Geophysical constraints on the dynamics of spreading centres from rifting episodes on land
Most of the Earth's crust is created along 60,000 km of mid-ocean ridge system. Here,
tectonic plates spread apart and, in doing so, gradually build up stress. This stress is …

Electrical image of passive mantle upwelling beneath the northern East Pacific Rise
Melt generated by mantle upwelling is fundamental to the production of new oceanic crust at
mid-ocean ridges, yet the forces controlling this process are debated,. Passive-flow models …

Length and timescales of rift faulting and magma intrusion: The Afar rifting cycle from 2005 to present
Although fault and magmatic processes have achieved plate spreading at mid-ocean ridges
throughout Earth's history, discrete rifting episodes have rarely been observed. This paper …
