Water‐rock interactions within the seafloor are responsible for significant energy and solute
fluxes between basaltic oceanic crust and the overlying ocean. Permeability is the primary …

The mid-ocean ridge (MOR) is the largest, most continuous volcanic system on Earth, yet we
have directly observed, mapped or sampled less than one percent of its total surface area …

We developed a technique for determining paleoeffusion rates and emplacement times for
submarine lava flows, using observations of flow morphology and estimates of eruption …

Submarine pyroclastic eruptions at depths greater than a few hundred meters are generally
considered to be rare or absent because the pressure of the overlying water column is …

Reprocessed multichannel seismic profiles from the 9° N segment of the East Pacific Rise
reveal prominent shallow subbasement events. These events are identified as wide‐angle …

The results of recent laboratory experiments with wax extruded beneath relatively cold water
may be extrapolated to predict the surface morphology of submarine lavas as a function of …

The increasing hydrostatic pressure of the water column with increasing water depth in
subaqueous environments limits the ability of superheated volatiles to expand …

Non-fuel marine minerals are reviewed from the perspective of resources and their value as
active analogs that can advance understanding of types of ancient ore deposits that formed …

The morphology of the sea floor at mid-ocean-ridge spreading centres provides a key to
understanding how ocean crust is constructed. Images of the axial zone of the slow …

We obtained areal variations of crustal thickness, magnetic intensity, and degree of melting
of the sub‐axial upwelling mantle at Thetis and Nereus Deeps, the two northernmost axial …
