetallic sulfides present in mid-ocean ridges (MORs) have become important strategic
resources for humans, and a scientific metallogenic model is necessary for the investigation …
