Melt-Rock Reaction in the Lower Oceanic Crust and the Influence on the Evolution of Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalts at the Central Indian Ridge (7° 50′–8° 30′ S)
Various crustal processes shape both the lower oceanic crust and mid-ocean ridge basalts
(MORBs). To better understand how these crustal processes influence MORB compositions …

Accretion of the lower oceanic crust at fast-spreading ridges: Insights from Hess Deep (East Pacific Rise, IODP Expedition 345)
At mid-ocean ridges, melts that formed during adiabatic melting of a heterogeneous mantle
migrate upwards and ultimately crystallize the oceanic crust. The lower crustal gabbros …

Oceanic mantle beneath ultraslow spreading ridges metasomatized by variably evolved melts
As the melting residue of the asthenosphere at ocean ridges, the oceanic mantle lithosphere
is initially depleted, which might be re-enriched by various types of melts. However, the …
