Hydrothermal circulation and alteration at mid-ocean ridges and ridge flanks have a key role
in regulating seawater chemistry and global chemical fluxes, and support diverse …

▪ Abstract The recent recognition of a potentially vast, unexplored hot microbial biosphere
associated with active volcanism along the global mid-ocean ridge network has …

New investigations of the Southwest Indian and Arctic ridges reveal an ultraslow-spreading
class of ocean ridge that is characterized by intermittent volcanism and a lack of transform …

The third edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to
all aspects of global tectonics, and includes major revisions to reflect the most significant …

Mechanical processes largely control the along-axis segmentation of continental rifts;
however, asthenospheric processes strongly influence the along-axis segmentation of mid …

The relationship between subduction and back‐arc spreading has been well known since
the early days of plate tectonics. However, the reasons why back‐arc basins are associated …

From GF Becker's and LV Pirsson's early enunciations linking the dynamics of magma
chambers to the rock records of sills and plutons to this day, two features stand at the centre …

Both oceanic and continental rifts show regular along‐axis segmentation, but the
relationship, if any, between the two is poorly understood. The tectonically active East …

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 …

The opening of the Central Atlantic Ocean basin that separated North America from
northwest Africa is well documented and assumed to have started during the Late Jurassic …
