Core-complex formation driven by lithospheric extension is a first-order process of heat and
mass transfer in the Earth. Core-complex structures have been recognized in the continents …

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 …

Marine minerals such as manganese nodules, Co-rich ferromanganese crusts, and seafloor
massive sulfides are commonly seen as possible future resources that could potentially add …

Coupled magmatic and tectonic activity plays an important role in high-temperature
hydrothermal circulation at mid-ocean ridges. The circulation patterns for such systems have …

Geothermics is an area of geophysics that studies the thermal state and history of the interior
of the Earth. Solar heat penetrates only into the topmost layers of the Earth's crust. Diurnal …

The formation of oceanic detachment faults is well established from inactive, corrugated fault
planes exposed on sea floor formed along ridges spreading at less than 80 km Myr–1 (refs) …

Oceanic core complexes are the uplifted footwalls of very-large-offset low-angle normal
faults that exhume lower crust and mantle rocks onto the seafloor at slow-spreading ridges …

Mineralization: a New Type Of Oceanic Page 1 321 Diversity of Hydrothermal Systems on Slow …

We summarize the uptake of carbon and sulfur during serpentinization of seafloor
peridotites, and discuss the fate of these volatiles during subduction of serpentinite. We use …

Abstract The Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge (AMOR) represents one of the most slow-spreading
ridge systems on Earth. Previous attempts to locate hydrothermal vent fields and unravel the …
