Interactions between tectonic, magmatic, sedimentary and hydrothermal processes during
rifting and break-up of continental lithosphere lead to a variety of rifted margin types. As …

The formation of abyssal serpentinites leads to deep changes of the oceanic lithosphere
rheology and geochemistry, hence playing a key role on geodynamic and geochemical …

In spite of recent progress in the understanding of magma-poor rifted margins, the processes
leading to the formation and evolution of the exhumed mantle domain and its transition …

Oceanic transform faults and fracture zones (FZs) represent major bathymetric features that
keep the records of past and present strike‐slip motion along conservative plate boundaries …

The crustal accretion along mid-ocean ridges is known to be spreading-rate dependent.
Along fast-spreading ridges, two-dimensional sheet-like mantle upwelling creates relatively …

In the subducting oceanic lithosphere, a significant part of the seismicity is triggered in the
mantle, especially along the upper and lower Wadati-Benioff planes. Several studies have …

Seafloor vent fluids hosted by oceanic core complexes (OCCs) are thought to represent
circulation of seawater-derived hydrothermal fluid along deeply penetrating, low-angle …

The evolution of ocean lithosphere and asthenosphere are fundamental to plate tectonics,
yet high resolution imaging is rare. We present shear wave velocity and azimuthal …

Oceanic crust forms at mid-ocean spreading centres through a combination of magmatic and
tectonic processes, with the magmatic processes creating two distinct layers: the upper and …

We present a high‐resolution three‐dimensional (3‐D) anisotropic P wave velocity (Vp)
model in the northern Hikurangi margin offshore Gisborne, New Zealand, constructed by …
