Beneath ultraslow‐spreading ridges, the oceanic lithosphere remains poorly understood.
Using recordings from a temporary array of ocean bottom seismometers, we here report an …

Seismic reflection profiles from the northwestern and central part of the Fram Strait show
thick packages of drift type sediments mainly along the western Yermak Plateau flank, but …

The Arctic mid-ocean ridge system constitutes the most active source of earthquakes in the
north polar region. However, the characteristics of its earthquake activity at teleseismic and …

Ultraslow spreading mid‐ocean ridges have a low magma budget and melt is distributed
unevenly along the ridge axis. There is little or no basaltic crust between isolated magmatic …

Accretion mechanisms at ultraslow spreading ridges are still only poorly understood due to
difficult survey conditions for seismic experiments at these ridges. Melts gets focused in …

While nascent oceanic lithosphere at slow to fast spreading mid‐ocean ridges (MOR) is
relatively well studied, much less is known about the lithospheric structure and properties at …

Passive rifting and the early non‐volcanic formation of ocean basins are fundamental
aspects of the plate tectonic cycle. Cenozoic plate margins where this has occurred are rare …

The western Svalbard continental margin contains thick sediment sequences with areas
known to contain gas hydrates. Together with a dynamic tectonic environment, this makes …

In 1999, an unusual earthquake swarm at the 85° E/85° N volcanic centre on the ultraslow
spreading Gakkel Ridge, Arctic Ocean, was detected teleseismically. The swarm lasted over …
