Vigorous convection in porous media

DR Hewitt - Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 2020 - royalsocietypublishing.org
The problem of convection in a fluid-saturated porous medium is reviewed with a focus on
'vigorous' convective flow, when the driving buoyancy forces are large relative to any …

The structure and dynamics of mid-ocean ridge hydrothermal systems

D Coumou, T Driesner, CA Heinrich - Science, 2008 - science.org
Sub-seafloor hydrothermal convection at mid-ocean ridges transfers 25% of the Earth's heat
flux and can form massive sulfide ore deposits. Their three-dimensional (3D) structure and …

Structure, temporal evolution, and heat flux estimates from the Lucky Strike deep‐sea hydrothermal field derived from seafloor image mosaics

We propose a review of the tectonic, magmatic and hydrothermal evolution of slow
spreading ridges, focusing on concepts which we think are most relevant to discuss the rift to …

Lithium and Li-isotopes in young altered upper oceanic crust from the East Pacific Rise

C Brant, LA Coogan, KM Gillis, WE Seyfried… - … et Cosmochimica Acta, 2012 - Elsevier
Lithium contents and Li-isotope ratios have been measured in a section of young oceanic
upper crust formed at the East Pacific Rise and exposed in the Hess Deep rift. The Li …

Long‐lasting evolution of layer 2A in the Western South Atlantic: Evidence for low‐temperature hydrothermal circulation in old oceanic crust

DA Kardell, GL Christeson, JD Estep… - Journal of …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Previous seismic studies suggest that hydrothermal processes are active only within young
oceanic crust (< 10–16 Ma). However, differences between measured and predicted heat …

Heat flow and near‐seafloor magnetic anomalies highlight hydrothermal circulation at Brothers volcano caldera, southern Kermadec arc, New Zealand

F Caratori Tontini, MA Tivey… - Geophysical …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
